Do they castrate these guys when they become Senators?

By not getting a vote he IS getting a vote.
By the way, since when did the NY SLIMES give a damn about what Tom Coburn thinks?

If the wicked witch wins in November we are going to really regret not confirming this guy. There is not a snowball’s chance in the hot stinky bad place that she who must not be named will send anyone other than a flaming leftist.

This is a very high risk gamble we are taking.

Because Garland isn’t a flaming leftist?

No, he isn’t. If you think he is, wait until January 21 2017. He is not someone I would have chosen, but he is not a legal nut job. That I am afraid is what we are going to get.

He’s a gun control wackjob.

Do you honestly think any of Obama’s other picks are ‘more conservative’?

Not at all, which is kinda my point. This guy is as close to conservative as we are going to get from Zero. And if the witch wins in November then we are going to see how bad it can really get.

Who gives a shit what he wants?

He's jonesin' for a fresh kumbaya slot on Morning Joe in order to show off his latest designer spectacles and his new pablum-stained merkin beard.

No greater self-important phony in all of D.C., now or back when he could actually damage us with such votes.

The translucent ribbon apparently signifies unity with trannies of all stripes and castrated dipsticks in general.

Kill a himan?

Me, I'll stick with the old tried-n-tested manner if the opportunity (not likely) ever presents itself again.

p.s. You know, it doesn't exactly, um, die...just 'cause there's a little blood....

He’s not conservative.

You’re picking at threads.

We have enough problem with ‘conservative’ justices picked by Republicans. NO democrat will pick ANYone who believes in ANY of the BOR as written.

Once this guy is approved he’ll be there for 2 generations. We can’t afford that.

This isn’t a plea bargain.

And I want it done by somebody we can trust with no leftist political bent.

Those people do not have jobs any longer.

Boy, you got that right.

It’s too late on Scalia anyways, now. As I found out upstream.
