I am afraid your right. And we both know, they never do.
I did a quick check and it appears the GOP hasn't confirmed a nominee for SCOTUS since Scalia in 1986! They lost control of the Senate that year. There hasn't been a new member of the high court since August 1994.
I believe O'Connor was confirmed by a Republican Senate.
She was appointed in either 1981 or 1982.
And the Republicans gained the Senate when Reagan won in 1980 then lost it in 1986.
hell yes I am right, thanks
how many times have we sit and watched the repubs snatch a loss from the jaws of victory
