    things getting personal in relation to the thread is understandable...following someone around constantly harassing them about unrelated topics is annoying af. Drop it already halifax...and all the other JC haters.

    Come again? A tie to Comet Pizza isn't dirt? I would hope our SCOTUS nominees are vetted as thoroughly as our potential immigrants?

    Hate is a strong word. I reserve it for Patriots haters.

    It should also be noted that confirming circuit and district judges on "up or down" votes was a fairly simple process. For some reason that changed after 2009.

    You know that if the Dems would have had the majority they would have used the nuclear option so there's no reason the repubs will wait this out and risk losing their shot. The dems are the ones who set the stage for this to happen. It's just ironic now that the situation is flipped how repubs will whine about dems holding up the process.
    It's a hopeless situation...

    I'm not so sure, what are politicians only interested in? RE-ELECTION
    Red state Dem senators are walking a tight rope with 2018 right around the corner. If they think for a second that stalling or down voting could hurt their re-election bid, they will pledge their support 2 hours ago. Reports are some Dems already have.

    This is what your fundamentalist Christian friends who voted for trump have been waiting for. They made a great moral compromise to cast a vote for trump, and now he's fulfilled their prayers. It's about abortion for them, or so they say. I'm sure trump had his more subtle appeal to them, but now they can go to church Sunday and feel at peace about electing a sex offender for a president.

    And he has known it all along.

    "You'll vote for me because you want the judges" or so something along those lines

    Without knowing dick shit about the scotus nominees positions I'm fairly certain any and all trumps picks will be disastrous. That and trumps affection for Israel were my only real concerns with him being president.
    Reading that gorsuch is Scalia 2.0 is all I need to know.
    I'm not sure how Senate democrats can leverage their vote when they confirmed him in 2006 for the circuit.

    Those were you're only concerns? I'll give you credit, at least you had some concerns

    So turning that around...If requiring IDs is an assault on voters rights, wouldn't that also make it an assault on gun owner rights? I'm good with requiring a person to show IDs for both to prove citizenship actually...

    I don't think the next SCOTUS nominee should be confirmed until the American voters have had their say in the next election.

    The "Biden Rule".

    I have a faint memory of the name Biden and piggybacking legislation...don't recall where I heard that.

    So if the tables had been turned and it was Trump's final months in office and he was going to try to hurry and appoint the next SCOTUS...would the Democrats have sat back and said "go right ahead"? I'm willing to bet they would have fought tooth and nail.

    your last sentence was a point I read about yesterday. I think it was Ted Cruz that made it. it's hilarious though how he's bitching and moaning about dem's making this political by blocking whomever is nominated, when he was the one who stated that he'd block anyone who hillary nominated if she won. so much fucking hypocrisy.

    I don't know that it is hurrying to nominate someone 11 months before you are out of office. Kennedy wasn't confirmed until February of Reagan's last year in office. Should they have blocked his hearing after the first nominee wasn't confirmed the previous fall? Several presidents have had nominees confirmed with little over a year to go, but now it's an issue.

    If it had been September or October, I think you'd have a case for hurrying, but basically what is being pushed here is that no president should ever be allowed to nominate at any time during their last year in office, which seems pretty stupid.
    It's a hopeless situation...

    Hypocrisy and the same recycled tic for tac BS year after year election after election. It boggles my mind how voters get behind these clowns.
    Like I said, today, democrats should be beating down the doors of their constituents who voted to affirm trump nominees, they should be calling for Pelosis head after stupid remark after stupid remark last night. It doesn't happen so the bs and hypocrisy will continue.
