Another RINO lining up to kiss some Obamass. It’s to be expected.

As long as the majority of Repubs hang in there; we should be OK.

Maybe.

Hopefully.

"If he puts forth someone that we think is in the mold of President Obama's vision for America, then we'll use every device available to block that nomination," Tillis said. He advised the president to nominate someone who has "an almost identical resume and capabilities of Justice Scalia."

Not time to panic...yet.

Who wouldn’t be proud to be seen as “obstructionist” when what we’re obstructing is open Marxism?

Either he is naive or if he really believes this will happen, he needs to be tested for drugs.

Geez. Are the pubbie senators afraid it’ll go on their permanent record too? Idiots. Why did we gain “control” of the house and senate again?

my advice: grow a pair. Obstructing the serial traitor obama is precisely what many current Republicans were sent to Washington to do . . . SO DO IT!!!!!!!!

"Sen. Thom Tillis fears GOP will be seen as obstructionist if it blocks Obama SCOTUS"

There is already precedent by the DEMS to ignore an immediate replacement for SCOTUS .
Quotes by both Schumer and Obama confirm this in 2007 .

What a spineless Nancy-boy.

Its time to repay the Rats for their Borking of Judge Bork and for the filibuster of Miguel Estrada.

No lifetime appointments for lame-duck Bath House!

I have been a loyal Republican for decades.

Though I detest the GOPe, I have remained loyal through the last few years of weakness of acquiescence to the repulsive Obumagabe regime — holding out hope that they will shake off the McConnell malaise and come to their senses and once again fight for conservatism.

I am at my last straw.

If the GOP caves on this nominee, they are dead to me.

Maybe he should be more worried as being perceived as being a Democrat if he and the other RINOs just keep giving dear leader every damn, marxist thing he demands.

By all means then throw the country under the bus! We wouldn’t want you to be seen as a patriot or anything. I mean your reputation as a spineless jellyfish needs to be preserved!!

I am new here on freerepublic and I think this is a very bad sign. Why are republican senators giving mixed signals? I don’t understand any of this now. This is insane. So much at stake with supreme court. Are they nuts?

Yeah, it is time to panic.

If 14 senators vote to confirm Obama’s nominee, it’s a done deal. Kirk, Collins, Tillis, Graham, Bill Nelson, McCain, McConnell....already half way there.
