Well, that didn’t take long.
Explain to me again why we have an opposition party.
We MUST stop this NOW.
FORWARD. MARCH !
Get on the phones, email, threaten, cry, ...
THIS IS THE HILL TO DIE ON !
There’s nothing wrong with being open to a hearing. Schedule it between election day and thanksgiving when things calm down.
No, this isn’t a cave. It is called “going through the motions.”
Let Valerie send her nominee up. Hold two months of hearings, then vote them down.
Lather, rinse, repeat.
Until February 2017, when President (Carson, Cruz, Rubio, Trump) can send their nominee.
I just saw the President on the Tv where he basically just said he is going to nominate someone and there will be a vote and the person will be confirmed. He also said he need not do a recess appointment because as he state previously he will nominate someone and they will be approved.
He is getting his nominee come hell or high water.
He is a despicable person.
Did someone pass along a message to Grassley that it would be a shame if he was found at room temperature with a pillow lying on his face?
This is a mistake. The message needs to be very simple. The american people will be de facto appointing the next supreme court justice in november and there will be no compromise by republicans on this crucial duty of democracy. Therefore we will take no action to advance any nominee for the position forwarded to us by obama in any way.
Any other approach leaves us open to political attack that we are only refusing to approve a nominee because she’s a female or a black or a mexican or a transgender or an asian or whatever. Make our position very clear right now, before there is even a nominee, that it doesn’t matter who or what obama suggests, it’s simply not happening till the next president.

I hope his fingers were crossed when he said it.
They are beginning the process of bending over to pick up the soap...
Don’t these gop-e degenerates know how to obstruct? What complicit fools.
If Hillary wins and the Democrats take back the Senate then Obama's nominee is probably no worse than what will get crammed down in January. Otherwise, vote the nominee down on a party line vote and let President Trump or Cruz pick a new nominee.
Don’t sell us out, Grassley.

This CANNOT happen!
The Republicans keep playing defense instead of offense. Stack the Court with more members. 9 is not a magic number. More Justices will dilute the individual votes.
