It's truly a shame that it's a forgone conclusion all the Democrats vote no

on SCOTUS nominee.
When is the media and frankly the President going to hammer the obvious obstruction of serving the American people they were sworn in to do as Senate leaders?
Dick Durbin on CNN said "all it takes is one Republican to vote no and this confirmation is over" (he was talking about McCain being out or unavailable.
So on national TV before the SCOTUS pick was announced this clown was on cable news telling all of us how the Democrats would play this situation. "We must stop the President's pick"...but offered no reason...
What in the hell is going on in our government?
I mean really, how do these people sleep at night?
A judge is either qualified or they are not...Kav seems to be qualified and likable....
The politics around the court is something I guess I will never understand...

It is about to be their Alamo. They are surrounded. They will fight to their death, which isn't far off.

Think of it as life being sucked out of them like death throes

Maybe I have been watching too much House of Cards, but if a simple majority is needed, can't Pence cast a vote?

You mean like when Merrick Garland was up for SCOTUS?

They won’t all vote no.
Posted on 7/10/18 at 6:43 am to ApexTiger
Same thing Republicans said about Obama if he had made a nominee....

Merrick Garland thinks it totally unfair that some democrats are already pledging to vote no

That's the problem. There shouldn't be politics involved, but there is. This tells us one thing: The courts have far too much power. They should not be making law, but they clearly do. Thomas Jefferson detested the idea of judicial review, but Hamilton was for it and his side won the debate.
Some review is necessary, though. You can't have Congress passing blatantly unconstitutional laws. I guess the question is who should do the reviewing.
I think the problem is the courts have a habit of telling us what the law DOES say whether than what it DOESN'T. Their purpose should be to step in and say "you cannot do this" rather than "Oh, didn't you know, the constitution allows abortion."

If Kav can't get confirmed it will be a blood bath for Dems in November. Dems up for reelection in red states will be attacked relentlessly on this issue.

So he's saying the Democrats will vote lock-step not to confirm. What a clown.

It's possible that one or two Dems facing reelection in the midterms in conservative states could be cajoled to vote for Trumps pick? Who knows.
