Republicans should demand that Obama nominate an Italian Catholic to "Scalia's" seat, and see what Obama does!

Be careful what you wish for. I know some Italian Catholics who are to the left of Fidel Castro.

BLM and War On Women. That just fits the Democrat MO too well.

During the period from mid-August to November there are 3 possibilities...

1.) The press and the people are 100% focused on the upcoming election and the merits of the individuals running.

2.) The press and the people are 25% focused on why those damned obstructionist Republicans won't bring Lynch's nomination up in the Senate and 75% on the upcoming election.

3.) The press and the people are 25% focused on the upcoming election and 75% focused on how those racist, misogynist, 1 percenter, old rich white men are being so mean to that poor sweet Loretta Lynch. Day after day after day in her confirmation hearings they just keep dragging her through the mud for the whole country to see.

It’s going to be really tough to explain why 56 of them voted to confirm Lynch at AG but won’t confirm her to SCOTUS.

Sure, but let's see Obama nominate one.

Obama spoke to Grassley Friday morning, after he co-authored an op-ed with McConnell in The Washington Post reiterating their stance the next president, and not Obama, should pick a replacement for the conservative jurist.

Obama can't read I guess. Maybe Josh should read it to him.

...just shows that all(or most)are compromised in one way or another.

That's politics....(sleaze factory).

...too bad the majority of the people in the country have shown their OWN weakness... by not showing this POS (commie)community agitator/shake-down artist Alinsky f^%k the door long ago.

The Founders are spinning in their graves, so too those that sacrificed all.

...there's definitely enough blame/shame to go around.

seems pretty simple to me...

1.) AG is different than SCJ
2.) Her record as AG has been terrible.

Stand fast Sen. McConnell, our Republic is on the line.

If that is what your are relying on, I'd suggest your start packing for New Zeeland.

The call has been placed and both have been reminded of their obligations to the crown. I predict pissing and moaning, hearings and a vote and our good Republican senators we had to have in control will administer the coup-de-gras to the Republic and usher in a second shooting civil war.

The call was a threat. If you don’t confirm, then I won’t sign anything and your eek ass party won’t overturn any vetoes.

He’s not signing anything the Congress sends him anyhow.

If it was a threat it was to reveal some juicy little goodies the NSA had managed to cull from their phones.

I don't understand why you're saying they're being chicken.

From the letter:
So the American people have a particular opportunity now to make their voice heard in the selection...we believe that the American people should seize the opportunity to weigh in on whom they trust to nominate the next person for a lifetime appointment to the Supreme Court.

Sounds to me like they are trying to carve out a basis for later saying, "An overwhelming number of voters weighed in and urged the Committee to hold hearings and forward the matter to the floor."

He gives bare lip service to the fact that the American voter filled both legislative branches with R's in an effort to defeat O's so far successful attempt to remake our nation.

I say, let Obama nominate; just don’t confirm any of his looney radical leftist nominees.
