If nothing else, this proves to the electorate who the dirty dawg obstructionists and the real anti-constitutionalists are.
The Repubs are like the rodeo clown who got caught on the needle sharp horns of a dilemma. Bleed, shit or go blind.

No.

Our Metrosexual Girlie Man of a President shouldn't need a petition to put on his big boy pants and do the right thing for a change.

Key word here is help, as in helping the President make a popular decision or in this case, making a prospective and imminent decision popular. If you don't believe in this, you shouldn't be looking at or quoting polls.

What we need is a president who immediately does everything TJ wants instead of a girlie man who thinks he has to consider the will of the people.

I'm not looking at polls. I'm looking at Obama's record. He's weak and I'm sick of being disappointed by him. I don't feel like signing a petition that I know won't do any good. That puts me in the position of begging a weakling to do something that I know good and well he hasn't got the stones to do.

He had the guts to take care of Scalia.

And Trump needs to cover his six.

He's definitely got the stones to do it, particularly in his last year when he has no more f*cks to give. OTOH, I think the Democrats are strategizing as to what strategy will play best in the upcoming election. If they think this will help them win the election, it's a win-win. If they play their cards right, they win the Presidency, possibly the Senate and then would be able to appoint a justice more liberal than they otherwise could.

At this point in DC, everything being done by anybody (including the GOP in this instance) is with an eye on the November election.
