But it’s the Reps who get blamed for partisanship. The only answer is to use the power when you have it to stuff it to the Dems where the sun doesn’t shine.

Yeah, do your jobs. If you think ACB should not be confirmed, vote no, and if you think it is OK to fill DRBG”s seat on the SC vote Yes.

D is for Democrat not Dead.

All Mitch has to do is tell the chamber that there are no rules for the hearings for new members. If she is going to be treated like Thomas, Bork, or Kavenaugh, or if there are any outburst from the dnc monkeys like code pink, all talk is over and it immediately goes to the floor vote.

“Towards the brink of what?”

It is rude to apply logic and common sense to this woman’s article. You are supposed to play along and clutch your pearls. It will make her feel better.

Here is what the Senate needs to do:

1. No hearings. None. Witness what they did to Judge Kavanaugh. Hearings are nothing but an opportunity for the Left to throw a tantrum and to smear the nominee.


2. Schedule a Senate floor vote.

3. Hold the floor vote.

The brink of what?

a lack of decorum?

a breach of collegiality?

They abdicated to the SCOTUS a long time ago.

And, Chuckie, name the Republican Senators who are brining shame and dishonor to the US Senate?

IMHO, ALL 47 Democrats are!

Exactly. There are many elected Republicans who are just as dirty and shady as the RATS, but they don’t hate the country the way the other side does. They will choose judges, for the most part, who adhere to the Constitution. If Judge Barrett ends up being another Roberts or a Souter that’s on her. However she rules on the High Court she’s still far better than an activist jurist as RBG was!

Roger that.

99% of the country would love to have their jobs. They do nothing but debate, they never make decisions, they get paid big bucks and have loads of benefits and only do it for a few months a year. What's not to like?

I get tired of hearing these politicians telling us how hard they have it.

It is a tweet from Don Trump Jr. of a funny video. Maybe try clicking again, it might work. I see it is still up
