"Mr Spicer, why is president Trump so great? Could you describe the smell of his cock for us"

"Uh yes, thank you Skype caller."

I also have an additional query for you, if Sir Gorsuch were a true gentleman and Constitutional scholar, would he not insist that the Senate has abdicated its Constitutional duty to consider Sir Garland and demand that they do so before considering him?

Er... you can't append the title 'Sir' to the person's surname. Only to their first name.

We've dug in and we're ready to fight, seems like the rest of the country (and some of our longer-tenured federal representatives) is a little more behind on that one.

Washington state will be joining the fight. They have also sued the white house

A big factor in the Bork nomination is that he was replacing Lewis Powell, liberals didn't want a big ideological shift on the court and that's what Powell-to-Bork would have been. Gorsuck has that going for him I guess since he's replacing Scalia.

At any rate, Bork got a hearing. He got voted down. Reagan got a chance to put another nomination forward.

That's not at all what happened to Garland.

4 Ds haven't seen who but would assume Heitkamp, Manchin, Donnelly, and one other

There's something amusing and manic about him, like he's had 4 redbulls and is jacked on caffeine. He damn near winks at the audience while trying to spin things.

Let's remember that party controlled EVERYTHING 8 short years ago and now controls nothing because it lost touch with a large swath of the voting electorate.

The rules didn't change in the past 8 years.

And adhering to the Constitution isn't button mashing, imo.

Nice meme, bro

Manchin, Warner, Heitkamp voted for.

When the 738k people in North Dakota get the same say as the 38 million people in California on SoS I guess it's no surprise that it ends up being a fossil fuel exec.

One of the Arabs was an American civilian child too!

Rococo - You know that multiple Republican senators said before the election that they would continue to block Hillary from filling the seat, right?

You are way too concerned with idealistic norms and totally divorced from the political reality. If you believe in liberal policies, the correct move is to fight back. Not roll over endlessly until the court is filled 9-0 with conservatives.
