I distinctly remember one of the major talking points coming down from the DNC to their flunkies being that Bernie Sanders "wouldn't get anything done" with the Republicans.
Seems Hillary is going to be so much better, huh.
Thank you McCain for campaigning for Hillary and the democrats. It's appreciated.
Crooked Hillary would be impeached before she nominated anyone. Thankfully she won't be elected.
They wont be able to stall for 8 years. They can try. But they wont. By month 3 of Clintons presidency, the new justice will be confirmed.
This is just election season talk.
Just remember that this "obstructionism" has led to large majorities in both of the previous midterm elections (and before Espe cries gerrymandering, this was in the overall popular vote). This kind of stuff is red meat to the conservative base and it would take a reversal of the last few midterm results to see the Democrats win.
but I thought it was just because of that unwritten law, that they have never cared about before, that the president is in his last year.
Is the new even less written law, that the president isnt allowed to even suggest candidates, when she has just 4 years left?
God I hope the democrats at least gets half a congress back. This whole "president without a parlament" is just a recipie for desaster.
"And all those exclamation marks, you notice? Five?
A sure sign of someone who wears his underpants on his head."
Hilldog voted to keep it open. /shrug
I think its funny Bernie did too. LoL.
But its hard to close gitmo during a war. We need a place like that for obvious reasons.
But all of this isn't even comparable. The republicans and dems can stall for a thousand years on policy if they want. But, Their duties as congress? Not so much. They will have to confirm sooner than later.
-governing Flint like a business, and various other environmental roll backs that have lead to various issues like NC coal lash spill in the river or FL climate change denial.
-the continued gutting of schools when ever their trickled down economics doesn't pay the bills - WI and KA are big offenders of this.
-dissolving of worker rights
-refusing to expand Medicaid aid
Hmmm...haven't democrats done the same thing in the past?
appears so.
So... The duty of the Congress in confirming a Supreme Court justice is just to act as a rubber stamp, and not actually have a say, at all? Because that's what you're suggesting right now. You're saying that the Congress has to confirm the justice the PotUS appoints, period. That basically makes them completely useless.
The only other option is that they have the duty of not confirming an appointee if that's what they feel they should do, and you can't slap a time restraint on that, because that would again make the Congress pointless in this regard.
I have no idea what flint or what that stuff is, so...
They're not harming people by cutting in schools.
How are they dissolving worker rights?
Why should they expand it?
If people can't afford an education or healthcare then that's a position they've put themselves in. That's them hurting themselves, not GOP hurting them.
