the Scalia situation.

Obama is free to nominate anyone he wants. Not much different than a party saying a budget is dead on arrival. What is funny is that the democrat party has been playing games with judges since Bork. Now they act SHOCKED. SHOCKED I SAY. When it comes back on them

You're really splitting hairs. So, Schumer was lying then? Doesn't that make him evil?

And didn't Obama support an obstructionist action?

There really isn't a difference. Politicians get political when it comes to SCOTUS.

You said on another thread that party is only like minded people getting together. It's not - it's become a brainwashing sort of thing, where people who are immersed in party politics can no longer see things as they are.
 
he claimed with in the HOURof notification of the mans DEATH that they would refuse to allow any vote.



the constitution reguires him to you fucking traitors

Who cares what the timing of it was?

What he said is not discernibly different from what Schumer said, or certain the filibuster that Obama supported.
 
This is really what I'd call a "hack test," desh. If you really see a huge difference between McConnell and previous words and actions by Schumer and Obama (among others), it's 100% that you're a hack.

There just isn't a way around that. You'll support Democrats for things that you think are traitorous when done by Republicans. Couldn't be more clear.

There is so much irony & contradiction in these 3 lines alone. I wouldn't even know where to begin.

And I don't hate you desh. I'm tired of your dishonesty, and of your partisan attacks. Big difference.
 
is voting against a nominee unconstiutional?


NO


is filibustering unconstitutional?



NO




Is refusing to schedule a vote on a supreme court nominee unconstitutional?



YES
 
For starters, they're all obstructionist actions. I don't see a difference.

Beyond that, the Constitution is not specific about requiring an actual up & down vote.
 
I don't think the Republicans are doing the right thing. But they're politicians, and they're doing the political thing. I hold no illusions whatsoever that Dems in their position wouldn't do the exact same thing (and we have historical proof of that).

What I do hope is that this backfires on the GOP come election time. It's somewhat offensive to me that they're trying to frame this as anything other than cynical & political.

I would have empathy for you if you were showing the same outrage in 2003 and 2007. But you looked the other way. You are being no less partisan or political than they are yet trying to display a veneer of concern for the US Constitution. I say lie in the bed you made. I bathe in your crocodile tears

Listen you ignorant little twit your party set precedence by doing this B.S reap what you sew. LIAR LIAR LIAR doesn't work because as my links have shown, the democrats have made a living at this. The commies in your party are walking talking double standards!

The idea that there is a significant difference between what McConnell said, and what Schumer said or Obama did, is pure partisan hackery.
