Yet another wonderful insight from the worst Senator.

[President Johnson]

He should read the constitution or shut the *** up.

[136or142]

He should read the constitution or shut the *** up.

He should just spend all his time in restaurants where none of the staff ever wash their hands.

[Wells]

So is there a thing with Republican Senators where they physically can't accept Obama's court nominees? Do they try but just can't bring themselves to do it? Or maybe Tillis is just an idiot.

They did with Sotomayor and Kagan. This year they are simply abiding by the Biden Rules.

OK, I'll bite. What are "the Biden Rules"?

If it is not part of your job why are you guys blocking it then? That takes work.

[Ebsy]

Well I guess Obama should just start seating them after receiving silence from the Senate.

First off, "the Biden Rules" aren't a thing. Second, even if they were, Senate Republicans have been following them for about 6/8 years of this Presidency. You don't think that's kinda nutty?

I guess you missed the part where some of these vacancies have gone unfilled for years.

Why can't them folks just tell the truth for once:

It's not a Republican Senate's job to confirm Democratic judges. See, we've been using the federal judiciary to score conservative policy victories for the past decade+ and we are afraid that losing 5/7 of the last presidential elections will mean a long-lasting significantly more liberal judiciary that will put an end to our plans, so it's our job to obstruct as many nominees as possible so that we may hopefully be able to reverse this in November. Major court case backlogs and burned out judges do not matter when we have partisan interests in mind.

There are other judges besides SCOTUS...
