Nope, the Senate may simply ignore any and all of Obama’s nominees which is exactly what they should do. That’s all it takes since it is the Senate who ultimately decides who gets on the Court.

To all you Trump bashers, screeching over Trump's past donations to Democrats, this is what I mean. This is why the base is revolting and why eunuchs such as Jeb Bush have crashed and burned. At least Trump was never in office where he pulled crap like this.
Trump is the result of decades of Republicans pulling this crap, working hand-in-hand with Democrats, reaching across the aisle, so the NY Times won't call them meanies. If I lived in IL, and thank God I don't, I would never give a chump like Kirk or any IL Republican my time or money.

Sen. Kirk, what a coincidence!! You will be getting a vote soon as well. Yours, however, will likely not go as well as Obama’s nominee. Not enough spineless RINO’s to save your arse.
Paging Rinse and Wash Pre-bus. Is this the GOPe not betraying us? Just curious.
To: SMGFan
Really? Why didn’t Obama have “an obligation” to vote up or down on Bush’s nominees?
Obligations, they’re not just for Republicans any more!

How many senators need to be blackmailed? If there is a vote, Obama will win it.

No, you do want him to win, because a Rep majority in the Senate is essential to keep any Dem from appointing any lib they want. Give the nominee a vote, and if the candidate is exceptional, fair and not a lib, I could see voting for him/her. If not, vote the nominee down. We will face the same issue when Ginsberg retires, but in reverse - she is a reliable lib vote, and will tip the balance. If the Reps win the Pres and the Senate, we can replace Ginsberg with a conservative and have a net gain.

Many Senate Republicans will want Obama’s pick just to “balance” a Cruz or Trump President...I really believe they are that evil.

If so, why not a year long process to a no vote?

I know they won’t have any trouble finding 14 Vichy Republicans willing to confirm.
The survival of the GOP will depend on Grassley not letting it out of committee or McConnell not letting it onto the floor.

complete and transparent release of all requested information
That is the kicker. When did this administration ever release any requested information? Senator Kirk can hang that around their neck every second of every day, smiling at the cameras and saying we want to vote, but they will not give us the documents.

Just called and said I will either vote for a primary candidate or leave blank. Phooey!!!
To: SMGFan
He is simply the most endangered Republican Senator running a hard reelection in a hopelessly blue state. He is the best we will get out of the Prairie state so their is no point in fraggin him. there are certainly enough GOP Senators to stop a nomination with out him and the usual McCain Graham Ryan continuum. My only fear is that the Donks will come up with some plan to give corporate handouts to the GOPE establishment and then we could see what traitors they are, but, with the revolution going on in the Presidential race I do not think they would dare.

Hatch (R-UT) will soon be demanding a vote for Obama’s choice, and will be joined by McCain, Collins, and Graham.
