Not sure how that kind of a law would work. If they don't approve the nomination in time, what's the penalty: automatically approved or automatically denied? Either way incentivizes one party to obstruct the process and make sure a vote is not held.

Automatic approval. They wouldn't have to approve the nomination in time. They would have to have a vote and either approve or disapprove.

Gives a little more power to the prez if auto approve, little more power to the senate if auto denied. Prolly a wash.

Currently, you have to have a majority to not have a vote, so auto-approve makes a lot more sense. The majority party shouldn't have that much trouble just voting no.

In a democracy, the majority rules. So, it's fundamentally Fake Sugar Dick (WARNING, NOT THE REAL SUGAR DICK!) to create a law that gives the minority power vested with the majority.

Not surprised the libtards prefer a dictatorship, just pointing out the obvious.

We have all sorts of checks on majoritarian rule. The senate is one of those. The electoral college is another example.

Trump's guy is a prick. Imagine that.

Quote
Totenberg, a renowned court reporter who is friendly with several justices, noted that Gorsuch “ticks off some members of the court—and I don’t think it’s just the liberals.”
...
Biskupic notes that Gorsuch has “shaken relations at the high court,” creating “personal tensions” at a formerly placid workplace.

Formerly placid workplace? I call bullshit. Nor would that even be desirable. Would you want so many important, generational decisions decided over friendly cocktails at the Yale Club?

Yes, but that's not the point.

I don't really see the drama there, but somewhat interesting issue.  Totally on Gorsuch's side on this one.

I think the SC sometimes takes cases like these just for fun. FWIW, I side with the drug dealer/mule. If somebody willingly lends you a car, you assume that person's reasonable expectation of privacy. I'd say the same for a guest I invited into my home. I didn't read closely enough to see if that means I align with Gorsuch or Alito. I bet they're secretly best buds in private.
I've said it before and I'll say it again, K-State fans could have beheaded the entire KU team at midcourt, and K-State fans would be celebrating it this morning.  They are the ISIS of Big 12 fanbases.

Completely unsurprised the libtards don't know that the conservatives are against the police state and the "liberals" are pro police state.

Yeah, they probably didn’t know Alito is liberal.

I guess it's sort of funny that Trump got stuffed by his own pick, but I'm personally in favor of deporting this legal resident twice convicted of burglary.
