Okay democrats, get you rear ends out there and tell the whole world how this is just another slap in the face of President Obama, is a racist gesture and a divisionary tactic to further divide this nation. If this does not help take back the senate for the democrats, nothing will. It should also help us keep the Presidency. Get out and talk and VOTE!

I believe that McConnell had to do this before Obama announced the nominee. It’s far easier to say “we won’t have a hearing for Obama” than “we won’t have a hearing on Mr X”.
Once the person is nominated, though, and Obama and others make the point that the Senate is completely disfunctional, I do think it’ll come back to bite McConnell.

This is going to work out for McConnell about as well as his plan to make Obama a one-term President. But that won’t stop the old racist from trying again.

Wouldn’t a reasonable reading of the Constitution dictate that the Senate has to, at a minimum, consider and vote on a nominee? Not in bizarro, obstructionist, RWNJ Land! This will backfire on them and justifiably so.

GOP: “We believe so strongly that this should be left to a democratic process . . . that we’ll decide to block any hearing after holding a closed-door meeting without any Democrats. Voila!”

Oh well, a Democratic nominee will win the election and return the Senate to Democratic control. McCdonnell is an embarrassment to democracy in American.

It’s just shocking, and stupid: imagine how much mileage Republicans could get out of it if they just played by the rules? All they have now is a sniping war against each other, and made up sh*t about the president.

If the refs hadn’t been worked so hard as to be completely ineffective, I should think we would be seeing the treason flag being thrown right about now.
