[quote=jsteele][quote=Anonymous]But the neat thing is that if Republican Senators really do this, it becomes a talking point during the election regarding reasons we should vote out a do-nothing Republican Congress.

I realize Republicans also might come out to vote for essentially appointing the next Supreme Court justice -- so waiting could mobilize the Republican party, too.

But for Republicans, the issue would just be vote to keep the 5-4 conservative split in the court.  Whereas for Democrats it would be vote to change that split and also look at the ridiculous, unprecedented shenanigans these dopes are pulling and the important judicial business they are holding up -- isn't it really time we took charge and sent them a message that these partisan hijinks are not acceptable?

I think the next couple of rounds of primaries will have a huge influence on the Republican strategy. If Trump starts to walk away with the nomination, Republicans may begin to think that a non-ideological candidate like Srinivasan is better than waiting for a left-winger nominated by President Clinton or Sanders.
