"You'll regret this, and you may regret this a lot sooner than you think" Nuclear option doesn’t apply to current situation. Now who’s the flunkie? Lol.

No guarantee a vote happens before Nov 3. Kelly would be replacing an appointed Senator and can be seated in Nov. So go flunk yourself. Fail. Lame duck session fuckstick. Read your history book. Nov 3 is election day. Jan 3 is new senate.

Nov 3 is election day. Jan 3 is new senate. Read this slowly...If Kelly wins he can be seated in Nov because he would be replacing an appointed not elected Senator. Can you discuss anything without being a complete asshole with the personal attacks and insults? Apparently not.

McSally is a shitty candidate and could potentially cost a balance of power in the Senate - but it isn't happening before a Supreme Court vote.

But I wasn’t wrong, the scenario I described is absolutely possible. So go fail yourself.

We always knew it, but this proves it. Lindsey Graham has no honor. “I'm dead set on confirming [The President’s] nominee.” (Via Twitter Lindsey Graham 9/19 6:26pm) There’s no quibbling about his previous statements on the subject. And if he’ll flip on something he was so steadfast and committed to, what can anyone possibly expect him to stick to other than his own agenda?
He said one true thing in this statement and it wasn’t “I want you to use my words against me”. It was “This may make you feel better but I really don’t care.”
SC has a chance to take him out, polls shows him tied with Harrison (48%-48% presently). Will be watching that one for sure...will his flip make him more vulnerable or shore up his support? We shall see.

This is classic partisan shit from you guys. No one on here can think outside the box at all. The republican Senate waylayed the process of appointing a judge for 293 days and said we should wait because it would not be right to do this with the election coming up. The change in power was eminent as Pres. Obama was out bound after 8 years so people sat by and let it pass. This time the standards have changed and it is imperative that we rush through this and make this happen. Is this what you guys really want? Is it fair and does it have the interests of the entire country in mind? Our country prided itself on having a very consistent and predictable government. The rules were mostly stuck by whether they were written rules or traditional rules. Now we just rewrite the rules to suit the particular party. That in itself is the most un-American part of all this. I say there is a very good chance that President Trump wins the election anyway and then the Senate can do what they do then. At least there will be consistency and none of this partisan bullshit. All these other excuses that you guys are throwing out there are just examples of the same old war on words that exemplifies the new political landscape.

YOUR KIDDING All these other excuses that you guys are throwing out there are just examples of the same old war on words that exemplifies the new political landscape. ITS BEEN GOING ON FOR 244 YEARSI understand your answers and why you think this way. The bold 18pt font is a little over kill. So you choose to perpetuate the ongoing partisan-ism and make a mockery of the government? I strongly disagree that the right thing to do was hold off the vote for 293 days and now push a confirmation through in 42. It shows the world that our system of government is weak and not what we have always said it was. Also if you think that what we are going through now is anything like the past you are very mistaken. I know that all you care is that the republican government use their power to do anything that is against the democrats. That is no way to govern a country as great as ours. Those Democrats are american also and have some if not all of the same values as republicans.

Google Hamilton Burr duel. re: your underlined text above... reverse to read "democratic government use their power to do anything that is against the republicans" and lets talk impeachment re: your italicized text above.... Google Harry Reid 2013 re: your bolded, italicized, underlined text above.....hahahahaha come on Hawk...this is your weakest response yet.... like I said, this has been going on for 244 years and we're still here

The constitution says the the president SHALL nominate justices to the Supreme Court. It doesn't give him a choice or say the duty can be skipped in an election year. Trump swore to uphold the constitution so everyone saying he shouldn't do it, is asking him to break his oath of office. (I'm sure many will argue he's done that already but that's not an excuse for demanding more of it.)
As for Garland in 2016, Obama did his duty with the nomination. The Senate is duty bound to provide advice and consent. They should have held a vote but they could have simply voted him down immediately and still done their job. Even by not voting, they effective provided "advice" by implicitly saying no to the nomination. There's no constitutional requirement for a hearing.
