Republicans shouldn’t dare oppose Obama SCOTUS nominees ping to Today show list.

If they are moderate liberals, who are the raidcal ones? Of course, Obama will get whatever he wants, and how dare you try to stop him!

Goebbels and Orwell could do little better than the managing editors in the Mainstream media. Destroy conservatism by completely ignoring the idea and redefining the previous far left as the right, and the extreme left as the “normal” left.

What in the sam hill is a “fake fight”? Either you fight or you don’t.

alison Stewart was a news reader on MSNBC. Now she’s an erudite commentator on NPR. She still has that nervous tick in her left eye whenever she lies, which is every time she opens her mouth.

We nominated most of the supreme court justices in the last 28 years. Reagan gave us Alito but also Connor and Kennedy. Bush Senior gave us Souter the turd (helped in no small part by outgoing senator John Sununu’s father who was his chief-of-staff)and Thomas. Bush gave us Roberts and Alito (almost Meyers).
Before that, Ford gave us the turd of John Paul Stevens, and Nixon appointed Blackmun, Powell, Rhenquist, and Burgher (only one of which was actually a conservative).
Most of our guys have batted .500 at best (Bush only batted 1.000 because we forced his hand on Meyers). We should not be defending a one-seat majority on the supreme court, we should be defending a 3-seat majority. It’s disgusting to think of our court swinging to the left if one of our venerable conservative justices were to fall ill after spending so much energy to nominate justices who will actually apply the constitution as written.

I was at the gym and I saw this on tv. Glad I didn’t have to listen to it. Sounds like it was a “fake” discussion.

It would be a fake fight because there aren't 10 GOP senators who oppose nominees like those Zero will send up.
When Clinton nominated Ginsburg, easily the most radical nominee of the 20th century, maybe ever, only 3 Republicans voted against her.
We can't fix the Republicans unless we recognize what they are.

Ruth Bader Ginsburg and Stephen Breyer are "moderate" liberals.
Huh? Is this the same Ruth Buzzie Ginsburg that wants PROSTITUION to be legalized and is a staunch supporter of abortion on demand no exceptions - this is a moderate position? Boy I would hate to see what left ideology is all about.................

Maybe there is a silver lining in not achieving the Constitutional Option - better have one or two Senators that can show their spine and gonads and filibuster this radicalization of SCOTUS.

Republican opposition to Obama Supreme Court nominees would constitute a "fake fight" demonstrating that the GOP remains mired in the culture wars. Such was the collective wisdom of two of the roundtable members on ABC's "This Week" today. yep.
Just like Israel remains mired in a fake war of survival against moderate muslims.
I am so tired of this "Alice in Wonderland" universe the self-styled moderate liberals inhabit.
Their black-is-white and up-is-down hissy fits are just plain humorous at this point.
The collective amnesia is truly spectacular.
The domestic socialists never opposed or blocked any of the Bush appointments.
Uh huh.
I am praying for some real heavy duty fake fights which will last for years... if the GOP grows some.
