Biden Calls Trump's US Supreme Court Push 'Abuse Of Power'

So they didn't actually do that but in order to make your case what if they actually did??

Just state simply "we know what we said, it doesn't matter now because we've got a chance at more power" I'd have so much more respect than all the mental gymnastics being played

 

And what would that say about the the best and brightest of both parties that Trump beat with such ease?

"Is there a way out? And we saw that around the country people are not hopeful. They’re very aware that this person pulled off something unimaginable. To have someone who appears to be an idiot beat the smartest person ever to run for the president of the United States, that takes some evil genius and for him to outsmart us is part of our pain, I think".

Tee hee, you funny man.

 

Your right about the law, but 'can't we all just try to get along' ?

 

You never know.

 

Yes, we have a choice between two absolute morons.

 

"More power"? Trump is just exercising the constitutional power he already has.
That is his job.

 

Well, you are probably half right. Progress.

 

“Abusing power” by literally doing what you are supposed to.

Lefty logic.

 

Have Republicans ever rioted after a Democrat won an election?

 

Judicial Committee.

 

Why wouldn’t they expand the court at this point? Who has the power to set the size of the court?

 

there isn’t one for court size either, just saying

 

The committee headed by Graham...who said:
Graham said that Supreme Court vacancies should never be filled in an presidential election year[87], and that “We are setting a precedent today, Republicans are."[88]He said that if a similar situation arose, "you can use my words against me and you’d be absolutely right."[

 

yep but his boss overruled him last year. The Leader

 

I didn't say it was illegal - I said it would be an abuse of power, and it's not like a Democrat hasn't considered this before.

There is no norm being dismissed here. Numerous presidents have nominated judges to the SCOTUS during an election year (including Obama) and the Senate's refusal to consent to Obama's nomination did not set a precedent, either.

Yes, I can, and if they're serious about doing it they should tell the American people they're going to go Full Banana Republic and see what it gets them.

 

Lol so it wasn’t the committee as you just said. it’s the Mitch Rule. We only confirm nominees we like.

 

Why? Republicans didn’t tell us in 2016 they were only going to block dem nominees in the last year.

 

Exactly. Their concern with deficits always go away with a republican president, why would this be any different?

 

There is absolutely no reason for Trump not to nominate. Its his constitutional obligation.

 

It certainly would be consistent on their part. It's not like Demokrats haven't spent the past four years trying to steal what they couldn't earn at the ballot box in 2016.

Perhaps, they should try to winning the upcoming elections and hope Clarence Thomas leaves a vacancy they can fill?

And that brings us back to who and what really brought us here - RBG and her decision not to step down while Obama was in office.

 

Me too! As many Conservatives Justices as we can place on the Supreme Court!! So far, so good!

 

If it isn’t written as a rule then there is no abuse of power as the Republicans have shown

It wasn’t the Senate, they didn’t vote
It was Mitch

You do not know what a Banana Republic is if you believe following the limits of the constitution is one.

 

Obviously you mean win the senate and the presidency as that’s apparently the only way a dem gets to fill a vacancy.
Oh well, they’ll likely expand the court as the constitution gives them power to do.

 

I'm talking on here
