"The American people should have a voice in the selection of their next Supreme Court Justice. Therefore, this vacancy should not be filled until we have a new president."
Perfect, no?
They are having a choice: they elected the president and the Senate. The president and the Senate should appoint a new justice.
Just like they did in 2016?
Exactly right. The Senate said, "Neh! We ain't votin' on him". See how that works?
dude. the OP is McConnel's actual words from 2016.
i just embarrassed the shit outta you and it was really fun.
Try this out instead."The American people should have a voice in the selection of their next Supreme Court Justice. Therefore, this vacancy should not be filled until we have a new president."

See, here's the problem. It was NOT the GOP's job to rubberstamp Obummer's pick of a far left whackjob for the SCOTUS. Since the Constitution says 'Advise and Consent" regarding the Senate's role, I believe telling Oblamer to kiss their collective ass, fulfills that role.
I picked up on that right away, was smiling when I read it. The "Republican" party are hypocrites, they really don't give a damn about the American people if it doesn't serve their personal interests and career or financial goals. They are unpatriotic trash, take out the trash in November.dude. the OP is McConnel's actual words from 2016.

They didn't stonewall. They were straight forward with the position that they were not going to conduct a hearing for his concideration.nah, they just stonewalled for 9 months because they hated him. that's all it was.
iLOLand, now, their own words come back to haunt them (well, not really. they have no integrity).

no, just doing the job they were elected to do. Oppose Obama and the Democrats at all costs, as they should.yeah, they stonewalled. for NINE months.
this stuff isn't that hard. they're just hypocrites.
It's kind of ridiculous to wait four years to fill this vacancy when we have a new president."The American people should have a voice in the selection of their next Supreme Court Justice. Therefore, this vacancy should not be filled until we have a new president."

Little is known about the anonymous donors who are funding JCN, but the group has ties to Leonard Leo, a Catholic fundamentalist and longtime executive at the Federalist Society who is one of Trump’s top outside judicial advisers. According to a 2018 Daily Beast investigation, Leo is at the center of the secretive JCN, which has been successful in boosting two other conservative judges to the Supreme Court—Samuel Alito and John Roberts—in addition to Gorsuch and Kavanaugh.
JCN also has ties to a number of other conservative groups with a vested interest in the Senate quickly confirming a Trump pick, including the National Rifle Association. JCN contributed $250,000 to the NRA in 2018, on top of $1 million it gave the group in 2016 and 2017, according to OpenSecrets. Another nonprofit group with ties to Leo, the public policy think tank America Engaged, gave $950,000 to the NRA in 2017, and the NRA ran ads in support of both Gorsuch and Kavanaugh.

Ummmmmmmmmm, no. Both Ginsburg and Schumer both said to wait until the next president. We aren't going to wait four more years to fill a supreme court vacancy.he's saying to wait until after this election.
Ummmmmmmmmm, no. Both Ginsburg and Schumer both said to wait until the next president. We aren't going to wait four more years to fill a supreme court vacancy.
When McConnell said that, there was going to be a next president that election. Obama's second term was ending. There was going to be a next president! With this election there may not be a next president for four more years. We're not waiting four more years to fill a vacancy.dude. the OP is McConnell's words and he's saying that we needed to wait until after the next election since we were oh so close (nine months away). Schumer just tweeted them word for word.
you embarrassed yet?
No."The American people should have a voice in the selection of their next Supreme Court Justice. Therefore, this vacancy should not be filled until we have a new president."
