[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] The Senate can block a nomination for as long as they wish: if it acts in a reckless way the price to be paid would be at the next election where those blocking the confirmation of ANY candidate might have to pay a price - assuming the electorate is disgusted with the behavior. Blocking any nomination endlessly is indefensible but the price to be exacted would be by the voters. With regard to the Garland nomination, that is the risk the Republicans face with senate seats that are potentially in play - and they are aware of it.[/quote] Yes they can try to block it. But these are the senate seats up for re-election in 2016: [img]https://ballotpedia.org/wiki/images/thumb/4/40/Senate_2016_Elections_Map.png/650px-Senate_2016_Elections_Map.png[/img] [/quote] A meaningless map: what matters is which seats are at risk. Now the Republicans have several vulnerable seats but most of the seats are safe.[/quote]
