Does it matter to those who are calling the republicans obstructionists, et al that the republicans are doing exactly what they told Obama they would do if he tried to fill the slot as a lame duck.

Does it matter to those same Obama supporters that the reublicans are merely doing exactly what the democrats did is similar situatons in the past?

Do the supporters know there is a Biden rule calling for not appointing a justice during a lame ducks term?

Do the supporters know that their Obama as a senator spoke strongly against allowing appointing a justice during a lame duck term.

And we all know the answers will be but that was when it was a republican president was trying to do it. And we know that it was the democrats that were the "obstructionists".

So that obviously was different and OK by their book.

BS!

Changing the subject again?
That is not what is being discussed!

I will just let that comment sink in. After all he is indeed the subject of the original post, he is who determines who gets to nominate and when a supreme court justice can be sent to the Senate ... I will just let your idiotic comment sink in ... duh there are more than one senator in the senate, duh.

You are naive. Unlike Reid, McConnell does not have complete and sole control over the Senate. But, if it makes you feel good, then blame him. But, also remember what Reid, Schummer and Biden said in the past about election year nominations. Then, just sit back and think about the next words that you post.

What one says and does matters. How many SCJ were not voted on by Reid?
