Thanks a lot, straight white guys, for putting the rest of us at risk.

    Oops, sock fail!   Forgot which sock you were posting under, huh?   So, you not only post under multiple socks, but you actually use them to defend your own moronic posts, to make people think that ot

duh, the power dynamic of survival mandates following politically establish 'rules', but that's beside the point. 

I voted for Hillary. Didn't like it but I did. Most of us on here were in the same boat I was -- Texans, whose vote meant little, although her somewhat surprisingly decent showing was encouraging, I guess. She wasn't going to win Texas even if every SJW in Austin voted three times and every voter in the Valley voted five times.

So kindly please spare the rants against Texans who voted for Stein or Johnson. It really didn't make a shit. Take those diatribes over to Michigan, Wisconsin and PA boards.

Only hope is Mueller files indictments that implicates Trump before Congress can confirm.

Why would Flake go against a Republican nomination? He may dislike Trump but putting another Gorsuch on the court would be completely aligned with his political background.

 

Trump will get his nominee. He's a scorched earth President. No one in his party will go against him unless he nominates a complete clown.

If I see any Stein or Johnson voters who "just couldn't stomach voting for Hillary," or Bernie Bros. who sat out like pissy little babies, I'm going to kick them all in the crotch.

In Wisconsin, Michigan, and Pennsylvania, right?

The good news is there won't be a vote before the election.

Every single bit of business in the Senate is going to come to a screeching halt from here to November.

Prove it.

McConnell has every incentive to get this confirmation through committee and onto the floor yesterday.  And the Democrats can't stop it.

At the rate your party is going I’m sure Stephen Miller is looking for a loophole in the emancipation proclamation. It’s what y’all want.

Everybody give a big shoutout to Vladimir Putin, James Comey, the Trump supporters in FBI's NYFO, everyone who got fooled into hating Hillary Clinton, everyone who underestimated the efficacy of Russian propaganda, Glenn Greenwald, Cynthia Nixon, Susan Sarandon, & Jill Stein!

The American people should have a voice in the selection of their next Supreme Court Justice. Therefore, this vacancy should not be filled until we have a new President.

Anyone got the list of 25 options?

What reddit forum did you copy and paste this from?  You should give the proper attribution.

Yeah, Mitch McConnell is a genuine super-villain.  

I wonder if Ruthie will say, "Doeifw dsofiewm dmbsjev dsoewi8he sdifjn!!"

which is 85-y.o. speak for "Well if THAT motherfucker's leaving, I can't hold the ship any longer.  I'm da fuq outtahere myself now!!"

Strange days, indeed [/JohnLennon]

Well, now, clearly Kennedy decided there wasn't going to be enough hatred, bitterness, and animosity in this upcoming election, so he  decided to turn it up a notch. Holy cow, this is going to be a war.

Ol' TurtleNeck gonna act like the Republic depends on getting this one through immediately!

Funny shit.

Garland, less than 8 months before the presidential election.

Kennedy's replacement, will be more than 27 months.

He's leaving at the end of July. There won't be a ninth justice before the end of the year.

Or Trump nominates Bush's equivalent of Harriet Miers and Republicans reject them. I don't have faith that Republicans will reject any nomination even if completely unqualified.

So where do you draw the line then?   10 months?  16 months? Whatever works best for you?

I believe what he's trying to say is "Do as I say, not as I do."

The Senate couldn't even get the nominee a confirmation hearing in 9 months times a couple of years ago? what make you think they can actually confirm one  in 4 months now?

 

oh.

MM's logic is "the American people spoke in 2016 and elected Trump." The only voice that matters, per Republicans, is the guy in office.  Since Trump isn't up for re-election, they can do what they want.

Besides, it's not like Congress has ever "spoken" for anyone, or cared what "we the people" think.

Trump's going to want something from the Rs in exchange for another Gorsuch.

Just when you thought that it was impossible to ratchet up the hysteria any further, life finds a way.

Don't forget individuals will be further under thumb of corporations ('cause they're people dontcha know).  There will be no relief for the common man.

It's going to be great. This is exactly what the left needed.

November is going to be even better than originally expected.

There will be.

MM already canceled August recess.  I guarantee we will know the name within 2 weeks and a vote will happen by August/September.

we had a strict conservative in scalia. i don't think we really know what gorsuch will do in the next ruling or 5 years from now. we always knew trump was getting 2-3 justices, because of scalia, and the general age of the justices.

and i'm a weirdo, but i prefer a conservative supreme court. what i worry about is that pendulum swinging into a rubber stamp. i happen to hope that the justices on the surpreme court aren't overly activist, however, and i hope that decisions will continue to be balanced.

a cynic is only a frustrated optimist, after all.

Yeah, and Obama nominated Garland 8 months before the election.  Let's not give Mitch any leeway here whatsoever.
