Don’t the GOP always cave? It is just a matter of time until they do.

You are right on all fronts. At least I hope they make him go through at least 3 candidates before giving the ok. At least get back for the Bork thing.

Obama has ignored the Constitution for 7 years and now he tells us what the Constitution says? Just say no.

Convoluted? Yes. Is he right about Senate voting. Yes.

And they’d better vote for the American people and not just give this guy a pass that would be a legacy of Constitutional shredding.

>>”I hope that no one will use this sad news to suggest that the President or the Senate should not perform its constitutional duty,”

He hasn’t done his duty since Day 1. And since he isn’t impeached for F&F and Benghazi, Congress isn’t doing theirs either. So why worry about starting now?

At that point in time, the Democrats controlled both Houses of Congress. They did not need them.

"The President can and should send the Senate a nominee right away," Senate Minority Leader Harry Reid said on Twitter. "The Senate has a responsibility to fill vacancies as soon as possible."

Saw libs online today saying that it was wrong for Reagan to nominate a justice in 1986 because it was an "election year". Well every 2 years is by that measure. They also took him to task for going through the approval of a nominee in 1988. Of course he'd BEEN nominating candidates since 1987 and the Democrat Senate kept voting them down.

Facts and history don't matter to the Stalinist Left.

What if Obama nominates Ted Cruz? Would Cruz decline the nomination? Would the senate confirm him if he accepted?

Regardless of whom, the Senate would never confirm him!

Shut the hell up, you misbegotten cur. Crawl back under the fly-ridden pile of fresh manure which is your natural habitat--and don't track any of it on the White House floor.
