remove the SCOTUS nomination because it would cause "a political brouhaha". That the nomination would damage the reputation of the court.
Reputation, WTF reputation after Shrub v. Gore and Citizens United.

We can't tolerate this black man who calls himself
President nominating a Supreme Court Justice.
The very thought of it will cause republicans to
twist themselves into pretzels, much like our
logic, causing our heads to explode from an
overload of Obama Derangemet Syndrome. We
therefore must hope that a republican wins the
next election so we can prevent some commie
liberal from getting on the court. This is what the
Founders wanted.......
Hatch has always been a hack. This entire tantrum is based on the insidious racism that lurks deep within the Republican Party. They make me sick.

(6,994 posts)It is mentioned here in the replies that Republicans are continuously trying to destroy our Democracy...well that could be said about the Republican history, That has always been their goal..Had FDR not have won in 1932 when the Nazi Germany was beginning to make their move toward World Domination and Hoover would have been re-elected good chance we would be speaking German now.
