What does it say? Do you know the history behind the filibuster before you said this ?

What did it say when Harry Reid did it?

Just following the Democrats precedence. It's all good.

 

In addition, can name the last time a supreme court justice was not confirmed? The republicans played along with far more liberal Kagan and Sotomayor, than Gorsuch is conservative. The Dems are digging their own grave. I just can't wait for them to fall in it.

And refusing to even bring a Supreme Court nomination to the floor is playing along??

They followed the Biden Doctrine from when he said a president in the final year of his term shouldn't name a Supreme Court nominee.

They were the majority party. They could do what they wanted. Just like when Reid envoked the nuclear option. When they were in the minority, they definitely played along with Supreme Court picks.

I would say that the last election showed that Americans wanted change from the status quo and currently all BOTH sides are doing is maintaining the status quo. Every one wants one side to give a little when it's their side demanding the other side give.

 

So democrats will be the opposite of the status quo. Republicans would be ahead if they extended a hand to democrats.

Please research what you are accusing Biden of...it's not close to what you are saying.

You mean like they did when they rammed Obamacare down our throats. The Democrats are every bit as guilty of ideological inflexibility as the Republicans are.

You seem to think I am wrong in my thinking, that Joe Biden didn't say that a president in his final year shouldn't name a Supreme Court nominee, please educate me.

You are right and they lost elections. The same will happen to Republicans.

I'll own it, but there is some gray in there. 4 months of confirmation proceedings would be smack dab in the head of an election.
