1. Well

Guess what McCain if we have the senate You guys won't be able to do that cause Schumer will nuke the filibuster if needed Assholes !

[uppityperson]

2. Yup, working together to help the country.

3. John McCain needs to be retired. nt.

[still_one]

4. Hopefully Nate Silver's senate predictions will hold, and you and the republicans can slip into

Irrelevancy

5. It is neither his duty nor is "treason" to refuse consent to a Supreme Court nomination

It is a lot of things - stupid, shortsighted, vindictive, etc. - but he has no "duty" to consent to a Supreme Court nomination, nor is it levying war against the United States for him to consent to a Supreme Court nomination.

I suppose you'd like him tried and executed for this "treason" of his?

7. I caught him double-parking once

Can we get him on treason for that?

[Sophiegirl]

8. If it happened in DC

That's criminal!!! You know this if you've ever tried to navigate the roads down there.

12. In a loading zone?

[Orrex]

14. A handicapped loading zone in a snow-removal lane.

Crime upon crime!

[jberryhill]

17. That would go to The Hague for Misdemeanors Against Humanity

[kpete]

10. I just want him to wait until

AFTER the American People have voted,

peace,
kp

6. Not to worry. From the looks of it he'll be grabbing his heart some Monday morning soon.

[Hayduke Bomgarte]

9. If we're lucky

It'll be on a Wednesday morning... Like Nov. 9.

[gratuitous]

11. Apparently the will of the people is overrated

Our overlord Sen. John McCain has so dictated. Everyone fall in line. Everyone bow to Sen. McCain, ruler of the United States.

[NightWatcher]

13. Elections have consequences, dip shit

[spanone]

16. So if she names Pat Toomey...McCain would be united against that articulate and effective guy

because something. I mean seriously EVERYONE is tainted if they're a Hillary pick is childish and below a Senator to suggest.


I mean seriously 4 years of blocking SCOTUS picks when we all know they're going to be moderates if you hold the senate.

18. If Republicans manage to hold the Senate, this will absolutely happen.

If anything I'm a bit surprised they say it out loud this early...

Then if the Ginsberg seat comes open, look for Republicans to suddenly become "West Wing" fans and push for Hillary to name a liberal and a conservative. This is why winning the Senate is so essential.

19. It won't matter if Democrats win back the senate.

Grandpa McBitterman can go fuck himself.

20. With any luck this scummy grifter is in for a long vacation. I bet he's still into the Keating gang

for back pay. Most repub pols I've known get some of the bribe after they leave office, "then it's not a bribe" snickered one former repub CA PUC member to me. Maybe they can fly him to one of their vacation homes "for old times sake".

[lonestarnot]

21. Hope some of the money dump goes toward squelching this obstructionist lump.

[UTUSN]

22. Expected.
