Loretta Lynch. Would such as Mitch McConnell dare oppose her and be called racist and sexist.

I will take everything bad I said about McConnell if he prevails here. Nothing else matters, period.

We’ve got your back, Mitch!

This nomination needs to be rejected out of hand. Obama cannot be allowed to appoint Scalia’s replacement.

The question is whether Donald Trump will try to broker a deal between McConnell and Obama by the terms of which McConnell agrees to an appointee who will rule against Cruz on natural birth citizenship.

McConnell will go for the deal because he, like Trump, is a dealmaker with the other side and he knows he will be able to cut deals with Trump but not with Cruz and Obama will go for the deal because he will get a leftist judge and Obama knows that Trump will be more easily beaten than Cruz in the general election.

Funny how a real emergency turns all these petty battles to the dust they deserve to be?

Well, that was unexpected.

It will be interesting to see what 0bama thinks he'll be able to get away with with regard to a nominee. Someone whose rejection will be able to be used as political fodder, no doubt - a minority woman or an openly gay candidate might be just the ticket. He understands it isn't likely that any nominee of his will be confirmed, so the sky is the limit. It could backfire, of course, but if you own the press as he does it won't.

I don’t care what the media does. This is the hill to die on. We need to fight this one to the death. Literally if necessary.

Of course he will.

What’s Obama’s record when it comes to showdowns with Republicans in Congress?

I’m not sure, but I think he’s undefeated.

Sucks.

Are we looking at our idols’ halos or are we trying to figure out what will really happen?

I see no reason that Trump would not make mince meat out of either Hillary, OR Bernie. I’d be afraid of Cruz trying something too clever by half, once more.

We are in such evil times as these and I could see this happening.

That’s a big 10-4 good buddy. If Mitch redeems himself with standing firm I forgive a lot.

Well it’s time that the worms turn on him.

Prayer, big time prayer, that a court disaster will be headed off, even if the screams from Barack reach to Pluto.

Frankly since he throws tantrums anyhow, why not just ignore them and let him do it.

It would be great if Trump then began to chime in. Reduce that little petty piece of **** to lawn fertilizer, so to speak.

The Media flying monkeys get paid HUGE salaries for a reason.

They're going to light us up like the Russians lit up Berlin before the final assault in 1945.

It's going to get INSANE.

He’ll probably name somebody on Monday.

Grahamnesty, McCain, Collins, Hatch, Kirk, Corker, Alexander, Ayotte and the rest of the RINO herd will fall all over themselves approving whatever leftist he appoints.
