“Pre-approved” by Senate as AG
If McConnell even allows a vote on this we will have a pretty good idea of the magnitude of the dirt the RATs have on him.
He's been a puppet since day one, and always will be.
Why don't you ever participate in FR discussions?
I sure hope you are a monthly donor for the privilege.
If all we can do is hope the Good Witch will give the Cowardly Lion a heart, we are in a world of hurt.
McConnell, the cowardly turtle, has never stood up to Obama. We have no faith in him.
Leave the on our side off of that. It is incongruous.
Do you go for the Hail Mary pass, hoping a Republican becomes President? Hopefully the Senate stays Republican.
What if the Senate turns democrat in the election?
What if Hillary or Bernie wins? It’s all over.
Maybe a fight with Obama now for an acceptable nominee would be better?
Who knows? The devil you know vs the devil you don’t know.
In this instance, for compelling business reasons, the GOPe wants the same thing as populist insurgents do: another Justice like Scalia, or as close as can be attained. The Senate will therefore hold fast against any Obama appointee. The issue of a pending opening on the Court will also help to unite and energize the GOP during the election campaign.
Look, Trump has faith in Mitch, so don’t fret.
It’s time for the 2 senators that are running for president to draw a line in the sand call out Mitch.
The title is inaccurate ... the feckless are not ‘on our side’. They are blackmailed and do as the masters in the oligarchy6 tell them.
McConnell will negotiate something with 0bama.
Corrupt federal lawmakers let any federal government official outside the legislative branch steal legislative powers from both the federal government and the states so that they can do Congresss unconstitutional legislative work for it.
By letting outsiders do their dirty work work for it, lawmakers keep their voting records clean to fool low-information patriots to reelect them, such voters clueless about the federal governments constitutionally limited powers.
My concern about the corrupt Senate confirming an Obama-nominated activist justice is this. Senators may try to keep their voting records clean by deliberately ”abdicating” their power to confirm a justice by going on recess in order to let Obama make a recess appointment.
Remember in November !
When patriots elect Trump, Cruz, or whatever conservative they elect, they need to also elect a new, state sovereignty-respecting Congress that will not only work within its constitutional Article I, Section 8-limited powers to support the new president, but also protect the states from unconstitutional federal government overreach as the Founding States had originally established the Senate to do.
Also, consider that such a Congress would probably be willing to fire state sovereignty-ignoring activist justices confirmed by previous state sovereignty-ignoring senators.
