"The seat that is sitting empty is being stolen. It's being stolen from the Obama administration and the construct of our Constitution and it's being delivered to an administration that has no right to fill it," Merkley said.
.
.
.
When pressed on his answer further, Merkley said he thought any nominee put forward by the president-elect in the next administration would be "illegitimate."

She's a leftist so of course she lied. Just like all the famous people threatening promising to leave, it's all lies.

This dimwitted fool is pegging my GayDar. What a pinheaded putz. My best advice to him is to self-exile from the USA.

Let me quote someone you like there Mr Moron...

“Elections have consequences”

Would you be claiming this nonsense if Hillary was the one making the nomination? Of course not...

What about all the leftist Supreme Court has stolen from the American people in terms of liberty and the Bill of Rights?

Dear Mr. Merkley, what's the matter buddy? Feeling a little schlonged?

Borked maybe?

The Dems failure to demand a replacement for Scalia turns out to be yuge.

What is it with these Democrats who seem to look like all they are missing is the Hitler mustache?

On Monday the local news radio station was confidently and smugly announcing Clinton was ahead 4 points nationally. Right!

I so want to call them today and pretend to be a deranged democrat and scream at the news desk and demand to know why they deliberately lied to me when they knew there were polls saying Trump was ahead, and that if they had told the truth that I might have went out and voted (or voted more often, or called friends, or whatever) and then sarcastically thank them for helping elect Trump and slam the phone down.

I still might.

Except I don’t know how to slap a cell phone down.

It’s official: democracy has failed the left, fascism is their only option. Picture Merkley with the little square mustache on his upper lip.

The perfect counterbalance to bozo winning the presidency is his having to hand it over to TRUMP!

Not sure what the problem is.

The Senate is just showing respect for Vice President Biden’s precedent when he was the Senator overseeing judicial nominees.
