And they claim Obama is a dictator, more like the Koch brothers have become our dictators and have locked us up with their Tea Party. I am not even sure there is a GOP any more, just the despotic party of the extreme right wing,

Obama is the FREAKING president. He makes appointments and you hold hearings, as well as voting to confirm them. Sounds to me Senator Barrasso, you and the rest of the Republicans donāt want to do YOUR jobs that our tax dollars pay for!

This is amusing: presumption that the Senate is gonna flip. I hope somebody asks that greasy little punk Barrasso about this prediction on Nov 5.

The Republicans are so confident that they will gain control of the senate.
In November, remember to vote and prove these assholes wrong!

āAnd if they try to do this in the lame-duck session, this will clearly poison the well and will define what weāre going to see for the next two years, the final two years of the presidency of Barack Obama,ā Barrasso concluded."
Your one of the reasonās the well is so poisoned, arsewipe!
Luckily, it only talks 51 votes to confirm a new AG! So filibuster to your little hearts content Barrasso, cause the president will gets who he wants as AG, not who the minority wants!

What is the state of the 2014 senate race?
The senator slammed Holder as a divisive attorney general and said that Americans need someone different.
So IOWās, we NEED a new AG, but only when WE decide to vote on one.
Got it.

If it happens, it would be the first time since the Civil War that weāve had a vote on an attorney general in a lame-duck when parties switched,"
Iām curious. How many times since the Civil War has there been a vacancy in the AGās office when the Senate has flipped?
And, really, if heās so concerned about confirming Holderās successor during a lame duck, why not ask Reid to hold hearings in October? AFAIK, there is no constitutional requirement that the Senate must recess until November.

You mean the way that Robert Gates, George W. Bushās nominee to replace Donald Rumsfeld, was confirmed by a lame duck Congress in December 2006?

āAs far as the lame-duck session, the last time I looked, weāre still at work and being paid until next January,ā he said. āWeāre still the Congress of the United States. Letās see what the president does.ā
STILL at work? Hahahahaha

Whereās that section in the Constitution that says Congress has to stop carrying out their specifically enumerated responsibilities in the period preceding an election or installation of any new members?
Oh, non-existent, eh?

I guess they missed the part where Holder said heād stay on until a successor is confirmed. The longer they delay the longer they have Holder who they donāt like.

Canāt wait until the GOP takes over the Senate, when theyāll do a 180 on the rights of the minority party to dictate the agenda. My guess is theyāll pass out coloring books and crayons on the first day of the new session and give Dems their orders to shut up, sit down and color.

Leahy said he hopes to go over names with Obama next week and hold a nomination hearing soon after the president announces his pick.
