Amen brother. Sit back and enjoy the show!

I really don't understand why you continue to post your opinions. Everyone already knows what they are, it's the opposite of whatever republicans are saying. You have never added substance to any discussion that I have seen.

Consider it a public service announcement to rightards. Theyre in for a bumpy ride.

But you're not announcing anything. You are just towing the democrat party line.

Then he is refusing to do his job.

Does the GOP really think it's okay to wait a YEAR to appoint another justice?

7 senate seats from 2010. Say good bye to them. Those republican senators will lead the charge. Let the games begin.

Nobody cares what you think.

Seriously.

I dont care if you care what i think. We're about to fuck you republicans up like nobodies business.

Heaven on earth. There are so many angles to this its breathtaking. That fat fascist bastard couldnt have picked a better time to drop dead.

You've been saying for years how dead the Republican Party is. Yet they have the house, senate, and are a contender for president. Your Chicken Little predictions are always wrong. It must suck to be as angry as you.

Theres a reason your ugly kentucky idiot senate leader wont allow the senate to vote and is destroying a branch of government all by himself. What do you think that reason is? Because hes fucked and so is his party.

He would fall apart like dominos and the spectacle would be historic. Your emperor has no clothes.

Time to flush both criminal parties and begin to make America Great once again.

McConnell is already being called a stupid fucking idiot by the right for making such outrageous statements.

Gee, how many votes did Harry Reid hold up from the senate voting on? Double standards? No, say it isn't so.

You are called that daily for also making such statements.

Plus its important for me to post on Sunday. This happened over the weekend and Republicans have no opinion yet. They wont until talk radio and Fox are in full swing on Monday.

I am doing my best to inform what must be very confused rightards right now.

Lets get real. Both McConnell & Reid are both ineffective leaders. They are a disgrace and appropriately represent the disfunctional Senate. I'm waiting for Reid to go to sleep in one of his speeches.

BTW/ Scalia is not even in he ground yet and they're fighting ramifications. What a disgrace.

What I don't understand is why he did that, and the Presidential candidates weren't far behind. This kind of obstructionism can't play well with moderate conservatives and independents. It's downright subversive.

but it IS appreciated (by Obama). NOW, if the Senate drags their asses on a confirmation, everybody knows it's just a political game, and not because Obama picked a bad candidate.

In fact, the fucking idiots have just ENABLED Obama to pick a bad candidate, and the Senate can't halt the nomination without appearing to be opportunistic partisan DBags. Just walked right into it...

Help me out here. Point me to the section of the Constitution, or the relevant amendment, that stipulates the pres should, in essence, take the last year off.

Democrats gave Reagan Kennedy in election year 88. And Reagan was brain dead by then.

Dont be such a pussy. If you want to obstruct and make our president a 1 term president and spend 8 years shutting government down, dont be such a faggot when you get whats coming to you.

During President George W. Bush's two term tenure in office, some of his nominations for federal judgeships were blocked by the Senate Democrats either directly in the Senate Judiciary Committee or on the full Senate floor in various procedural moves.[1] Republicans labeled it an unwarranted obstruction of professionally qualified judicial nominees.[2]

107th Congress[edit]

Soon after the inauguration of Bush as president in January 2001, many liberal academics became worried that he would begin packing the federal judiciary with conservative jurists. Yale law professor Bruce Ackerman wrote an article in the February 2001 edition of the magazine The American Prospect that encouraged the use of the filibuster to stop Bush from placing any nominee on the Supreme Court during his first term.[3] In addition, law professors Cass Sunstein (University of Chicago) and Laurence Tribe (Harvard), along with Marcia Greenberger of the National Women's Law Center, counseled Senate Democrats in April 2001 "to scrutinize judicial nominees more closely than ever." Specifically, they said, "there was no obligation to confirm someone just because they are scholarly or erudite." [4]

On May 9, 2001, President Bush announced his first eleven court of appeals nominees in a special White House ceremony.[5] This initial group of nominees included Roger Gregory, a Clinton recess-appointed judge to the Fourth Circuit, as a peace offering to Senate Democrats. There was, however, immediate concern expressed by Senate Democrats and liberal groups like the Alliance for Justice.[6][7] Democratic Senator Charles E. Schumer of New York said that the White House was "trying to create the most ideological bench in the history of the nation."[8]

As a result, from June 2001 to January 2003, when the Senate in the 107th Congress was controlled by the Democrats, many conservative appellate nominees were stalled in the Senate Judiciary Committee and never given hearings or committee votes.[9]

108th Congress[edit]

During the 108th Congress in which the Republicans regained control of the Senate by a 51-49 margin, the nominees that the Senate Democrats had blocked in the 107th Congress began to be moved through the now Republican Senate Judiciary Committee.[10] Subsequently, Senate Democrats started to filibuster judicial nominees. On February 12, 2003, Miguel Estrada, a nominee for the D.C. Circuit, became the first court of appeals nominee ever to be successfully filibustered.[citation needed] Later, nine other conservative court of appeals nominees were also filibustered. These nine were Priscilla Owen, Charles W. Pickering, Carolyn Kuhl, David W. McKeague, Henry Saad, Richard Allen Griffin, William H. Pryor, William Gerry Myers III and Janice Rogers Brown.[11] Three of the nominees (Estrada, Pickering and Kuhl) withdrew their nominations before the end of the 108th Congress.

As a result of these ten filibusters, Senate Republicans began to threaten to change the existing Senate rules by using what Senator Trent Lott termed the "nuclear option". This change in rules would eliminate the use of the filibuster to prevent judicial confirmation votes. However, in the 108th Congress, with only a two vote majority, the Republicans were in a weak position to implement this procedural maneuver.

On October 7, 2004, just prior to the presidential election, Senate Democrats issued a statement complete with statistics arguing that they were not obstructing Bush nominees in any systemic way.[12] Although the included statistics showed that district court candidates nominated by Bush were being confirmed at a higher rate than those similarly situated candidates nominated by Presidents Ronald Reagan and Bill Clinton in their first term, it also showed that Bush's success rate at getting circuit court of appeals nominees confirmed during his first term (67%) was less than those of Reagan (85%) and Clinton (71%).

109th Congress[edit]

Things changed in 2005 due to the 2004 elections. With President Bush's re-election and the Republicans picking up further Senate seats (55-45) in the 109th Congress, the "nuclear option" became a more viable strategy to ensure confirmation. On May 24, 2005, seven moderate senators of each party, called the Gang of 14, in a deal to avoid the use of the "nuclear option", agreed to drop the filibuster against three of the seven remaining affected court of appeals nominees (Priscilla Owen, Janice Rogers Brown, and William Pryor) but not two others (Henry Saad and William Myers).[13] In addition, the senators in the group agreed not to block future judicial nominees with filibusters except in cases involving "extraordinary circumstances".

As a direct result of the deal, the two filibustered nominees not mentioned in it (David W. McKeague and Richard Allen Griffin) were confirmed, as was Thomas B. Griffith, the person nominated to replace Miguel Estrada after his withdrawal. Griffith too had become the subject of controversy.[14] Since Saad had no hope of a successful cloture vote to overcome his filibuster due to the deal, he withdrew his nomination in the spring of 2006.[15]

At the end of the 109th Congress, a new controversy arose over William Myers and three other Bush court of appeals nominees who had not been specifically mentioned in the Gang deal but were still subject to its provisions: Terrence Boyle, William J. Haynes, II and Michael B. Wallace. These nominations were returned to the White House according to Senate rules on August 3, 2006 in advance of the annual August recess of Congress. When the Senate returned in September, it was only for a short period before a break for the 2006 midterm election. Although Boyle, Myers, Haynes and Wallace were renominated, again no action was taken on them in the Senate Judiciary Committee before the break, and their nominations were sent back a second time to the White House on September 29.[16]

After the November 7, 2006 election in which Democrats picked up six additional Senate seats, President Bush again renominated the candidates whose nominations had been sent back to him in September. The Republican Judiciary Committee chairman, Senator Arlen Specter, however, said that he would not process these nominees during the lame duck session of the 109th Congress.[17]

110th Congress[edit]

At the beginning of the 110th Congress in January 2007, President Bush did not renominate Boyle, Myers, Haynes and Wallace in an attempt at reconciliation with the Democrats.[18] However, that did not stop many Bush judicial nominees from being blocked in committee by the new Democratic chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee, Senator Patrick Leahy. Among those stalled in committee until their nominations lapsed were appellate nominees Peter Keisler, Robert J. Conrad, Steve A. Matthews and Glen E. Conrad.

Senator Harry Reid, the Democratic Majority Leader, and Chairman Leahy cited the previous controversy over President Clinton's court of appeals nominees in justifying why only ten Bush appellate nominees were confirmed during the 110th Congress.[19][20][21] A total of eleven appellate seats with Bush nominees were left open at the end of the 110th Congress. Of those seats, two (i.e. the North Carolina and Maryland seats of the Fourth Circuit) had originally become available to fill during the administration of President Bill Clinton.

Gerfag is the perfect libtard. He hates about 80% of the US population. He hates everything about America before Nov. 2008. He hates people over their opinions. He hates and hates and hates. And then, when he finds people hate him back, he doesn't see the irony.

Gerfag is about as stupid as they come. Everyone thought he was just trolling for his first couple of months here, but then the pitiful truth became obvious, he actually thinks he has something important to contribute. Ignoring him is the best option, even when he makes such an easy target.

This was a classic Gerry thread. Pwnd horribly after supreme confidence proves to be complete bullshit. So insightful and a bit funny as well.

Curry niggers have an average IQ of 82.

They finished second to last in the OECD Pisa test and did so bad they dropped out of the last test.

Basically Indians like Gerry are morons.

If by fucked you mean take back the White House, keep the Senate, keep the House, get to pick the next Supreme Court justice (and maybe one or two more), control the majority of state governorships, control the majority of state houses, and steal three states DEMs assumed they had in the bag, then yes, they are ROYALLY fucked Gerry.

Know who Sisyphus is? Look him up.

While the name almost perfectly describes Gerry perfectly, it's not really him.

You see, Gerry is destined to push a bolder up a hill for all eternity because of his self-aggrandizing and deceitfulness. The difference being the boulder. It's actually comprised of Gerry self-aggrandizing and deceitfulness.

Which is why he'll never be able to stop............nor join the winning team.

Gerry has a textbook case of clinical depression. He will die sad, lonely, and mad if he does not take corrective action soon.

He would be smart to get professional help while he still can using his Obamacare benefits.
