Damn, luther, the time doesn't matter. It's who holds the senate - this is simply a committee selecting or refusing to select a candidate for a job. The president nominates the candidate - the senate gives him or her the job if they see fit. It's just that simple.

When has the Senate refused to vote on a president's nominee? (outside of Garland)
Will it be acceptable moving forward for the Senate to refuse to vote on a president's nominee?

10 times including Garland. As you eventually figured out some of those 10 were eventually renominated, and some even voted in, a second or third time.

The balance of the senate has always been an issue because of the advice and consent thingy in the constitution. We perhaps should try and see to it that the same party does not control the two houses of congress and the WH simultaneously since we apparently will never rid ourselves of party politics. I will say in that respect that the GOP has never shown the lack of respect for the nation, governance, or the "democratic process" that the dems did when obama took over - the stimulus and obamaCare. And actually the dems "democratic process" showed real unfettered democracy for what it truly is - mob rule.

When Nancy walked about a mile into the courthouse holding a Gallagher sized Smashonator 1000 gavel it was over for our country as far as civility towards the other side went. I think that was the day most Republicans said your side can kiss my ass and Mitch was waiting for something like the vacant SCJ seat to get pay back.


I dont see this country getting closer before we get even more divided.

Speeches are now like WWE promos anymore.

And you have conveniently "forgotten" the truth.

36 didnt get in the first time. 25 never got in.
Supreme Court Nominations Not Confirmed, 1789 to the Present

"The 36 Supreme Court nominations not confirmed by the Senate represent 31 individuals. Six of these 31 were later re-nominated and confirmed for positions on the Court. Of the other 25 nominees, four were nominated and failed confirmation more than once. Table 2 provides summary information concerning unsuccessful nominations."

Why not the others? You even admitted that it had happened under Jackson. How convenient of you to forget, yet again, that it has actually happened. And that you are butthurt over lies you let yourself believe.

Keep feeding the troll named Luther. He doesn't have enough brain cells to understand how these things work.
He feels like Trump will have his nomination confirmed and his radical loony side is still losing as usual.

He is one of those Dems that doesnt care about the truth or facts.

Yep, and for that reason I'd move that congress go back to settling differences with guns, canes, fists, chairs, or whatever is handy. There's nothing to lose the way things are - dignity and common sense went years ago - Nancy just mopped the floor with any leftover remnants. Congress just might see things in a more conciliatory light if they really had a stake (like life or limb) in the game; now more often than not they simply fight over our money and freedoms.

To solve a lot of the Dems problems is for them to vote not to have Pelosi to remain as Speaker any longer.
Seriously, she needs to retire to Cali and let someone else w/2 brain cells to carry on the fight & not be so stupid.

So in other words, it is wired into everyone. What you won't acknowledge is that we are all different. You want us to be like the gray people in the memes, but the only way you have of doing that is at point of a gun... which by the way, ONLY government will have... if you get your way. But then you turn and hyphenate any group you feel is disenfranchised... African-American.... Gay-American.... So the hypocrisy right there is palpable. You want a homogenous society yet you want special treatment for some. Which is it, because it is in fact an either/or issue.

So the other words are your words not my words. Make no effort to change and watch this $hit shoe continue for the rest of your life. Find the 10 or so most negative views you have on the subject, save them and then you can just cut and paste them till the day you die

I'll highlight the most recent "no actions" for you.

John Harlan Nov. 9, 1954 (no action) John Harlan Jan. 10, 1955 (confirmed)
Pierce Butler Nov. 21, 1922 (no action) Pierce Butler Dec. 5 1922 (confirmed)
William Hornblower Sep. 19, 1893 (no action) William Hornblower Dec. 5, 1893 (confirmed)
Not sure what point you thought you were proving unless you were trying to prove my point.

You'll need to go back to 1866 and Andrew Johnson to find anything similar.

The seat was stolen, pure and simple.

Do you even hear yourself?
Andrew Jackson - 1866.
We're talking more than 150 years ago.....and Andrew Jackson at the conclusion of the Civil War.
