Title: McConnell changes his Supreme Court position Post by eau de sauvage on 06/01/19 at 19:56:46 Some may remember that the current descent into the court packing began when McConnell point blank refused to consider any SC nomination made by Obama because it's an election year. He's just said that if there is a vacancy in 2020 he will make sure that any Trump nominee is confirmed. Suckers. |

What are "their rules"? When Scalia passed away, Obama still had 9 months left in office and mcconnell blocked any nomination. Are you saying that was some sort of "lefty move"? |

Title: Re: McConnell changes his Supreme Court position Post by pg on 06/05/19 at 07:02:06 McConnell didn't block the nomination out of some protocol. He wanted to stack the court, plain and simple. It worked wonderfully. Best regards, |

Well, at least you admit the hypocrisy. You've got no defense now. So then when the dems take over Congress in 2020, you can understand why they'll do the same thing, right? (that's if a republican ever gets elected into the presidency again...) . ;D SMH |

Yup. Blocked Garlands confirmation vote base on the "Biden Rule". "...a 1992 speech by then-senator Joe Biden, which argued that President Bush should wait until after the election to appoint a replacement if a Supreme Court seat became vacant during the summer or should appoint a moderate acceptable to the then-Democratic Senate." Used a lefties own words to justify his position then. Lefties didn't like it. So. (Putting words in Old McTurtles mouth) "OK, you guys didn't like your own senator's, then vice president, and now Presidential nominee hopefuls rule when I invoked it then. No problem. We will ignore it this time." Lefties don't like that either. [i]"Senator, we are all part of the same hypocrisy.." - Michael Corleone |

Title: Re: McConnell changes his Supreme Court position Post by verslagen1 on 06/05/19 at 14:00:42 TT, looks like you have no defense. ;D |

Title: Re: McConnell changes his Supreme Court position Post by WebsterMark on 06/05/19 at 14:05:42 "Senator, we are all part of the same hypocrisy.." - Michael Corleone .....but never think it applies to my family." Regardless; it's payback for the shameful lies they used to try and destroy Kavanaugh. |

Nah - I'd have to go with the GOP owning a lion's share of the hypocrisy today. But hey - now that you all have actually set the precedent - no crying when a Democratic Congress holds up a nomination from a republican president (if a republican ever gets back into the white house that is...) |

Well vers - the precedent has been set by the GOP so it would be stupid not to follow the same path. But like I said, that's only if a republican becomes president again with a democratic Congress. And, since Congress and the presidency is likely to swing blue in 2020, I don't see that scenario in the near future. |

There have been plenty nominees from Republican Presidents held up by Democratic senates. And also the opposite. That's just politics. As far as a "rule" goes. The rules that the Senate operates under are whatever "rules" the members of the senate at any given time agree are the "rules". That's why they spend so much time and energy arguing about,procedure and precedent, and "just wait and see what we're gonna do to your a*s, when we have the votes, if you guys dare do THAT!" Whatever "THAT" happens to be. Quote:
Likely a correct assessment..There is an ample supply of hypocrisy on both sides of the aisle in that particular den of thieves, however. And tomorrow is another day. |

Title: Re: McConnell changes his Supreme Court position Post by Serowbot on 06/05/19 at 16:16:53 So, if Biden set the precedent in 1992,... and it was followed with Obama,... why isn't it the same with Trump?... He is the least popular President in modern history and won with a minority. I see no mandate there. |

Knowing you, I assume you meant to say the "most unpopular"... But I would dispute the no mandate point. Look at any election map by county and see the vast stretches of red with blue points in-between. That means something. Trump supporters endure verbal abuse, threats, intimidation, property damage and real violence based on their chosen candidate yet they still support a man who under any other circumstance they wouldn't give two cents about. Why? Because they loathe you that much. That's how un-American your leftist views are. The idea that so many believe the phrase that Donald Trump is not the hero we deserve but the hero we need should give you pause. The fact huge areas of the nation puts up with all that abuse just to meteorically flip you the bird is in fact a mandate. |

Although, perhaps accurate to say they metaphorically flip you the bird meteorically. Yea, it's sad your side forced Trump as the only possible solution. What was our choice; Jeb Bush??? On this anniversary of D-Day; it's worth nothing the Democratic Party is pushing for some policies every man fighting would have found abhorrent. Have you listened to what Warren, Sanders are saying? |

Wait, wait, wait...."it's sad your side forced Trump as the only possible solution". ;D ;D ;D You're going to blame trump on the dems???? Seriously? Wow, now that's funny!! As to what the soldiers fought for in WWII, they certainly didn't fight for the right to have corporations buying elections, or vets living in the street. They didn't fight for stagnant wages and $3000 hammers. They didn't fight for the 1% to get rich off tax breaks. They fought and died for our democracy, not today's oligarchy. I have seen all the Warren and Sanders and Biden are saying. And most of it I like. In fact, most of it, the entire country likes. |
