LOL, so becuase there were no hearings you don't think the GOP didn't act like assholes about Garland, is that right? JHC!

Went over your head head, huh? Please list stupid unsubstantiated attacks by GOP Senators on Garland. Heck please list any attacks on Garland even if not stupid - (They weren't done due to McConnel shelving his nomination). You may say McConnel shelving the nomination was an asshole thing to do but it really wasn't an attack on Garland - more of one on Obama.

Railroad…seriously? You seemed to forgotten how the left tried to railroad the Kavenaugh nomination…false allegations in which every friend of hers refused to corroborate. A political hit job based on Democrats lies.

Dems control the WH and both houses of Congress…the only obstruction we’ve seen so far in the failed Biden Presidency has been from his own party.

Glad Beyer is retiring.

I'm sure it will be a silky smooth process.

So did Obama get his nominee?

Its cool ... the nominee will swear under oath she respects the interpretations of prior SC cases in which Kyle Rittenhouses of the world = "a well regulated militia" .. then once shes on the bench will side with any State making unconstitutional restrictions on guns.

Perhaps interpret the word 'arms" as meaning only musket powder.

Yeah know, we want to be strict constructionists and all. Want to take the plain meaning of the words as they were meant and defined in 1791. No living breathing document crap here.

New justice should be confirmed much in the same way anti abortion hand maiden Barrett was. Very quickly and railroad the minority party.

Love the fact Breyer wasn’t even allowed to announce his own retirement and effectively bullied out by dark money, corrupt Dems org.

Weird this was leaked in the winter and not the usual, after session summer. Oh for the “norms”

LOL a Trumper calling the Dems a corrupt dark money org! Hahahaha. That is fuckin great man. You are super entertaining Chico. Beware the deep state! Says the guy who supports the most corrupt mother fucker ever to throw his hat in the political ring. Ignore reality and keep chasing that boogie man Chico. You can catch him if you try brother. Hahaha. Classic.

The process of appointing a SC Justice is simple math now. Its a numbers game, do you have the Presidency and Senate.

There is no "advise and consent" or filibuster now, its just a simple majority vote.

30 day confirmations for young politically entrenched nominees are the new normal.

SC is broke. House is broke. This democracy is broke. Just put the head down, work, eat, drink, smoke, procreate, watch tv and then go to sleep.

Go home team!

Republicans stole a SC Justice and they are the ones claiming things arent fair re the SCOTUS .... this country lol.

Who said anything about fair. I was referring to behavior and how one conducts oneself in these hearings. The Dems didn't do themselves any favors with their conduct during the Barret and especially the Kavanaugh hearings. This is an opportunity for McConnel and the GOP Senators to contrast how they conduct themselves during these hearings versus what the Dems did to the two nominees mentioned above.


I'm not even saying the GOP will do this, just saying the opportunity is there and McConnel is usually one to seize any opportunity.

Watching Grahams questioning of Brown.

he does the southern charm simple speak really well. She said she was protestant. He asked is she could judge a catholic fairly .. which I saw as his attempt to tee up a joke for her. Get the laugh going both ways, her defenses down so she is just talking and not talking guarded.

Graham is what a neo conservative should be.

Very conservative, probably some double speak and half truths but hes a statesman at least in show.

Now he is cutting her off a lot, which is a strategy as well.

------------


edit -- nevermind .. hes not even asking her actual questions.

graham - "Do you know Mrs. C?"

Brown - "I know the name, not sure if I ever met her"

Graham - goes on talking for 2-3 mins about who Mrs. C is ...

Graham - "Now what do you think about that?"

Brown - "okay"


Graham - "Now lets talk about Hitler"
