It's really ridiculous to make a reasoned argument for why Trump should fill the seat or not.

Stir stir stir the pot, gently with your ass.
Merrily merrily, merril. . . .





PSA: if the GOP had voted on Obama's nomination, nobody would be speaking. The only reason the GOP is criticized is that they're lying about their prior fake rationale to justify breaking it. And all the Trumpist scum can do is play it for but we say the Dems would do the same thing even though they did not do the same thing so alternate-Dems MADE US DO IT!.

Think about what it says of a party that their only justification ever seems to be "look at what you made me do!"

Partisans are hypocrites by nature.

Its not at all difficult to make the reason why he should. He should because its his job...its what the Consittiion calls for. Demands, even. Just as it is the Senates job to vote to confirm or deny and it literally has **** all to do with tenure of office.

Simple
the Republicans have control of the nomination process for now
When the democrats have control this will be corrected

The purpose of the process is to put people on the court in good faith, not to game the system by not doing their jobs to prevent seats being filled. Because McConnell so completely gamed the system, trump has put the second most judges on courts - stacking them - of any president by this time in his presidency. In less than one term, he has appointed 30% of the appeals court judges. You are defending corruption.

The purpose of the system is to preserve power for the American people instead of for the political parties. There is no "right" for a president to have his nominees approved and over the yeasrs we've had a number of excellent nominees either rejected or withdraw before the approval process because they could see the writing on the wall.

Completely BS, not honest statement. The American people elected Barack Obama. The Republicans denying him nominating anyone took power away from the people, purely for their own partisan political power. That's all it was, and you defending it is defending an attack on American democracy and dishonesty.
