The stolen seat needs to stay open

[Horse with no Name]

At wherever cost.

[Raster]

1. YES! That stolen seat belongs to the next DEMOCRATIC President!

[meow2u3]

2. The next DEMOCRATIC President!

Slight correction.

[Dawson Leery]

4. +1

[Raster]

6. I stand wonderfully corrected.

THANK YOU!

[uponit7771]

3. +1

[leftstreet]

5. DURec. Let's wait til we get a REAL President n/t

[Trust Buster]

7. Force the Turtle to use the nuclear option.

[brush]

28. They won't do it. We have to call their bluff. They won't do it because they know they won't alway..

be in power.

Meanwhile, things have been working out pretty well with just eight justices.

The repugs can't just ram through garbage decisions anymore.

We should keep it just how it is.

[Trust Buster]

35. I think I understand that. Again, "force" them to use the nuclear option.

[Rage4Bacon]

8. And why not magically wish in Kennedy while your at it?

Were out of power... they WILL confirm him. Avoiding reality isn't going to solve anything.

[marybourg]

17. Lot's of negativity and discouragement lately

from new posters.

[athena]

20. It's pathetic

that they think a post discouraging liberals will achieve anything.

They're a dying breed, and they know it. They may be in power now, but the arc of history is against them.

[marybourg]

21. Discouragement will ensure failure.

Don't try to teach your grandmother to suck eggs.

[brush]

29. What are you talking about. They can't confirm him if we filibuster

And they won't use the nuclear option. We have to stand firm, call their bluff and filibuster our asses off.

Call their bluff as they know if they get rid of the filibuster once they're out of power they won't be able to use it too.

Fuck them. They stole that nomination from Pres. Obama. We have to stand firm.

WE SHOULD NOT LET THEM GET AWAY WITH IT.

[yallerdawg]

9. The Republicans have to pay a price...

for what they did to President Obama and Merrick Garland.

These are games they started the day Obama was sworn in.

[orleans]

10. agree n/t

[TrekLuver]

11. Ya know what..HELL YEAH...you want to play partisan politics...well now get ready for the

serve.

[Tatiana]

13. Your guy Mitch "The Turtle" McConnell threatened not only to block Garland

but any future nomination by a potential Democratic successor (thought to be Hillary Clinton).

So yes, it's a stolen seat. And it should remain vacant.

[Turn CO Blue]

14. Yes, that seat was stolen. Also the "tu quoque" argument is a logical fallacy.

[MyNameIsKhan]

15. Why donot u go back to your fox hole please? this site is not for you

[thinkingagain]

16. that man has no right

I said this in another post but I will say it again (with a bit added)

The Republicans blocked Obama's pick using that " he can not appoint a Supreme court Justice in his last year in office"
Democrats need to block all of Trumps picks saying " In Trumps first year in office he is in TRAINING so he has no right to pick a new Supreme court Justice."
and because he has never held a political office ever that training would have to go on for well forever!

[marybourg]

18. I like it.

[athena]

19. ... until Trump nominates Garland.

Democrats must demand that Trump respect the constitution and renominate Garland.

As I explained here, anything else is a subversion of the Constitition. If Republicans are so serious about the intent of the Constition, let's see them respect it. Let's hear all the Democrats, and all the Republicans, demand that the Constition be respected, and Garland be renominated.

[TheFrenchRazor]

22. yep; "let the voters decide"... in 2020. nt

[Lucinda]

23. Yep. n/t

[Demonaut]

24. stand our ground for FOUR years?

not very likely

[fun n serious]

25. Stand your ground at all cost Democrats!

[Impedimentus]

26. Garland is the ONLY legitimate nominee !

No more attempts at giving one inch to the Repubs!

[MFM008]

27. Yes

Absolutely.

[joet67]

30. Yep. nt

[SeattleVet]

31. We probably can't stop him...

when the goppers wanted to prevent President Obama from making recess appointments, they stayed in 'pro-forma' session without a formal adjournment, with one member on the floor to gavel it open, close it, and leave every day. We have no such luxury in the Senate now...if they hold up the nominees that the orange turd is putting forward, the adjourn and let him make any of them into recess appointments, which would be in office until the end of the next session.

[HoneyBadger]

33. Trump's recess appointment could be Pryor

[HoneyBadger]

32. Protesters are already getting arrested
