Barring something unprecedented actually restoring some legitimacy to the Senate and SCOTUS, the next time a Democratic president has a Republican Senate that refuses to even consider (hold hearings or a vote) on a SCOTUS nominee, they should rent some office space in DC, hold hearings with all the Democratic Senators (with the Republicans invited, of course), hold a vote, and presuming there’s a majority of the Senators present in favor, just seat the SCOTUS nominee. That would be the equivalent of what McConnell did with Garland – it doesn’t conflict with the letter of the Constitution (advice and consent of the Senate – they did as best they could, and received “advice and consent” from every Senator who decided to get off their ass and advise), just like McConnell’s actions didn’t conflict with the letter of the Constitution. It’d be norm-breaking, but no more norm-breaking than McConnell’s actions.
And we now have a new contestant in the category of “silliest idea proposed in this thread”. What do think will happen if the fake nominee shows up at the Supreme Court? Do you think the actual justice are just going to have an empty chair waiting for him and shrug when he sits in it?
If Clinton comes out and says that he murdered Vince Foster and embezzled whitewater, then those are things that he did.
If Ginsburg and Breyer were appointed through corruption or graft, or in an attempt to avoid or obstruct justice, then they should be investigated, and if they are found to be complicit in aiding the corruption or obstruction, then they should be.
This isn’t that hard.
He did say “at the first opportunity”, so your contribution is irrelevant.
And why would that be?
Thank you for your entry.
I suggest you read posts more closely in the future. I very clearly stated “at the first opportunity” or in other words, when they control the Federal government at some unspecified point in the future. Anyone who doesn’t realize the balance of power will shift, just as it has in the past, is seriously misguided. Even McConnell knows this, he just doesn’t give a shit because he’s a soulless evil fuck.
