And you have conveniently ignored the actual point - the clear hypocrisy of the positions described by the same Senate majority leader.




You act as if you’re proud about your progressive/Marxist indoctrination….weird.

Your "reality" has been debunked by all evidence presented to 86 courts and everyone with any credibility, including even people you once liked (until they crossed your beloved aspiring dictator).

You will go the same way that old southern Civil War supporters die to this day...still rationalizing and twisting about myths to the end...while everyone else is laughing.

The "republican" nominees to the court have been pretty centrist. Obamas nominees were left wing nutcases by and large. Not a single Trump nominee has been as partisan as the wise Latino who has proven to be an ideologue with very little understanding of constitutional law.
Garland has proven to be a bullet dodged. He clearly has zero respect for the law and would have been a terrible addition to the court. Its comical that he
was presented as a centrist and has shown his true colors since he was thankfully prevented from compromising the court even further

The President was allowed to make the appointment, the Senate did not confirm him. If you want to talk about the politicization of that process then let’s talk about Robert Bork, Clarence Thomas and Brett Kavenaugh.

If you want to talk about the senate refusing to allow the President to make an appointment, let’s talk about Janice Rogers Brown, a black woman whose nomination was torpedoed by Biden himself. The Dems have played hardball politics with these nominations for decades.

Is it not obvious the difference? One was a lame duck and the other was up for re-election! That’s definitely a difference.

Senate control matters. That was a great move by McConnell.

The writing has been on the wall ever since 1987 and Robert Bork. The Court is divided up the way it is and runs the way it does by design. Even Reagan pushing O'Connor in his first year in office was a step backwards.

He would never say this if he wasn't witnessing it now. He knows they should have heard many of the election fraud cases, but the majority punted because of FEAR.

If you are afraid to do your job, then you should resign.
Starting with Roberts, KAv, then Barret.
Thanks to the Deep State for these coward Justices.

Explain how anything I said is factually untrue. You cannot. Hence you only keep saying "not the same circumstances."


Several other posters, before my response, explained it to you. Didn't matter, though. Democrats, progressives, and liberals like you do not listen to, will not consider, and do not believe in logic, facts, and truth. You are all about "feelings" and emotion. Nothing I or anyone else here could say or show that would lead you to consider the truth and abandon your "feelings" and emotion. It's pointless to argue facts and truth with your kind. You are blind, and willfully blind at that.

I would maybe tend to agree with you, but this all started with the rejection of the eminently qualified Robert Bork by Democrats led by, oddly enough, Sen. Joe Biden (D-Del.). The confirmation process has become a mess, but at least that’s part of the political process. The key is keeping the Court out of that process once the justices are seated. However, you need justices who actually believe in our system to make that work. Despite my differences of opinion, I know RBG did. I am not so sure with Sotomayor.

SCOTUS is doomed to become a political action arm of the Radical American Left.

Mmm. That's good. More of this please.

The left wants to scream hypocrisy beause it's just another way of twisting the rules in their favor. NO ONE could have watched that stupid lying slut and her abetters in the Kavanaugh hearings and think Dems believe in the rule of law or truth.

Pretending like you're standing up for truth while promoting Dems is the height of hypocrisy. We're not playing along with the games any more.

On what planet did Thomas or even SCOTUS "allow" or not allow those things to happen?

Besides, you can pretend that the circumstances were the exact same--but they factually were not. If the Democrats would have had their current numbers in the Senate in fall 2020, Barrett would not be on the Court.

The only difference in circumstances pertains to which party was in the White House, which is utterly irrelevant to a Presidential authority to make a nomination and the Senate duty to take it up.

Point out to me where it says how long the Senate has until it has to take up a Presidential appointment.

The only real difference that mattered to the Republicans in the Senate was who was making the nomination

No fricking shite This is politics, buttercup. Having a majority in the Senate means you can significantly impact POTUS appointments. Deal with it.
