Mitch McConnell and other Senate Republicans will be violating their oaths of office and neglecting their duties under the Constitution if they refuse to allow a vote on Obama’s nominee. Republicans would rather cater to the shrinking base of their party than do their jobs.

The walls are closing in, and Senate Republicans are running out of excuses for taking the taxpayers’ money while refusing to fulfill their constitutional duties. What a bunch of jerks. The President has fulfilled his constitutional duty by putting forth a candidate , a moderate one that Republicans had easily confirmed before. Now they set a new precedent by not allowing a hearing. They are not opposed to the candidate, they are opposed to Obama, and are using their power just because they can. Hopefully it will backfire on them and the taxpayers will vote for someone that will actually represent them and do their job. Even so, the Democratic president will put forth the same name after the election, so this little schoolyard stunt just makes the Republicans look like what they are - a bunch of whiney little kids. Grow up.
