McConnell cries foul after 2 Democratic judges cancel retirement after Trump victory

[Aletheia]

Fool me once shame on me -
Fool me twice....

... Uh, not this time.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
McConnell called the unusual decisions to forgo retirement following Trump’s sweeping victory last month a “partisan” gambit that would undermine the integrity of federal courts.

“They rolled the dice that a Democrat could replace them, and now that he won’t, they’re changing their plans to keep a Republican from doing it,” McConnell said on the Senate floor.

“It’s a brazen admission. And the incoming administration would be wise to explore all available recusal options with these judges, because it’s clear now that they have a political finger on the scale,” he said.

 

[multivita-man]

Sorry, Turtle, tricks are for kids.

 

[Safiel]

Perhaps I should mention the several Judges that announced senior status, once it became clear Trump would win.

McTurtle is the last person on Earth who should gripe about this. The f***in arrogance from this asshat is unreal.

That's rich, coming from Mitch.

He's just pissed because he didn't think of it.

McConnell may be the most unprincipled and hypocritical pol from the old guard. He just can't keep up with the new kids.

 

[Mycroft]

Regardless anyone's opinion of McConnell, he IS correct. This is nothing other than blatant partisanship on the part of those judges. Not only should they be ashamed of themselves, every decision they make should be appealed because they have proven to be partisan.

Right, maybe they just need to get on the payroll of right wing billionaires to become unbiased

As "blatantly partisan" as McConnell's refusal to give Obama's SCOTUS pick a hearing?

I had a similar reaction: McConnell is trying to remain relevant in MAGAland.

Tough shit for Trump's Bitch Mitch.

I'm happy with that so long as we - YOU - hold Roberts, Thomas, Alito and Gorsuch to the same standard.

Tough shit for mitch. He got scotus.

That's impossible.

They either stay on the bench or they retire. If they retire...they leave. They can't take it back.

Like EVERYONE does not already know that the judicial branch has been politicized for years. Judges have made it obvious in recent history they are blatantly corrupt removing any doubt, if anyone had any. So it's not surprise they reversed their intention to desire after Trump won.

What I found more disgusting is McConnels reveal that the Senate Republicans cut a deal to help Democrats get 12 Biden appointed judges in exchange for 4 Trump appointed judges. That is a flagrant admission of party sabotage and he is announcing it to everyone. He is one arrogant Asshole.

Gosh, remember when they wouldn't let Obama place a Supreme Court Justice because it was near the end of his term?

My god, this shit is so easy to throw back in your face.

Cult

I assume that you apply this same standard to every judge position McConnell held open until a Republican took the white house. Might as well impeach them all, right?

Nope.

Apples and oranges based on what you think about McConnell.

What part of "Regardless anyone's opinion of McConnell, he IS correct." do you not understand?

This comes from Ol' Mitch who denied even considering Supreme court Justices 1 year before an election, etc, etc

 

[Pyrite]

Not at all. McConnell denied Obama's SCOTUS pick a hearing.

Now, that was flagrant partisanship on the Speaker's part....don't you agree?

 

[BabaVoss]

Mitch is annoyed that someone is doing what he did? Huh.

Wasn't that near. More than 10 months. McConnell wouldn't even bring it to an up/down vote. Or hearings.

 

[NWRatCon]

As "blatantly partisan" as McConnell's refusal to give Obama's SCOTUS pick a hearing?

Or shoving through Barrett after losing the election?

 

[Checkerboard Strangler]

We might soon see the day where eight or nine Republicans in House and Senate switch parties.
