Your president will select a supreme count judge on one issue.

Right. That is what I said. They used the nuclear option to stop the Republican filibusters. Republicans threatened to use the nuclear option to stop Democrats from blocking Bush nominees. They both attempted to end filibusters to confirm nominees.

See the Reid video in post #118 where he says the Senate is under no obligation to vote on a Supreme Court nominee-what you called "stealing" the seat. Again, you keep trying to give Democrats the moral high ground when both parties did the same thing. When a party wins people want them to use their political power to their advantage, but we don't want to admit it and try to make it a moral issue.

Called stealing? It was flat out theft because McConnell figured out he could get away with it. Nobody ever did anything like this. The seat sat empty for over a year. Then the Repubs suddely were desperate to fill the seat. It was Obamas seat to fill. He even offered a middle of the road jurist for the seat thinking the Repubs could be reasonable. But the Reopubss recognized the importance of the Supremes long before the Dems did. They have used all their influence and power to make a nasty far right court . Th s is just another nail in the coffin of democracy. The putocracy is growing like a weed.

You disagreed with Reid's claim that the Senate is under no obligation to vote on a presidential nominee? The Constitution clearly does not say a vote is required--it gives Congress the power to set its own rules of operation. If you are really worried about "a nail in the coffin of democracy" you would support confirmation by a simple majority rather than 60 votes.

"President Obama has come to regret his decade-old filibuster of Justice Samuel Alito, the White House said Wednesday as Senate Republicans threatened to block his nominee to replace Antonin Scalia on the Supreme Court."

Wasn't about Obama and Alito. Nobody mentioned that in the excuse making. It was theft. The president in office is charged with filling a vacant Supreme seat. "The president shall nominate and by advice and consent of the senate shall appoint judges of the Supreme Court." When McConnell announced the slot would stay open untiol the next president came in, was not doing advice and consent. He just stopped the advice and consent and took the power away from the president.

That issue is if they promise to find him not guilty in their court. Quality doesn't count. He wants a hater but that's not hard these days but the deciding point is how they will judge him and even if the right found that out to be 100% true , they wouldn't care. They care nothing about democracy. They have no qualms about dictatorship, if it's their dictator. They have totally sold out this great country and got conned by the biggest most obvious con man in history. Reflecting on their lack of intelligence.

Not guilty of what? Defeating Mob Boss Hillary?

What do you allege the President guilty of, Comrade?

A year of Inquisition under Grand Inquisitor Mewler-Torquemada has brought about nothing on Trump, though we did find out about the corrupt FSB and DOJ working to rig the election for Hillary. :eusa_whistle:

Are you that ignorant? The Mueller invesitgation is not done. It does not leak. It has 19 indictments and 5 guilty pleas. How many did 7 Benghazis and 4 emails produce. I will save you the trouble of looking it up...ZERO. How can you people "think" like that?

Constitution, art 2 sect 2. The president shall nominate and by and with the advice and consent ,shall appoint judges of the SC. It was Obamas constitutional authority and McConnell took it away. The senate did not advise and consent. It stonewalled and refused to their constitutional duty. It blocked Obama from doing his constitutional duty, by refusing to theirs.

If the Senate does not give their consent the nomination fails. Harry Reid said the Constitution does not require a vote. I guess McConnell shouldn't have taken the word of a Democrat.

The senate did not do that. That would at least say who they are.But they simply shut the operation down. They refused to do their jobs. Saying nothing is not refusing to give consent. That would take honoring the constitution and doing their jobs. Then reject Garland with a vote. They refused to even talk to the presidents selection for the SCOTUS. They hid under their desks when he came to talk to them.

How is that any different than when Democrats and Republicans used the filibuster to block nominations from coming to a vote? Same result.

I realize you do not like bolding and enlarging text, Nordberg, but this comment of yours deserves both.

These assholes simply do not realize that their unending bullshit has come up with NOTHING...

...and the Mueller investigation already has shown results.

It must be horrible for them when their handlers tug on their strings.

Try again Comrade.

Grand Inquisitor Mewler-Torquemada blew his load on Manafort. While the Inquisition persecutes Manafort for acts perpetrated in the 2002-2008 timeframe, Torquemada has been forced to admit that this has nothing to do with Trump.

FURTHER, at some point the Inquisition is going to have to explain how throwing Paul Manafort in a deep dungeon and torturing him while completely ignoring his two business partners, John and Tony Podesta.

It's as if two men go in and hold up a liquor store, but at trial the judge turns to one man and says "I see that you're a party member, you're free to go." then turns to the other and says "you're an enemy of the party, life in prison - no parole"

Look, I get that you Stalinist democrats are not only cool with this, but have worked for decades to pervert the system of jurisprudence to this degree. The whole "some animals are more equal than others" (it's a literary reference, you wouldn't understand) is a cornerstone of the Marxist democrats, but Hillary lost. We still have a Constitution, we still have 14th Amendment guarantees of equal protection under the law.

Trump won, the democrat plan to end the Constitution and establish a socialist dictatorship is on hold. This idea that we let the Inquisition run wild and shit all over civil rights can only be tolerated so far.

Want to throw Manafort in jail? Fine, he is undoubtedly guilty. Want to let Podesta walk free for the same crime because he is a loyal party operative? Bullshit. This idea you Stalinists have of one law for commoners and a VERY different law for party members doesn't cut it.

Same crime gets the same time - Torquemada might be the Grand Inquisitor, but he is not god. With another pro-Constitution SCOTUS justice, there is zero chance of you getting away with it.

The Inquisition will burn Manafort at the stake to squeals of delight from you apparatchiks. But it cannot stand, you do not have the power to subvert the Constitution as you desire, you lost.
