So McConnell called Garland this afternoon and told him there would be no meetings, no hearings,

[Stinky The Clown]

and no votes.

What a shitbird.

[Jackie Wilson Said]

1. Violating his duty. And saying to the American people that he refuses to acknowledge the

election.

Damn good thing this is not happening in the reverse, the republican party would threaten war at which point the Democratic party would concede and do their job.

[CaliforniaPeggy]

2. It's a pipe dream, and it won't happen, but.......IMPEACH McCONNELL. n/t

[SickOfTheOnePct]

7. Only one U.S. Senator

has ever been impeached by the House, and the Senate refused to hold a trial, saying the House had no jurisdiction to impeach. The Senator was however expelled from the Senate by a vote of Senators.

Not to mention that McConnell has committed no crimes, since being an obnoxious asshole is not a crime.

3. Hate these assholes.

[WhiteTara]

5. Vote Democratic in November!

[morningfog]

16. Always have.

[WhiteTara]

17. me too.

4. Mitch McConnell is playing a game he cannot win..

These Blue state republican senators running for re election are all going to lose!

[blm]

6. So Mitch is submitting legislation to amend constitution whereas presidents are limited

to nominating court picks ONLY in the first 3 years of their term?

If this is truly about PRINCIPLE, then demand the senate vote to amend the constitution.

Don't let a day go by without pointing this out.

[SickOfTheOnePct]

10. Are Democrats

going to submit an amendment that sets a time limit for considering judicial nominations? If not, assholish as this is, there is no violation of the Constitution.

8. So Obama's nefarious little scheme is working perfectly!

[JoePhilly]

9. + 1

11. I think it's about time for the Senate cafeteria to have a special on turtle soup.

Actually, it's the House cafeteria that has, or had, a stall devoted to rotating regional specialties.

[MerryBlooms]

12. Worst part is, this decision (which we all knew was coming) will further fire up the

republican base and they will come out to vote in even bigger numbers than they have so far (which have beat us in race after race).
We have got to find a way to get Democratic voters off their asses and VOTE.

[Sherman A1]

13. I believe that it is incumbent upon us

to email our Senators (both Democrat and Republican) and insist that they perform their duties under the Constitution in this matter. I will be doing so tomorrow and I encourage all to do the same.

[TeamPooka]

14. link please.

[Stinky The Clown]

15. Can't link to a news radio story. But if curiosity or doubt of the story is bothering you . . . . .

. . . . . here ya go: https://www.google.com

When you get where that link takes you, type in "do some research"

[TeamPooka]

18. The "research" one usualy does when they start a thread such as this? Okay.

[Stinky The Clown]

19. Gee, is that a new rule?

Here's how it works. You trust a poster or you don't. if you don't, then you avoid their posts. I do that all the time.

But you can choose your own path.

[jberryhill]

20. It's the Merle Haggard rule

You must research your post, unless you heard it on the radio.
