This is absolutely a game changer that is going to blow up big time in the faces of the GOP.
First, denying President Obama the opportunity to place a nominee on the Court will invite an unprecedented level of media uproar that will lead to a further erosion of the popularity of the Republican Party.
Second, once the Senate GOP has been raked over the coals and public approval drops to the low teens, they will fold, approving the president’s nominee, and proceeding to lose whatever credibility it has left with Conservatives.
This will be followed by the loss of the Republican Senate majority and a presidential loss to either Hillary or to Joe Biden.
We could very well witness the end of the Republican Party.
Wow, Harry Reid has spoken.
Obama and his supporters can go eff themselves.
There is 80 years of precedent for supporting waiting until after a presidential election to appoint a Supreme Court justice.
There is NO specific number of Supreme Court Justices required by law in this case, either - it can function quite well with only 8.
And the GOP and their proselytes can drop dead.
We Conservatives are not whores selling our soul for popularity or votes.
In my opinion the Republican party died decades ago.
Americans need to be reminded how far left Obama’s picks have been, and asked if they like gay marriage, open borders, boys using girls’ bathrooms & showers, coddling terrorists etc. It is true the country has moved left, but many people are unhappy with the direction of the country. MUCH of the blame is due to SCOTUS.
OK, so what is your plan?
I would bet that 99.5% of the population could not name ONE SC justice.
I don’t think they would care that much if the GOP stalled the nomination the communist pres. will put up.

Please use the “/sarc” tag so no one thinks you’re serious.
