A reelection year.

Do you think that's a coincidence?


no.

It's why they've rejected those two picks.

Why do you think Harry Reid used the nuclear option to change the rules?


The rule change doesn't apply to Supreme Court nominations thus the GOP can filibuster it until they take over.

The Dems will be losing control of the Senate -- what makes you think that Harry Reid will not just throw in the Supreme Court nominee into the Nuclear Option?

I would guess that the only reason he didn't include the Supreme Court in the original nuclear option is because he didn't have a nominee at that time to employ it.

After what these Democrat scumbags have done over the last 4 years, and what the Obama administration has done over the last 5+ years, do you have ANY doubt that they would do whatever they wanted to in order to get the "right" (no pun intended) replacement for ACLURuthie?
