Schumer kept promising Boehner would pass the amnesty bill by the end of the month.

He/she is blogger for that HotAir. He/she typically blogs and runs and hides never engaging the dwindling posters at HotAir. That site has jumped the shark

There should be hearings held. Any candidate that will try the Hildabeast should be considered. Next year.

Keeping ideological hacks off the bench is their job.

I'm interested too. I collect spores, molds, and fungus.

So what would be the actual effect of leaving Scalia’s seat open until next year?

Every decision that would have been a 5 to 4 win for the liberal wing of the Court will instead be a 5 to 3 win for the liberal wing of the Court. The only cases that will be affected are those that would have been a 5 to 4 win for the conservative wing of the Court. Those cases will now be deadlocked 4 to 4.

The effect of a deadlock is that court of appeals decision will stand. So the only cases that will actually be affected are those in which a 5 to 4 conservative majority would have overturned the court of appeals decision. No other cases will be affected one way or the other. Those few cases can always be reheard next term.

What this is really about is that liberals are giddy with excitement over the sudden unexpected opportunity to flip decisions that would have been 5 to 4 wins for the conservative wing into 5 to 4 wins for the liberal wing. Well there are still three 80 year old Justices left on the Court. So whether Scalia’s seat is filled this year or not, the next President is going to determine the direction of the Supreme Court for the next 30 years.

In the immortal words of Joe Biden, “once the political season is underway — and it is — action on a Supreme Court nomination must be put off until after the election campaign is over. That is what is fair to the nominee and essential to the process.”

Look, the only “job” that Schumer is talking about is continuing his egomaniacal, leftist political and psychological blow job on the American people.

Schumer is a “power fanatic” so he has only one goal - to get as much power as possible while denying it to the American people.

In other words, he’s a dictator-in-training. Always was, always will be.

America be damned, he’s got a “job” to do on them.

I knew that. The site is run by Ed Morrissey, a frequent guest host for Hugh "the lame" Hewitt. And I only say that with regard to Hugh's utter contempt for his producer Duane Patterson, who continues to battle cancer. The Lame was laughing on air about how Duane had his thymus removed recently. This is funny? The Lame has no concept for respect and humility, this despite his claim of being a "Christian." Sorry to belabor this but this really grates on me, and I am sure on Duane, but Duane deserves better than belittlement, condescension, and denigration by the lofty rino Hewitt.

I believe Salem owns Hot Air, but I may be wrong on that.

It’s Fungi and FR covers for us, requires it “Kaslin.” Townhall has real people and most use their real name. Does Allahpundit have something to hide?

Don’t you love the hypocrisy? All we’ve heard from the dems in congress is the republicans are wasting everyone’s time holding obamacare repeal votes, because they would never pass or be vetoed by the president. So stop wasting time. Well, isn’t this the same concept? Why waste time with a hearing if we know republican’s will vote in unison against it. The president’s nominees will never make it to the bench. What’s good for the goose is good for the gander.

How about trying to spin his own words, too?

Take the nomination, hang it up in committee for a while, hold debate.
Bork, Bork, Bork...
Vote it down.

Repeat as necessary.
