There is one remaining chance that the GOP grows a spine and stops this.
It will be if their donor class insists that they preserve Citizens United.
Sure as hell they won’t be doing it on OUR account.
And Cruzers wonder why Trump?
I feel shocked, betrayed.....Pubbies said they would fight Obama to the gates of Hell over this. How could they?
;^)
I hope this is just political posturing and they’ll hold the line once Obama names someone grossly partisan and unqualified. Of course, a lot of hopes with the GOP establishment are overly optimistic.
Which minority will Obama nominate for another historic first, to alienate he/she/its group from the spineless Republicans? (I should have left off spineless, since that is understood automatically.)

I don’t know about the rest of you, but I’m advising my only Republican Senator, that if the Senate and Republican party supports and votes for any Obama nominee, I’m dropping my party membership...I’m not with Trump yet, but enough is enough.
Wow,nthat was fast. I knew Republicans were in a rush to surrender but this has to be a record in the history of world civilization.
If (when) the republicans cave on this.....they will in effect cease to exist. The base will never came back.
I’ve lurked and seen Trump supporters criticizing Cruz’s lack of support among his colleagues in the Senate. The people in DC who don’t like Cruz are swift to roll over for the Democratic Party and give in without a struggle.
For years we wanted representatives that actually represent us. Isn’t that what Cruz is doing? That’s why they aren’t happy with him.
Think about where you want your representative’s loyalty to rest, Trump supporters!
Good line: Why should Obama be so concerned about what the Constitution says about appointing someone to the Supreme Court when he doesn’t want whoever he appoints to follow the Constitution anyway?
"Tell you what..since Sen Burr is going to cave and vote for ANY Scalia replacement Obama offers up (since he would also vote for Sanders over his party's own nominee)..
I'll go vote for Greg Brannon on March 15, ahead of the cave-in to Obama! And, if you succeed as the nominee, I'll go to the polls and vote for the Dem alternative too. (Just remember...as much as you hate us, the base ... we hate you more). And this is your base not the Dem Party."
They are owned by the same people who own Obama. Go Trump ! I hope if he gets elected he causes a bunch of Rino’s to lose their seats.
I look for Obama to nominate a judge that he previously nominated that made it through Senate confirmation. Then, about a week after the nomination, Obama will say Republican’s aren’t moving the nomination because he is black and his nominee is *fill in race and/or gender of nominee*.
