What an @sshole. Unless I'm mistaken, the people spoke when they elected Obama. Twice.

But he would be within his right to block, delay and or keep the senate out of recess. Would he not Finn?

Cruise was legally able to block paying for the budget he voted for. His kool aid drinkers think it is great he cost US taxpayers 27 billion for no good reason other than because he could too. Just because he could doesn't make it right IMO.

I agree! We should wait until President Clinton is sworn in so she can appoint Justice Obama to the SCOTUS.

Yup! Like I said, this is going to be really, really nasty. The fact that McConnell couldn't even wait until Scalia was cold before declaring war is ample proof of that.

I just hope this will show some of the sane Republicans what a bunch of degenerates are running their party.

It would be precedent-setting to not seat a SCOTUS justice for 11 months. If they do so and a Republican wins the Presidency, the Democrats should do whatever necessary to preclude confirmation of any nominee of the new President for the SCOTUS the remainder of his (full) term. Turnabout is fair play.

I knew they would block a replacement and I knew they would make an election issue out of it. Where I was wrong was that I thought they would wait until tonight's debate to do that. Missed it by a couple of hours.
