If the buffoons in the Senate can agree to Kagen and Sotomayor, I can’t see how any of them could have a problem with anyone President Trump nominates.

They should be powerless to stop any cabinet nominees too, but here we with fewer of Trump’s confirmed than Obama’s at this point.

Republicans, hello? Wake up! Your President & the American people are waiting......

This only works if McConnell is willing to change the rule. Trump can’t do it. And he has all but said he won’t do that. So as it stands the Dems CAN ABSOLUTLEY block a Supreme Court nomination with the filibuster.

Well, if you try to obstruct my nominee, I will have no choice but to follow the precedent you set and apply those very same rules to Supreme Court nominees – which means we can confirm my nominee with Republican votes alone

Off the top of my head, since the executive and the senate are two different branches of Govt. I doubt any President can make up the Senate rules of how to approve Supreme Court appointees. -Tom

It would be embarrassing to McConnell if Trump had to do recess appointments. Now, the turkey McConnell won’t go that low and prevent a recess?

I’d rather have a good recess appointment than another Souter.

Democrats are so used to being able to say something and have it be true. Nobody stood up to them before and now it’s showtime. Go Trump!

Keep praying everyone that President Trump is seeking God’s nominee. We all need to remember just Who is in charge of everything; and to select someone (male or female)based on their ability to be wise in the ways of the Lord should be the first and foremost qualification for that position.

In my opinion, conservatives, Republicans and libertarians should hold ground and NOT give in while the fervent energy is present.
Take advantage of this energy and recreate the Constitutional Republic, which we are.
All this talk about a democracy is nonsense for a reason.
Democracy is two wolves and one sheep deciding what’s for dinner.
