**Sen. Jeff Merkley (D-Ore.)**
You have no idea how I want to vote Merkley out of office!

Merkley is a dumb democrat, though.
Courts have NO jurisdiction. None.
If he’s announcing he’s seeking an injunction, it probably means the court did not give him a preliminary injunction, which ordinarilly can be gotten ex parte with the boiler plate language: “sufficient cause appearing therefore, let the respondent appear and show cause why he should not....blahblah...and in the interim let him be enjoined from...blahblah.
No enjoining in the interim, I’d guess.
Article I Section 5 Clause 2 says: "Each House may determine the Rules of its Proceedings..."
How the Judiciary Committee or Senate as a whole operates is at the discretion of the Senate's Article I Section 5 power. No court can hand down an injunction blocking a Senate procedure.
Only the Senate Parliamentarian can advise on the operating rules of the Senate, and the presiding officer can overrule the Parliamentarian. The courts have no say in the proceedings in Congress.
-PJ
He is not being prevented in exercising his ability at all.
He is free to vote on the nomination and will undoubtedly vote "Nay".
Next thing you know they will want liberal “judges’ to gather together and tell us who our new president is, instead of having elections......
This DemWittery explains the desperate Dems view of the courts. That’s their “Star Chamber”... to RULE not GOVERN! When they lose that they’re done. Their only hope then is GOPers do something stupid...
OMG!!! It could happen.
The SC is 4-4. this could be trouble if he gets the right Judge. The rats achieved their first objective. We now have a powerless SC. Ultimately there would no court to overrule what is clearly an improper injunction.
Except the court of you know they lack jurisdiction, so you invite them to have sexual intercourse with themselves.
Shows Merkley never read the Constitution’s describing separation of powers.
It will be no trouble. Trump & the congress ignore and impeach the “Judge”. Separation of powers.
can we find judges who will light these on fire and laugh or will it go to hawaii. This is where McConnell’s balls have to be inflated and claim what is the senate’s perogative just as Trump should have done on borders and national security
Nowhere in the Constitution is it stated that the courts have the right to block a Supreme Court nominee.
I think Trump should do that next time- but he always gives them enough rope to hang themselves.
But now that he has some decisions in his favor he can cite them next time when he says “I’m ignoring you, You can decide individual cases, but you can’t run the presidency”
I guess Merkley can now amend his lawsuit to ask that the judge issue an injunction against the Supreme Court to stop it from meeting or hearing cases as long as Kavanaugh is on the bench. It would make as much sense as this filing against the Senate.
