They didn't block a vote. They had a full vote, and rightfully rejected him.Unprecedented partisanship?????
You DO know the totally unprecedented partisan travesty that started the whole judicial wars, right?
Allow me to introduce you to Robert H. Bork
NounEdit
borking (plural borkings)
- (transitive, intransitive, US, politics, often derogatory) The act of defeating a person's appointment or election, judicial nomination, etc., through a concerted attack on the person's character, background, and philosophy. quotations ▼
I disagree that that gives the Democrats the right to eliminate the Judicial Fillibuster…which was the whole fact you were trying to justifyStart with this one.....half of all of the 168 filibusters of executive and judicial nominees in American history had come during the Obama Administration.
Do you agree to that fact?
They didn't block a vote. They had a full vote, and rightfully rejected him.
All Reid was asking for was at least an up or down vote on Obama's picks.
And why was he voted down? Lack of qualifications? Unethical behavior? Criminal record?They didn't block a vote. They had a full vote, and rightfully rejected him.
All Reid was asking for was at least an up or down vote on Obama's picks.
And who was the prime architect of the original „borking“? Who kicked off the Judicial Wars?They didn't block a vote. They had a full vote, and rightfully rejected him.

Bork deserved to be rejected.......that is sort of the point.And who was the prime architect of the original „borking“? Who kicked off the Judicial Wars?
Some of us remember quite well……

The democrats should have waited till they won an election and got enough votes. They set the new rules and then didn’t want to play the game. Of course then they totally debased the process even further by bringing in an outright proven liar in to trash an outstanding Bret Kavenaugh.What gave the republicans the right to use an unprecedented number of filibusters?
Again, they used HALF OF ALL THAT HAD EVER BEEN USED IN THE SENATE!!!!!!!!!!!!
The democrats tried multiple negotiations. The nuclear option had always been used as a threat and the minority party had always finally relented to avoid its use.
What should the democrats have done? The repubs were not even allowing a vote. You know good and well who was obstructing out of sheer partisan division.
What? They had won the election....and they had the majority in the senate. Are you drunk?????????The democrats should have waited till they won an election and got enough votes.

The Democrats will stoop to ANY depth in order to win the courts. Primarily because they don’t want to lose their right to kill unborn babies.
Let’s face it, the entire Judicial Wars revolved around one question. Abortion

Cut back on the caffeine. All they had to do was get 60 Senators. Something the GOP will manage by 2028.What? They had won the election....and they had the majority in the senate. Are you drunk?????????
The repubs were petulant little babies resorting to never before seen use of the filibuster to completely obstruct Obama. FACTS
You understand which came first on the timeline I assume. And that's what was being debated.They used half? My God that’s absurd. That would be almost as crazy as one party using Article 2 Section 4, the same number of times in 14 months as had been used in the first 244 years we were a country!!
I have no doubt that you and other right-wingers are buying into the propaganda you're constantly being fed.Cut back on the caffeine. All they had to do was get 60 Senators. Something the GOP will manage by 2028.
nobody forced Reid to Nuke the judicial Fillibuster. But I am sure tickled he did.
Really? That’s all you got? Nothing related to his judicial qualifications? He carried out a controversial order from his even more controversial boss?For wrongfully and unlawfully firing Archibald Cox - The Saturday Night Massacre.
You understand which came first on the timeline I assume. And that's what was being debated.
And during your spare time, look into what the republicans had already planned in that regard had Hillary won.
If you're going to interject into a debate, don't get upset when someone points out that your post is not relevant to the debate.I don’t give two ****s which came first on the timeline. And they were going to do it to her so it’s OK that we wasted a bunch of time and money doing it to him!!!!! Wahhhhhhhhh.

Division is good. This is war. It's us against them...............So very American.

Plus......Trump needed to be impeached; better yet, repubs should have had the backbone to invoke the 25th.
Just as additional proof of how clueless you are..........Im not upset. I think you’re the biggest clown on this board and I love giving you ****. As someone who admits to voting for Biden in the general election, it’s interesting that you think Trump is the one who should have been given the 25th. I mean yes he should have, but the fact that it would never occur to you that Biden or Obama for that matter should have been, is evidence of your breathtaking level of indoctrination.
Just as additional proof of how clueless you are..........
I said they should use the 25th on Biden as soon as he was elected. There is obviously a chasm between what you think you know and actual truth. Which explains a lot.
