[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]In reality, there are only two rules, both set forth in the Constitution: A president, for as long as he or she is president, has the power to nominate a person to fill a Supreme Court seat; and that nominee can fill the seat only with the advice and consent of the Senate. That’s it. Everything else is posturing. Everything else is politics.[/quote]

With McConnell's rule the Supreme Court can sit empty indefinitely. Is that Constitutional? Is that politics?[/quote]

Still waiting on an answer to this. No one?[/quote]

Not PP but the above analysis seems logical.  So, the answer to both questions would be yes.  Elections have consequences.    [/quote]

But the Constitution outlines the duties of the Supreme Court. They can't be fulfilled if the court is empty. [/quote]

So, I guess we would have a lot of circuit court splits in your hypothetical.  Or maybe you could eventually vote McConnell and his party out before you run out of justices.  [/quote]
