If Obama nominated Bernie sanders or Hillary Clinton the idiot republicans would vote to confirm. They are that pathetic.

Um, they don’t care?
We hated it when they blocked or delayed our nominees and we should have the same hatred toward obstruction when we initiate it to theirs.
They keep mentioning Kennedy. That was AFTER Bork was rejected and Kennedy turned out to be a mistake.
Exactly. It’s time for the Republicans to put on their man pants, man up and do an industrial strength BORKING of any freak Obama sends up. He has less than a year left. The GOP’s “honeymoon” with Obama needs to end.
Just now, cnn had the scumbag stooge Axelrod on the air and he of course was stating that Obama now should choose a nominee for scotus now and that the Senate Must Vote! [hahaha, won’t happen scumbag Axelrod]
I remember it well. Janice Rogers Brown was another.
The GOP Senators had better find their spines or rent some because if they fail to block this nomination they will officially become the Whig Party.
The ghosts of Robert Bork and Mrs. Estrada will haunt and sit right next to the Obama nominee whoever it is throughout the hearings.
I remember what the Evil Party did to Estrada, but did not realize that Estrada’s wife had committed suicide. Terrible, but for Democrats just something else to gloat over.
The Dems actions and inactions on Estrada should be even more instructive than what they did to Bork and Justice Thomas. 28 months!!!!!
We only need 11 months unless a Dim is elected President. If that happens, it won’t matter anyway.

Conservatives, yes. Republicans, not so much.
Our hopes are with the Senate.
Yeah, me too.
Estrada was a friend of Bush’s solicitor general...Ted Cruz.
In fact, Cruz is friends with and supported the one pick Obama has mentioned as who he might appoint. Srikanth “Sri” Srinivasan.
” Cruz, who clerked with Srinivasan at the 4th Circuit Court of Appeals, quipped, “I am hopeful that our friendship will not be seen as a strike against you by some.””
Right now Obama is probably thinking of what he will use to bribe the GOP into approving his Candidate. I think he will offer a say , two-year tax cut on the wealthy, and a behind the scenes amnesty deal. The GOP will gobble it up, like the good little Traitors they are...
I am not a conspiracy theorist but Scalia’s death is too coincidental. On the other hand, he was 80.
I do not put it past Obama and his people pulling some dirty tricks to get what they want, including murder.
Obama did say in the New Year that he was no lameduck and that there would be lots of fireworks to come in 2016.
The following posting makes it clear Obama’s people had the means and opportunity to take out Scalia:

That makes me a conspiracy nut but I don’t mind. The death and its timing was just too convenient. Hopefully, the coroner acted quickly and had the latest tools available.
Do Republican Senators remember when the Democrats turned the name Bork into a verb?
Bork any nominee that Obama makes.
And what about Pickering too?
VERY good reminder.
I hadn’t forgotten all that, but it hasn’t been on my mind the past 24 hours.
It is something the democrats and their media pals need reminding of!!!
