Amen... and thank God many of them are gone, too...only to have been replaced by bigger, more corrupt idiots.mojo84 wrote:Redneck_Buddha wrote:You mean they should Bork him?mojo84 wrote:Keep in mind, meeting with him does not mean having a confirmation hearing or Senate vote.

I on the other hand, would let the nomination languish but that may not be the best strategy. I wouldn't care if they voted on him as long as it was assured he wouldn't be approved. That would be risky though.
Your comment prompted me to do a quick Google search. Found some interesting reading. Also note some of the players back then are still around. Regenerates my desire and enthusiasm for term limits.

They are starting to cave on the first day, and I'd lay odds that McConnell isn't far off. GOP is doomed.

Re: Senate must not consent to Merrick Garland
Oh...not even. They are doubling down in fact by trying to steal the nomination from Trump and install a Ryan/Kasich ticket. And I am most decidedly NOT a Trump voter, I just hate subversion of the will of the voters.Pariah3j wrote:I'm hoping this election cycle has taught the 'establishment' republicans a thing or 2 and that they will stick to their guns and not even allow the POTUS nomination a hearing, much less confirm any 'moderates' that he puts up.
