He could've stuck on the bit about them making up their minds to filibuster before they even find out who it is and it would've been a good answer.

plus, dems need to resist across the board at this point, slow them down until the courts can react to what's going on. I'm wondering what jh is doing to help stop what he helped create.

In an August 2016 speech in Kentucky, Senator McConnell said, "One of my proudest moments was when I looked Barack Obama in the eye and I said, 'Mr. President, you will not fill the Supreme Court vacancy."

Don't think that was smart either, and Democrats certainly got some mileage out of attaching them for that. Think my post from 11 months ago holds up pretty well until the last sentence :ce:

Second before going into the GOP nomination stuff, a few words about the Supreme Court fight. There are few things more certain in life than political process fights devolving into hypocrisy. I think there's something approaching a 100% chance that if RBG died in February 2008 that the Dem Senate would not have confirmed a Bush nominee to her spot. And we would have screamed our heads off about how unfaithful to the constitution Dem sens were being, and maybe they'd have paid a bit of a price at the polls (Ted Stevens might have won and maybe Obamacare would've never happened, who knows), but the Democrats would have been right to stand their ground given the consequences for the party and the progressive movement for shifting the court if Bush had replaced a liberal stalwart. The GOP is completely right to eat shit on this because the stakes are so high. McConnell could've handled it better without saying no hearings/no votes - I think we'd get 51+ no votes for any non GOP nominee (Kirk/Collins/maybe Murkowski) - but it's vital that the line is held. So I think it will be. If resulting unpopularity costs a senate seat or even the White House, that would suck, but allowing Obama to appoint someone who makes the court 5-4 or 6-3 lib on every contentious issue isn't something a conservative GOP senate can just roll over on. It's going to be good times 8 years from now when Stephen Breyer dies and President Rubio breaks his pledge to defer a last year nomination to the next president, and we get to hear how much of a hypocrite Rubio is.

By then we'll be under martial law and there will be no primaries, let alone a general.

this is an interesting guy to watch. he ran Bannon's other venture, which was the non-profit Government Accountability Institute. He wrote Clinton Cash, and you could argue is responsible for helping to tarnish Clinton's reputation.

that said, he's RTing a lot of socialists lately, and doesn't seem super keen on the lack of swamp draining taking place. Would be encouraging if he used his considerable researching power to do something.
