Treason IronLionZion Jun 2017 #64

Treason: Article III, Section 3 of the US Constitution onenote Jun 2017 #68

Constitution: IronLionZion Jun 2017 #71

Yep. That's the language onenote Jun 2017 #76

No. They didn't confirm Garland because that decision worked for them politically onenote Jun 2017 #66

EXACTLY. No matter the nominee, they KNEW they would win and be replacing Scalia. LaydeeBug Jun 2017 #89

No, they didn't need to KNOW a repub would win onenote Jun 2017 #90

They didn't NEED to know, because they fucking ALREADY knew LaydeeBug Jun 2017 #91

And why do you think they'd have done anything different had they not already known? onenote Jun 2017 #97

Oh, nothing, just every year that any POTUS has appointed a Justice, but please proceed. LaydeeBug Jun 2017 #104

You're being awfully generous in your view of repubs. onenote Jun 2017 #106

I've thought that from the beginning NastyRiffraff Jun 2017 #80

Why does it make no sense for the repubs to have refused to confirm Garland? onenote Jun 2017 #87

Nasty said it makes no sense not to confirm him UNLESS they fully expected a Repub to win. Amaryllis Jun 2017 #96

I disagree onenote Jun 2017 #98

We are saying the same thing. THey had only to gain by not giving him a hearing. Amaryllis Jun 2017 #100

Right. But they didn't need to know how the election would turn out go get that gain. onenote Jun 2017 #105

yes indeed... defacto7 Jun 2017 #81

AND DU was taken down election day. This was NOT a coincidence. n/t chimpymustgo Jun 2017 #86

One could speculate moondust Jun 2017 #88

Are we a nation of laws, or are we not? Mr. Ected Jun 2017 #99

They didn't confirm Garland before the election in hopes that Trump would win. hughee99 Jun 2017 #114
