Why have they not spoken out for the rule of law and justice? Shows what a right wing hack job that society is. The Republicans sold their souls for control of the judicial branch. And ya gotta give it to them. They were organized, smart, and methodical about it. This has been the plan for years and it's the reason sooOOooo many of these guys who "hated" Trump during the primaries and before are some of his strongest backers now.... hellooooo Lindsey Graham! Gotta hope the Democrats learned their lessons. Since McConnell has broken so many precedents and gotten rid of the filibuster, if Dems regain the Senate they might as well increase the Supreme Court by 4 seats (nothing in the Constitution about 9 Justices, afterall) and let the Democratic President appoint them in 2021. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

transplantbillsfan Posted October 11, 2019 Share Posted October 11, 2019 McConnell's refusal to even bring Obama's Supreme Court nominee Merick Garland up for 10 full months is unprecedented. And there are examples of Supreme Court nominees in election years being elected to the court by the opposing party. If you guys are referring to Reid getting rid of the Filibuster... well, considering the sheer volume of filibusters (something like half in all of American history... an unprecedented number) used on Obama appointed judges by Republicans, good for Harry. Hopefully the Democrats have the balls to increase the Supreme Court once they regain power. It used to be 10, anyway. Democrats problems with Republicans is that they just don't play nearly as dirty as them. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am no fan of either party, but go ask an independent or some with no political party who the dirty party is and see what they tell you?

Well, yeah, Reid eliminated the filibuster, but McConnell refused to allow the Garland nomination into committee, so he started it?

Please tell me you're high. This is going to hurt, but I'm going to attempt liberal "logic": If McConnell wasn't such a mean poopy head, forcing Reid to go nuclear, then McConnell wouldn't have any precedent to remove the filibuster to allow Adolph Gorsuch and the beer-loving rapist onto the Supreme Court. Therefore, this is all Trump's fault, and he must be immediately impeached at all costs (followed by radical wealth redistribution after Hillary retroactively becomes president for reasons)!

Therefore, This is all Trump's fault, and he must be immediately impeached at all costs (followed by radical wealth redistribution after Hillary retroactively becomes president for reasons)! You failed miserably. Liberal logic is "Reid was forced to, by Republican obstructionism. He just did what was necessary. McConnell, on the other hand, unconstitutionally withheld the nomination from a floor vote, violating the "advice and consent" clause." Which liberal logic ignores...well, reality. It's based on the first-grade legal principle of "I want it! Gimmee!" 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
