Hold hearings, ask questions which will disqualify them from consideration, vote “NO” on them, kick them to the curb, repeat and rinse.
See, we are doing our job.
Better idea: DON’T hold hearings, tell that simpering sodomite in the White Hut to pound sand, and carry on with the legitimate business of the Senate.
Which is the way it should be. Let the process go forward because we know Obama will not nominate anyone close to considerable when it comes to a Constitutionalist.
IMO, when they came out on that stage and said he should not be allowed to even present someone or have hearings, they just pulled the triggers on both barrels right into their feet. Don’t stand there and blabber all about supporting strict Constitutionalism and in the next breath subverting it as a sure sign you will do it only when convenient.
This is what those people are telling their adversaries who will in turn use their hypocrisy against them and have weight for their argument.
“Hold hearings, ask questions which will disqualify them from consideration, vote “NO†on them, kick them to the curb, repeat and rinse.”
They know themselves all too well, that they are easily tempted. They know that once the democrats start presenting potential replacements, that sooner, or maybe later, one of the liberal activist judges will have a larger vocabulary than them, using big words they do not understand, a tear inducing ‘victim’ story, a long long list of accomplishments completely unrelated to constitutional law, but the clincher will be when that nominee pulls out a sparkling pretty little bag covered in shiny things, dangles it before the republican committee members and says “If you approve me, I’ll allow you put your testicles in this pretty little bag so that I can keep them safe, and protect them for you! And if you’ve already lost your testicles, you can just put a couple marbles in here and we’ll pretend! Your secret will be safe with me!” Once those republicans quit drooling and patting each other on the back for success at being so wise as to keep their testicles safe with an actual Supreme Court Justice, one of them will wake up and exclaim “Darn it boys! We were duped again! We fell for the shiny little sparkly bag trick again! And now if we say anything, our testicles will get thrown into the garbage disposal, or worse, be used as play things for the cats!” Yes, they know better than to allow themselves to be tempted, but it won’t last long.
