The ‘rats have a peculiar definition of “mainstream” — it requires slavish devotion to libtard propaganda.
I almost feel bad for this moron. He has to ensure that donations keep flowing into the DNC and its political campaign coffers, even if it means taking indefensible positions where he’s sure to come out on the losing end anyway.
Chuckie never acknowledges that the “ Biden rule” is what sunk Garlands nomination
Another DEMOCRAT rule that blew up,in their smug faces
Ha ha
The Democrats openly said in the final years of the last two Republican Presidents that they should not be allowed to fill any vacancies on the Court...but now pretend that Scalia's seat was stolen from Obama because McConnell would not allow a vote last year. They are counting on most people not remembering the past. Garland would have represented a significant shift to the left (5 hard-line leftists on the Court) whereas Gorsuch is merely preserving the previous balance (and perhaps not as firmly as Scalia would have).
Nope. Schumer is a liar; like we didn’t already know that. Nope. He’s still pissed ‘cause Garland was never brought up for a vote based on rules his party made in the 90’s.
It wasn't in March. By the time all the "get acquainted" meetings with the Senators and committee hearings were finished ( and the Senate was back in session from their various breaks ), it would have been July before it came to a vote. That would have put it in the middle of the election.
>>.It was a bar met by each of [former President] Obama’s nominations. Each received 60 votes.<<
And there you have it!
We play fair and approve qualified but ideologically devoted leftists like Kagan and Sotomayor and the dems, instead of following our example and playing by the agreed upon rules, they use our honesty against us!
We are such suckers. It’s sometimes embarrassing even being on this team.
When in the heck are we ever going to start to fight? I mean really, really fight?
Again. These a$$hats never expected to lose the election. Now that the tables are turned, we must go back to “fairness”. KMA all you traitorous RATS!!
Schumer got out of college and immediately ran for office - he won. That pr!ck has NEVER had a job working under the laws his fellow idiots in Congress have passed. He is a man of ZERO personal real world experience but he has enormously unearned but outsized influence.
Setting a trap maybe: Chuck Schumer playing politics by laying a trap for President Trump. Schumer could just be releasing enough Dems to carry cloture, securing a future “precedent” for no nuke option.
Oh dear, please tell me the Republicans aren’t going to fall for this again.
Let’s all work together? That’s code for give us everything we want and then some.
I don’t care what a judge’s personal beliefs are. As long as he rules according to the LAW. Not feelings. Not preferred outcome. Just the law.
I’d still like to know more about how Justice Scalia died which created the opening for the rats to name someone.
Remember that this high and mighty schmuck is “The Weiner’s” mentor .... yep, his protégé Weiner!
Regarding this weasel statement: "It wasn't in the middle of an election campaign, it was March."
If I'm remembering correctly, the rule says no Supreme Court appointments during an election year, NOT in the middle of an election campaign.
But bottom line, we should not even attempt to argue with any of them.
Simply remind them of what they said and throw it back in their faces:
WE WON ... YOU LOST!!!
We should have fought his picks tooth and nail. We were fools playing "by the rules"... Our next pick should be a Conservative who thinks the Constitution is a living breathing vehicle FOR Conservative Change in the Country.
I'm tired of being 'above it all' while Democrats kick us in the groin. They want to fight dirty? Fine. We should do the same.
He doesn’t need a reason. He’s an a**hole.
is this man nuts? How many primaries had already been held by that point?
And Gorsuch is very much a mainstream nominee - that's the problem Schumer has with him - he'll be a judge, not a liberal legislator pretending to be a judge.
I still believe the Obama folks poisoned Justice Scalia.
