[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It's so ironic how defensive he gets in his speeches. I'm guessing if he had a moral compass he's reminded that he voted against Alito and Roberts because of ideological reasons, even though he admonishes Republicans against doing the same.[/quote]

He did not stop Alito or Roberts from getting a hearing. [/quote]

You understand (probably not) that there are 11 legislative weeks remaining in 2016.

11 weeks. That's why there's a throw-away candidate speaking right now.[/quote]

You act as if "legislative weeks" is a meaningful measurement of anything at all. We are not even through the first quarter of 2016.  The question is: how long can Republicans continue to stonewall, particularly with Trump leading the their presidential nomination field. What will Republicans in contested Senate seats say when asked, "Are you seriously holding out for the possibility that Trump will pick the next nominee?" To the extent the legislative calendar matters at all, the Republicans should be worried that their stonewalling will stoke popular support for a recess appointment.[/quote]
