    Precedent has already been set, might want to read some history. Empty threats.

    The precedent of POTUS to confirm a justice? That’s precedent. That’s the constitution. You know - that document you leftists hate so much.

    How about When the POTUS and Senate are the same party? Virtually unanimously it’s the precedent.
    In the final year of his office?
    Almost always as well.

    When the POTUS and Senate are of differing parties?
    Pretty rare.

    You are blinded by your hypocrisy.

    I'm sure confirmation during a full moon was also rare.

    Here are the facts, dumdum :

    “29 times there has been a vacancy in the presidential election year.
    29 presidents have made nominations all 29 times.
    What has the Senate done? And there is a big difference in the Senate, with whether the Senate is of the same party as the president or a different party of the president.
    When the Senate is of the same party as the president, the vacancy occurs at the election year, of the 29 times, those were 19 of them -- of those 19, the Senate has confirmed those nominees 17 times."

    “If the parties are the same, the Senate confirms the nominee, When the parties are different, that has happened 10 times -- Merrick Garland was one of them. Of those 10, the Senate has confirmed the nominees only twice.”

    says Ted Cruz

    Wait till Stephen Breyer retires, you ET trolls will be having a hissy fit. Here4BS has not explained his interest in US affairs considering he is a foreign, Canadian troll? Sorry, you do not have any vote or say in US affairs. Try your soyboy Justin Trudeau. Maybe, you should fix Canadian problems?

    I wouldn't want them either. But, as someone living here on the ground every day, I have never seen any evidence at all of any religion trying to take over any aspect of my life whatsoever. Not once. Well, except those Jehovah's Witnesses that stop by every once in a while to tell me about how I should be saved.
