hurrayyy
the firewall holdsā¦
Another asshole refusing to do his job because tea partiers threatened to primary him and take that job away. As useless as most of what passes for politicians in Kansas (my home state, which I thankfully escaped decades ago).
OKā¦weāre back to āWE know youāre a whore and now weāre just haggling about the priceāā¦Jerry?
Pussy. Not deserving of having the courtesy of being called a civil appellation.
Get a brain, MORAN.
Premature withdrawal.
what a pathetic tool.
Are you surprised? Iām not. Moran once again kneels down and bends over like the true Kochsucker that he really is.
This is why the Democrats need to get the Senate back, then kill the filibuster, kill secret holds, kill the blue slips and kill the 60 vote threshold.
Obviously Grassley and/or the lunatics in Brownbackistan threatened him with excommunication from the Almighty Church of Supply Side Jesus, but letās be real: even if the GOP knuckled under and held hearings and a vote, theyāll never vote to confirm Garland, or any other Democratic Presidentās nominee.
And that includes Susan Collins, whose āmoderationā is as fake as Governor Bentleyās marriage vows.
What should you expect? Heās a Moran
This Koch Brothers got to him.
Cowardice before bullies has become ubiquitous in this declining country āā cowardice both before the extreme Right, and the extreme Left.
The Kochs say Helloā¦
ādidnāt need hearings to concludeā that Constitution should only be thrown in peopleās faces if it is convenient and can be safely ignored otherwise.
Dems needs to run ads against all these assholes with CONSTITUTION all over the place, zooming in on the relevant language in the constitution, say CONSTITUTION a few more times, then ask why these Senators DO NOT HONOR AND RESPECT the CONSTITUTION.
We are coming to your tea party! Woo hoo!
Funny, all those NRA types keep telling me how the 2nd amendment is absolute and immutable and gives the right to bear any arms whether in a militia or not and nobody could ever imagine changing it. Only a complete idiot would imagine that as even a possibility.
And now we find that they are wetting their knickers over the prospect of just one SCOTUS seat flipping.
Exactly. Whatās particularly astonishing is that his original position was that he wanted to give Garland a hearing but wasnāt going to vote for him, and that was enough to cause the crazies on the right to launch a concerted campaign to threaten to oppose him in a primary when he next runs. Unbelievable.
Well, its evident this Moran dude is sucking his milk from the lead based tit of the NRA organization!
His brain is so distorted from all the lead heās taken in from the NRA, that heās fails to understand that his VOTE will determine whether the SCOTUS nominee is seated on the bench or not.
But to say you no longer support a hearing because heās found out by reviewing the nomineeās record and the nomineeās stance on the 2nd Amendment is the reason why NOT to have a hearing is absurd!
āHe has examined Judge Garlandās record and didnāt need hearings to conclude that the nomineeās judicial philosophy, disregard for Second Amendment rights and sympathy for federal government bureaucracy make Garland unacceptable to serve on the Supreme Court,ā Moranās aide said in a statement acquired by CNN. āSenator Moran remains committed to preventing this president from putting another justice on the highest court in the land.ā
This is two separate arguments. The first is that Garland is unacceptable to Moran, and that is a reason not to hold hearings. The second is that āthis presidentā has no right to nominate another SC justice.
The first argument is untenable, because hearings are exactly where you examine a nominee and then vote to reject. An individual senator doesnāt just decide they donāt like a candidate and therefore no hearing should be held. I donāt think GOP senators would like it if a future Democratic Senate majority made such a statement on GOP nominees ā we donāt like him so no hearings! It sets a terrible precedent that can bite the GOP in the ass in the future.
The second argument is similarly untenable, in that it works for the GOP today but will not in the future were the roles reversed. It sets a horrible precedent that if you donāt like a president ā āthis presidentā ā then you donāt have to fill seats on the SC.
Either way, these two stupid arguments will only work for the GOP as long as they hold the Senate and Dems hold the White House. After that ā¦ the righteous morality will abate.
Fundamental failure! A Senator who says he is committed to prevent this President from appointing anyone to the Supreme Court has abdicated his oath. Sure, if he has a reason to refuse consent, it is his privilege to do so. But refusing to consider any nominee, regardless is not doing his job. Period.
It is one thing to refuse to give consent, but that isnāt what he is doing. He is expressly refusing to participate in the process for the express purpose of preventing this specific president from making an appointment no matter whom he appoints.
Why is āpussyā a derogative term for you? I am sure you do not mean to call him a kitty cat. With such words as wimp, coward or mouse why do we have to go with ones that while intending to insult the target actually insult women?
