  2. When she was asked in an interview with the NYT in 2016 if the Senate should consider Merrick Garland’s nomination ahead of the election, her answer was:

    “That’s their job. There is nothing in the Constitution that says the President stops being President in his last year.”





    Whoa! Now there's an inconvenient little quote from Ruthie right there.

    And it counters my assertion yesterday wherein I said that I doubt very much that she has ever looked at the Constitution or even owns a copy.

    It could be though that she has one of those New Testament Revised Constitutions for Democrats and her copy says there is nothing in the Constitution that says a Democrat President stops being President in his last year. Yeh, that's probably it.

  4. Radical left Democrats, (are there any other kind these days), making threats may force me to rethink my position on the timing of these appointment.
    The hypocrisy argument is a good one, but making the threat of do it our way or else has me thinking, okay MF'ers, let's just see what or else is. Way tired of these threats of chaos and violence when these bastards don't get their way. Might just be time for a long overdue knockdown battle, the bloody kind.

    yes, I'm sure that's it, not the fact you're a spineless hypocrite just falling in line. Couldn't even last 48 hrs huh?

  6. Your reading comprehension is poor as usual. I'm not there yet, but leftists like yourself keep making threats of do it our way or else and I'm likely to call the bluff. Let's see what your Army of lunatics has really got.

    I'm a moderate who's issued no threats. I also don't fall for reddit/twitter posts which may as well be bots for all I know.

  8. Yep, when I think of moderate your are the first guy comes to mind. You're not making the threats of violence, just supporting and excusing the ones who do. IOW, useful idiot.

  10. Point one I agree with.
    Point two is irrelevant. Dying wishes aren't how we fill vacated positions and it's not her decision to make.
    Point three may or may not happen and "good will" between the parties left the building a long time ago.
    Point four. I have no doubt every administration has a couple throughly vetted candidates on hand at all times for just such circumstances.
    Point five. Partisanship is the game and it's only going to get worse.
    In closing, point one is the only solid argument for waiting and Democrats are blowing that with their threats.
