What are these people talking about? The 2nd amendment IS the company...and confirming this guy means it is gone.
We’ll just have to live with an 8-justice court for less than a year, 7 if necessary.
Leave it alone GOP. Leave the next nominee, for the next president.
Just leave it.
Hearings in August; vote to approve on the Friday before Labor Day weekend. If it hasn’t happened already in the months prior.
They said the same about Breyer, who has been a ninety nine percent leftist. Are we sure these people are on our side?
The compromisers are really showing themselves!
That’s exactly the Obama’s plan … throw out a softball to see if the GOPe will confirm him. Then when they don’t, he’ll appoint an even worse one during recess.
Gutless cowards!
My god given right to own the weapons of my choice are not at the whim of some anti-gun zealot.
Compared to this guy’s banner, pale pastels look like bold colors.
Agree to the thing we’re afraid might happen. OK ....
any lame-duck Obama nomination is DOA
Merrick Garland is highly likely very much against our Second Amendment.
We allowed Democrats to put “moderates on the court beofre.It might indeed be smart to confirm him if it looks like were are going to lose.But,, I wouldn’t bet were are going to lose this November not with a scandal ridden Hillary on the donk ticket..
Agree with you.
Actually it’s in the best interest of both sides to keep this hanging fire at least until after the general elections. Keeps their bases stirred up and committed to voting. IMO
Sure. Why not confirm Garland sooner? Then Obama has 5 or 6 more months to thank Ruth Bader Ginsburg for her brilliant contribution etc. and nominate a younger version to take her place making sure that the Court is 6-3, all six very left, for another generation at best. Next up, Breyer who is no kid and may want to have some time with his grandchildren and the beat goes on.
welp scratch one more ‘conservative blog’ from my list-
What the hell kind of liberal defeatist mentality is this crap from AS? IF we get a democrat president- then we’ve lost the SC anyways as that president will likely appoint a couple more SC justices as some are ready to retire- IF however a republican gets in then we’ve slit our own throats by buckling to the defeatist idiotic agenda of those declaring we should hire this judge ‘we might get something worse later IF a democrat wins’
Cripes! What the hell is wrong with ‘conservatives’ lately? Even fox news is trotting this nonsense out nonstop!
“The odds simply aren’t there that a more conservative nominee can emerge.”
Perfect example of why patriots and conservatives despise the GOPe. They’re cowards, losers and surrender monkeys. They need to be squashed like bugs.
This is the most stupid argument that I have seen made about the court.
Insure that you get a far left jurist, to prevent that you might get a far left jurist?
Insanity.
