Have to agree with you on that one - Republicans in Congress have been made impotent, by the black arab man.
The author’s underlying premise here is flawed. The Republican Party would never filibuster a Supreme Court nominee named by Barack Obama ... even if Osama bin Laden was the nominee.
Well there are several Republican parties. I gather you’re talking about the one infested by John Cornyn, Marco Rubio, Mitch McConnell, John McCain, Mitt Romney, John Boehner and that lot, right?
I would hope Republicans would filibuster Larry Tribe! The author actually was hopeful of being nominated at one time.
Talk about divisive! His tone in this article is evenly measured given his deep-seated ideological leanings.

“The author’s underlying premise here is flawed. The Republican Party would never filibuster a Supreme Court nominee named by Barack Obama ... even if Osama bin Laden was the nominee.”
After some perfunctory objections and weeks of anti-Repub bashing by the media even a Repub majority in the senate would approve whatever psychotic leftist Ob@st@rd nominated.
And the Democrats would use empty Supreme Court seats as a bludgeon. “The Republicans won’t do their duty!” and “Vote for us or the Republicans will pack the Court!” will be their battle cries.
And they’ll pull out all stops on the vote fraud front - a decisively Constitutionalist majority on the SCOTUS might be a disaster for them.
Precisely why McConnell has to go!
Agreed. With RINOs like McCain and Graham, filibusters will fail.
