Democrats have never felt it necessary to practice what they preach. Never and Republicans in DC have always let them get away with it.
And neither have republicans. It’s blood sport on both sides instead of merits of the matter in front of them.
While it would never happen, I wonder how the Senate would react if Obama sent a nominee that was a carbon copy of Scalia for consideration. My guess is a down vote if any movement at all.
Exactly.
Again we see there are no consistent criteria for liberals.
When it would have suited their liberal theology, they were prepared to obstruct any more Bush supreme court nominations. By any means necessary and all that.
But now that the shoe is on the other foot, those previously stated criteria are out the window. Now the criteria are that obama should be able to appoint the replacement justice even though his term of office e ends soon.
..Democrats have never felt it necessary to practice what they preach...
The rules are ALWAYS different for the Democrats. And they get away with it because nobody seems to notice. But, maybe more people are noticing lately. It’s always do what I say and not what I do.
