We are seeing right now where the line is. If the line is anytime within the presidential primary season, the Republicans will hold. If it is not, they will fold.

The sitting president should always nominate the next justice.  This isn't hard.

Why even have a president 19 days before the inauguration?

[wetwillie]

I'll grant you less than 24 hours from inauguration.  It is prison rules that day.

And that is precisely what has happened. The Presdident nominated someone. Now show me where the Senate is required to approve of that nomination...

They certainly aren't required to.  They can be obstructionist to their hearts content.  Usually doesn't sit well with the American people however.

If that is the case, Hilldabeast will win the election and the 2nd Amendment will go away.

They can probably just obstruct for the four years of her term.

The Democrats would not have to do that (they will run congress since the GOP lost it due to being divided). Plus, she will have avoided indictment by promising to nominate Obama to the Supreme Court. Welcome to Amerika!

Don't necessarily agree with the details, but that is exactly what the GOP is facing. I love how they think delaying this to an election will help them. It'll only end up worse and they lose control of everything. Honestly I hope that happens, the destruction of the GOP as we know it is nigh and it's best to get it going in earnest.

Enjoy it for now Comrade. But Hilldabeast is the final straw needed to break the last remaining resistance to an Article 5 Convention.

You certainly never know what's coming next

i don't have any problem with the 'pubs not confirming, or refusing to consider, the nominee or wherever it is that they want to draw the line.  i just think they're being stupid.  they're going to get a more liberal judge as a result.

and the thing is that they know that.  the senators talking up how they won't consider an obama nominee are the same ones wringing their hands about how a trump candidacy will hand the presidency and possibly the senate to the democrats.

The dilemma they've created for themselves is that it will be hard for them to get reelected if they confirm this guy after making such a strong statement to their voters that Obama should not be making the nomination.

Obama has whipped the collective republican ass for the better part of a decade.  For a man that dislikes the gamesmanship of politics, he is quite good at it.

[Fake Sugar Dick (WARNING, NOT THE REAL SUGAR DICK!)]

I think you people are drastically overestimating the electability of Hillrod, her devotion to liberal ideals (lol, she's such a fraud), and how respected b.o. actually is. Not to mention,  the general public's understanding/awareness on this issue.  If they don't care about Syria they surely don't care about this.

Gloat now. What goes around comes around. Wasn't long ago you guys went through the Carter/Mondale/Dukakis morass then the Lewinsky/Gore/Kerry years.
