It’s hard to listen to the arguments on Judge Merrick..
I have a Bork in my ear.
The guy is a shoe in. GOPe only has lies.
AllahPundit wastes an awful lot of words to say nothing except repeat Twitter and Facebook pronouncements from ignoramuses.
I can think of 5 RINOs without breaking a sweat who would confirm if there’s a vote.
All based on supposition.
That piece PERFECTLY illustrates why we have come to hate the D.C. Establishment with a white-hot seething hatred.
Really need the “Conservative” media to stop pretending they have a magic crystal ball and know what will happen in the remaining primaries and in Nov.
This habit they have of stating their emotion based opinions as if they were fact is irrational.
Merrick is definitely anti-gun. Just read some of his opinions.
This is a good test for Trump to see if he supports his nomination or not.
Allah pundit is usually an idiot.
He is right on this, at least in terms of the thinking of the R’s and D’s.
If they don’t confirm this guy, they will get a crazy über lefty nominee after Hillary wins.
But, that’s assuming the R’s lose the Senate. If they still have the Senate they don’t have to confirm anyone.
Or they know even with a majority they will fold to Hillsry.
AllahPundit is a nasty liberal
“Crafty of O to wait until the morning after Trump’s backbreaking wins last night to stick McConnell with this. Now Senate Republicans will face maximum pressure from both sides. If they cave and decide to give Garland a hearing after all”
Ridiculous. A hearing could stretch all the way through the elections and end up with a no vote. We could hammer this for months when we need the press the most. Obama was only crafty in knowing we would jump on the chance to be tough guys and end up looking like the “obstructionist part” which will feed right into their campaign. This tactic is absurd. A hearing does not equal an appointment. Let’s Bork the SOB. It took over a year for that horror show. THAT would be getting even.
December 19, 2001 The American Prospect listed him as a “First Tier” pick for SCOTUS should Al Gore be President

He’s a gun grabber.

the little weasels in congress will confirm him after the elcetion but before the next inaguration...
The GOP has 24 of the 36 Senate seats up for election in 2016. The Dims only need to win 4 for a tie and 5 to take control of the Senate. Something like 8 of those seats are in states that voted for Obama both times. From now to the election the Dims are going to hammer the do nothing GOP Senate that wont even take up the nominee that just last week the Judiciary Committee's Orin Hatch praised.
It might play well on FR and in solid Red states to delay delay delay but in those other 8 states not so much. On Nov 9th Chuckie Schumer could very well wake up as the next majority and Pat Leahy as Chairman of the Judiciary committee.
At that point the GOP will be desperate to push this guy through and the Dims in the Senate will stop them so that they can assure Scalia’s replacement will be much more liberal than this guy no matter who is elected president.
Hillary will lose.
She’s about as likeable as a cornered rattlesnake.
Tell Obama and his boy to go pound sand.
I have absolutely no confidence in the Senate’s pledge to not hold hearings. I fully expect that they will not only hold hearing but that they will approve the nomination.
If, on the other hand, McConnell stands firm,.....Thank you. I needed a laugh today.
