and you trust our senators to hold together in a principled fashion? I don’t. this is not bean bag, this is serious. I am a lawyer, as is my husband. He actually was a senate jud committee staffer who worked on sup ct nominations for previous sup ct nominees, so we know a bit about the history and the process. no hearing.

Yes, it is possible that McConnell may take one last swing at us, but if he does, it’s over. He and his GOPe cohorts will be so far in the minority it will take them years to even get near a majority status.

tell the corrupt, lying, juvenile delinquent Obama to pound sand

Go pound sand would be the advise portion of the Senate's responsibility.

No Way would be the consent portion of their duties.

I’m okay with no hearing, but AFTER the nomination is made. Then we can be deeply saddened and disgusted by Obama’s poor choice of nominees.

“Any nominee at this time should consider themselves expendable.”

_______________________________________________

Great point. We may see some nominees who perceive this as their only shot at being appointed. So mostly 2nd and 3rd tier options.

Took him six months to decide on a dog. Guess this isn’t worthy of that kind of consideration.


Good point..maybe he should nominate the dog.

"The Senate will cave if for no other reason but to state their displeasure of Trump...and the People."

I have to agree. They will be in petulant child tantrum mode and chose to give Obama the seat and deny president trump.

"Yes, it is possible that McConnell may take one last swing at us, but if he does, it’s over. He and his GOPe cohorts will be so far in the minority it will take them years to even get near a majority status."

The Republicans never wanted the majority in the senate and they still don't. They knew if they got a senate majority there would be no way to keep the veil of fake Obama opposition in place. The only problem was the Dems were so bad they could not hold on to the majority. Facing a possible president trump the republicans behind the scenes will do everything they can to make sure they don't hold the majority in 2016. All they really want is a safe seat at the table and that means they need the democrats in control of the senate.
