plantmanky Posted February 14, 2016 Share Posted February 14, 2016 Very sad to hear. Will be interesting to see if the Senate will stall any confirmation till after the election or not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Twotoplace Posted February 14, 2016 Share Posted February 14, 2016 McConnell has already said that he's going to play stall ball. What a surprise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
All Tell Posted February 14, 2016 Share Posted February 14, 2016 McConnell has already said that he's going to play stall ball. What a surprise. He watched Harry Reid do it while he was leader. Surely you don't have any issue with McConnell using the same tactics as Reid do you? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hellcats Posted February 14, 2016 Share Posted February 14, 2016 I'm certain Mitch just wants Hillary or Bernie or Trump or Cruz to pick the next justice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Surely you don't have any issue with McConnell using the same tactics as Reid do you? I think it's ironic and comical that McConnell is planning a constitutional end run not to replace the most ardent constitutionalist on the high court.

I think it's funny that when McConnell uses the same tactics Reid did that libs get their knickers in a knot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mcpapa Posted February 14, 2016 Share Posted February 14, 2016 The longest it has ever taken to confirm a Supreme Court nominee is 125 days. Obama has 361 days left in office. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dlbdonn Posted February 14, 2016 Share Posted February 14, 2016 McConnell ought to retire from the Senate like Reid is and join him in doing the country and this Commonwealth a huge favor . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OlDog75 Posted February 14, 2016 Share Posted February 14, 2016 Maybe there will be some "executive order" and Scalia's spot will be filled in a week. Nothing would surprise me with present administration. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
