Looks like Gorsuch will be confirmed

Do you feel bad about Merrick Garland? Supreme Court.

Any idea how many lower court appointments like Estrada's that republicans have blocked?

Did Garland's wife miscarry, and then die from painmed overdose? Also, that was the first shot, not counting Bork and Thomas. Leftists started this, and can never claim that Republicans are equally to blame (without lying). And they have blood on their hands.

When did democrats ever deny an SC nominee a confirmation vote?

How about never?

We can go back and forth all day about who's on first .. it won't matter. War has been declared and I'm real happy that it has.

Republicans have two choices .. choose another candidate, or use the nuclear option. Either way, the resistance will continue and only get stronger.

Just wondering .. did you have this much angst about opposition when republicans were doing it to Obama? All sense of bi-partisanship went out the window. Did that concern you then?

I heard that the first time you said it brother .. but thought, 'he can't be serious.'

Estrada was never a nominee for the Supreme Court .. he was a nominee for the Court of Appeals .. and if we're going to joust about which side started opposition to all court appointments, that could take forever and wouldn't produce anything conclusive.

Does the fact that judicial appointments under the republican held Senate during Obama's years was less than half of what it was under a democratic held Senate during George Bush's years count?

What makes this republican bed different than any democratic bed is that democrats have never refused to hear a republican nominee for the SC. Even if they opposed that nominee, they allowed that nominee to come to a confirmation vote. That was not the case with Garland, and it shouldn't be the case with Gorsuch.

If republicans want him .. use the nuclear option and we'll never have to have this conversation again.

and next time don't refrain from allowing judges to be appointed by a black president like they did Obama


court cases were piling up all over the country because the republicans REFUSED to allow our first black president to appoint judges


the dems NEVER allowed that to happen to a republican president


they NEVER ALLOWED IT TO A SUPREME COURT JUSTICE


does the republicans still use 51 for a lower court appointee?

"...court cases were piling up all over the country because the republicans REFUSED to allow our first black president to appoint judges..."

You're really going to need to provide proof, on this one, you cum sucking, weasel fucking, dried up ole twat.

 

[USFREEDOM911]

TRIALS WERE BEING CANCELED AND JUSTICE WAS BEING DENIED AMERICANS BECAUSE THE Rs WERE BEING PARTIASAN DICKHEADS

LINK IT UP; YOU CRACK SMOKING, STREET CORNER WHORE.

 

[USFREEDOM911]

Republicans created a judicial emergency by their failure to confirm Obama nominees.

Now they have a problem with this? :0) Laughable

Translation:
We didn't get out way, so we're going to take our ball and go home

Do any of the leftists on this board ever feel guilty about the whole Miguel Estrada episode?

Not about that or any of their behavior; because of their inflated feelings of entitlement.

believe it or not, both sides don't want to use the nuke option. Otherwise it would have been used before. The thing is, no one wants to set that precedent. Everytime the party in power has had the opportunity, they've declined because they knew power doesn't last forever and they would know that one day they'll be on the wrong side of it. Both sides like the idea that a broader consensus might be needed to confirm a judge.

Bullshit....the party in power never NEEDED to use the nuke option because no SC nominee has EVER been filibustered.....

The Dems want to use the filibuster against Trumps choice, then they are responsible for forcing the nuke option to be used.....

THEY are setting a precedent with the filibuster....

 

[PostmodernProphet]

Either way, the resistance will continue and only get stronger.

and since we will have our nominees approved, no one will give a fuck.......

 

[Airstrip One]

Would Dems feel more or less sad if Republicans had simply let the Senate stage a hearing, and then vote Garland down with their majority?

BUILD THAT WALL!

 

[Airstrip One]

BUILD THAT WALL!

I don't think that would have been as effective at blocking Estrada as a filibuster.

[cawacko]

So Dems filibuster this dude, Republicans go nuclear then someone croaks and Republicans replace them with the more conservative Pryor from Alabama.

 

[tsuke]

[BRUTALITOPS]

THEIR TURNING THE FRICKING FROGS GAY

 

[Teflon Don]

You mean for the next 3 years. Because the GOP now has set a precedent that no nominees get considered in the final year of a term.

Joe Biden set that precedent
