His sister is already a federal appeals judge. Maryanne Trump Barry.

I'm guessing an 80 year old would have a tough time getting confirmed.

This whole back and forth is almost like the Republicans are supposed to mow the yard, but the mower is out of gas, and Obama needs to fill it up first. But he's not filling the tank because Republicans already said they don't want to mow today. It's like, yea they're probably not going to do it, but they literally can't until you do your part of the job anyway, man.
It's been less than 2 weeks and the Pubs have said eff mowing the yard, it's something that should be decided by the next child who is assigned that chore.

Why are you having a conversation with yourself?

Merrick Garland is about to wish he had never gone to law school

I get the pick from a politics standpoint, but I hate it as a liberal. Oh well Hillary is basically gonna be able to nominate Stalin next year.

Maybe not. It seems they just plan to completely ignore him.

wetwillie · « **Reply #686 on:** March 16, 2016, 10:30:53 AM »

Yep, sounds like it's going to be smooth sailing for old merrick

chuckjames · « **Reply #687 on:** March 16, 2016, 10:36:09 AM »

If you're McConnell don't you just take Garland? I mean Hillary will probably win, and with it a Dem senate to confirm a 45 year old Communist. Or do you really want Trump's potential nominee?

I would, but if I were McConnell, I wouldn't have painted myself into a corner saying that I wouldn't support any Obama nominee. Now if he takes Garland, he's giving in to Obama.

The president and vice president have evidently set the precedent for what the senate is doing now. You reap what you sow.

The conclusion of Biden's rant in '92 - but don't let context spoil the 15 second clip that has made Republicans feel justified

Quote

"I believe that so long as the public continues to split its confidence between the branches, compromise is the responsible course both for the White House and for the Senate," he said. "Therefore I stand by my position, Mr. President, if the President [George H.W. Bush] consults and cooperates with the Senate or moderates his selections absent consultation, then his nominees may enjoy my support as did Justices Kennedy and Souter."

It would be a win for pubs to confirm this guy if they hadn't been such obstinate cunts immediately after Scalia's death

How would it be a win?

Far closer to moderate than expected for BO or what will be nominated by president Hilary

wetwillie · « **Reply #694 on:** March 16, 2016, 11:31:33 AM »

He is basically Souter 2.0 replacing Scalia, he isn't going to vote how they want ever.

Seems better than what is likely if they don't confirm him

I think I'm starting to hate Barack Obama. Jesus, seven years in and he's still bending over backwards to appease these people.

I doubt anyone in Trump's camp is smart enough to figure this out, but his chance at the White House DEPENDS on the Republicans holding firm and not confirming any Obama appointee. There is significant division over Trump being the nominee among the GOP. If he takes his can of spray-tan and army of miscreants and goes 3rd party, the election goes to the Hilldabeast and the 2nd Amendment goes by-by.

If the Republicans confirm this guy to the Court, Trump has no chance to win because there's no reason for people to come to the polls in November. They've lost the Court and the party is divided three ways and nobody can garner enough votes to win. Essentially, this is a big game of chicken. Trump will try to keep them from confirming anyone and the Senate will try to confirm someone to keep Trump out of the nomination.

Oh, and if the 2nd Amendment goes away we're looking at a new American Revolution.

Sleep well.
