nominating a SC post-election defeat

[Aristaeus]

"Nowhere in that document (the Constitution) does it say the Senate has a duty to give presidential nominees a vote."

-- Harry Reid

He just keeps coming back to bite Democrats in the ass.

The GOPs argument was that a President shouldn't pick a SC in an election year. Now all of a sudden, they want the President to pick a SC in an election year.

LOL, thought so. Part of the problem might me the age and malleability of the document; perhaps the sleaziness of senator McConnell. But I'm guessing "The Constitution TM" is to modern conservatives whatever they want it to be in the moment.

Nope. The Constitution is very clear in what it says.

Please don't project your attitudes onto me. You'll get slapped down every time you do.

The Dems argument was that it's ok to ignore a President's picks so long as it's only them doing it.
