The Republican Senate candidates that are in danger of being unseated are seeking to have their own meeting with Judge Garland. What does that tell you?

It is your party that forced Obamacare through when the majority of Americans did not want it. So, quit crying and get over it. There is no rush to confirm a new judge. If you really thought that Hillary was going to win the election, you wouldn't be panicking like a little girl.

So being a little kid expecting elected officials to do their job is now a bad thing.

Here is the Biden Rule.

1. Nominee (Kennedy) was submitted.
2. Biden stated his reasons for not wanting to go through with the procedure.
3. Votes were taken, Kennedy was confirmed.

How that becomes "we ain't gonna consider a nominee" the same thing is only something a Republican can understand. Oh wait, that's right, President Obama is black and he is ruining America, lets make American great again, let's take our country back, blah blah blah.

Sorry, but you are incorrect. The Biden statement was in 1992. Kennedy was NOT nominated in an election year 1988. He was nominated the year before an election year 1987 and confirmed in Feb of the election year 1988.

In July 2007, Chuck Schumer demanded that the Democrats block supreme court nominations for 18 months.

Yes, being a little kid having a tantrum is a bad thing. What's your hurry? After all, you said Hillary is a shoo in for the next presidential position.

"Joe Biden: Claims That He Opposed Filling A SCOTUS Vacancy In An Election Year Are "Not An Accurate Description Of My Views."

In a February 22 statement Vice President Joe Biden said his 1992 comments were about "a hypothetical vacancy" and that in fact he "encouraged the Senate and the White House to 'work together to overcome partisan differences,'" which "remains [his] position today."

Biden also highlighted his record as chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee, pointing out that "he presided over the process to appoint Justice Anthony Kennedy, who was confirmed to the Supreme Court in a presidential election year."

As reported by The New York Times on February 23, Biden's aides also pointed out that "he had been warning against filling a vacancy created by a voluntary resignation of a justice rather than a vacancy created by an unexpected death. In any event, no such vacancy occurred":"

The bell just rang. I have to go to gym now. I'll be back later.

Justice Kennedy was entered for consideration Nov. 1997, and took office Feb, 1988. Joe Biden made his comment in 1992. I get your point. Kennedy wasn't held up in an election year.

When Biden made his comment, there wasn't an open seat in the Supreme Court. This "Biden Rule" is more political nonsense by the Republicans. Biden, also, stated the nominee should be consider until the election is over. If Hillary wins, the Republicans will rush to approve Garland, and they will still apply the Biden Rule. The election is over. Now, it is time to do our job. They will take a complete 180, and convince themselves that they have done nothing wrong. It is the nature of the beast.

The Senate Republicans are going to be called out for obstructing progress.

The Republican Party and the Tea Party faction is gasping at it's last breath now.

When Fox News conceded - as they did two days ago - that Hillary Clinton will win the Presidency, you know the Republicans are just twitching.

Ok, I get it. We are not supposed to take the man's word for what he said, rather the evolution of what might have been, could have been, might happen in the future or what is presently occurring. Apparently, someone got into that video clip of him speaking and edited it to reflect not what he really meant, or what he really said, but what we wanted to hear. Is that what you are saying? Depending on which party is in power, we need to be flexible to make sure that the left always gets their way, right?

Like I asked before, why the rush? Are you now afraid that Hillary won't be the next president? You have assured us that Hillary as president is a done deal. So, why hurry the process?

Let me know when Harry Reid is up for obstructing progress, after he held up everything while he was the leader. How many bills sat on his desk, unprocessed for a vote?

Give it a break and quit crying. It's very unbecoming. Can't threaten the Republicans with shutting down the government this time. The left has no power to threaten now. Remember what Obama said, elections have consequences. Turn around is fair play and the Dem's are crying a river.

thank you for the facts. Unfortunately, the facts don't matter to Republicans.

Thank-you,
Can I show your post to my social studies teacher? I'm hoping for extra credit.

The facts??? Does he get credit for repeating my facts after I corrected his flawed and incorrect statement? Who cares.

The only thing he added was that we are misconstruing what Biden REALLY meant. What it amounts to, is that whenever the leftie kids say something and then decide the other side can't do it, they yell "that doesn't count. We didn't mean it like that. No fair."

All I will add to the lefties on here that are using lame excuses like the lame Biden, is GROW A PAIR, and take some responsibility. And then grow up and take your beating like real Americans. You don't have to agree, but you also can't have your way 100% of the time.

We all know what Biden meant, and now it has come back to haunt him. It's not one of those open mic things where he whispers in Obie's ear that "this is a big F...ing deal!" But, in this case it IS a big deal and he has to own it.

And by the way, how do you explain off Schumer's comment about holding up nominations for 18 months????? I'm sure you have a good excuse for that one. Oh, that doesn't count either.
