OK, I’m not even gonna read this article because I’m starting to feel my blood pressure go thru the fucking roof. WTF??? All I needed to see was the word ‘any’ in the headline. So apparently, if Hillary is elected President, we’re now going to go 5 years without a full compliment of justices on the court. Fuck you Senator Dumbass. Retire already, you moron…ARGHHhhhhhhhhh!!!

“Country First” huh…Remember when this dumbass tried to pull that shit with the electorate? Yeah, that’s why you’re not President McCain old man. That, and this moron brought us the precursor to the dumbest, most lame candidate in history with Trump, when he brought us Sarah Know-nothing Palin. Proud of yourself, asshole???

So, the Republicans are LYING when they are saying that Garland is being blocked to allow the next president to make a selection. I’m SHOCKED!

DEPLORABLE. The Republican Party is a bunch of anarchists who can’t do anything other than obstruct, obstruct, obstruct. They’ve got us so accustomed to this aberrant behavior that they even campaign on it.

Oh FLotUS, might you be so kind as to read this dinosaur into the center of the Earth?

Well, the thing to hope for in that case is that Thomas falls asleep and forgets to wake up.

Or Alito self-flagellates so hard he decapitates himself.

LOLOLOLOL his desperation to keep the Trump voters is palpable. Most polls show he’s going to win going away against Ann Kirkpatrick (sadly). I’m thinking he’s seeing the polls regarding Hillary vs. Trump and concerned that a whole lot of Hillary voters will show up and the Trump voters might stay home.

How many fucking years does John McCain think the GOP can keep blocking SCOTUS nominees? It’s not like demographics favor the election of a Republican President any time soon.

And even if the GOP manages to block all SCOTUS nominees until they have a Republican POTUS, do they really think Democrats will let them appoint a new justice after years of having Democratic nominees blocked?

As he ages he has more and more of these accidental moments of honesty. I’m not sure his Republican colleagues want him hanging around with them in the Senate spilling the beans.

I thought you all decided that this election was about letting people decide who should pick the SCOTUS judges.

The Judiciary Act of 1869 requires only six Justices to conduct lawful court proceedings and render decisions. I said here in this forum long ago that absent a Democrat Senate majority the Republican Senate would deny a Democrat President confirmations until a 6th Justice was required. That means two more retirements/deaths can occur and Republican’s hands still won’t have been forced on the issue.

PS-That also means that Hillary doesn’t get a nomination until a third Justice leaves. And at that point she merely gets one nominee to bring the court up to six, not back to nine. Three have to leave for Democrats to install just one new Justice, in a Republican majority Senate. Clinton is not remaking the court unless wholesale retirements and deaths strike the court. She’d be lucky to install one Justice in her first term.

Which is exactly the kind of fever-swamp irrationality fomented by the Establishment GOP that resulted in a Donald Trump candidacy in the first place.

And McCain wonders why his preferred presidential candidate calls him an idiot and a loser.

This isn’t accidental honesty, this is intentional pandering to the lowest of the low.

Thanks, McCain, for reminding everyone that with or without Trump, the GOP is about nothing but mindless, endless obstruction, obstruction, obstruction.

“I promise you that we will be united against any Supreme Court nominee that Hillary Clinton, if she were president, would put up,” McCain said on WPHT Philadelphia radio in an interview first flagged by CNN. "I promise you. This is where we need the majority.” (John McCain)

Seriously? So, for eight years you’re going to fight against any and all nominees … whether they be good for the nation or not? Why the hell do you hate this country so much, John? Go buy an airplane and crash it into the middle of the Atlantic, please.

…and this is why John"Palin" McCain needs to be defeated.

The Senates job is to confirm SCOTUS nominations or not based on the quality of the nominee, NOT THE PARTY OF THE PERSON MAKING THE NOMINATION.

McCain is off his meds and should be retired.
