Stall until the world ends. They went for a Supreme Court seat power grab without even giving Garland a hearing. They don't deserve any space.

Collins Aye
Murkowski Aye
Heller Aye
McCain Aye


well nay technically.



Are they voting for or against the nuclear option? From my understanding, they voted against by voting "Aye." If so, bless their hearts.

Aye for the Nuke, which means they voted nay on the question.

lol, oh well. Never mind. They will regret this in the long term. It's disgusting, frankly.

Agreed. I sent an angry email to Sen Warner today calling him a hypocrite, a coward, a dissapointment, and informing him that he wouldn't get any more of my votes since he's decided to become a hack without principles and treat a good judge like garbage. Sent a similar email to Sen. Kaine, but i never voted for him so it was less preachy and indignant.

Give me a break. Republicans didn't even try to nominate a consensus candidate.



And Democrats didnt even pretend to give Gorsuch a fair hearing, which they just spent an entire year whining about. Yes i know, "iz a stolez seat. Teh rules say the Democratic Party forever owns that seat."

No nominee is entitled to an aye vote from any senator. Democrats showed up to the confirmation hearings. They asked questions of Gorsuch and subjected him to the same scrutiny as any other nominee. They showed up to cast their votes on his confirmation. They did their jobs, and they did their constitutional duty. Republicans did none of those things last year.

This. I'm done with this bull.

Let's now put 10 20-something year-old judges on the Court who will be willing to not only overturn Roe v. Wade, but also say that all first-degree murder laws apply to the killing of babies nationwide.  Ending abortion is more important than our system of government itself.  I'm serious!

Go away
