Majority rejecting SCOTUS nominee does not = stealing. This line of thought is played out and annoying.


they didnt reject garland though, they outright refused to vote on him. they could probably have voted down a new obama nominee every 4 weeks or so, but it would have looked a lot more ugly.

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - A Republican on the Senate Judiciary Committee said on Thursday he would help moderate jurist Merrick Garland win Senate confirmation if President Barack Obama nominated him to the U.S. Supreme Court.

Senator Orrin Hatch said he had known the federal appeals court judge, seen as a leading contender for the Supreme Court, for years and that he would be “a consensus nominee.”

Asked if Garland would win Senate confirmation with bipartisan support, Hatch told Reuters, “No question.”

“I have no doubts that Garland would get a lot of (Senate) votes. And I will do my best to help him get them,” added Hatch, a former Judiciary Committee chairman.


nice try though :/

also, a Majory can't "reject" a nominee if there was no vote on him in the first place...

Did rejection's definition somehow change in the past 10min? He was rejected by the majority in the form of "we aren't even going to have a hearing".

I get that right wing cyber headquarters has you guys filling the internet with this Keith Ellison stuff but I don't know why it's being spammed in pard

as far as I've seen not one person has taken a position that would justify all the talk about an entirely different case and position of power during Kav conversations

in fact other than a few on the far left everyone pretty much agrees there isn't enough here to stop Kav nor should it at this point

sooo....


Typical misogynist lefty deflection. In the meantime the three women who have made credible allegations with evidence have had their lives destroyed by the media and average Democrat mobsters, not even by antifa - by normal Democrats.

Why haven't you or one of the others always trying to compare the two made a thread for it? rather than spamming every thread about it

Kavanaugh has calendars from 1982 that do not list a party as the one his accuser describes and he's handing them over to the Senate Judiciary Committee
