Do they not even see it?

[Stumpy 284]

The GOP senators getting all self righteous about getting Gorsuch confirmed - do they not even see the hypocrisy? It's staggering.

Looking through Harry Reid's glasses...it looks just fine.

[wolfriverjoe 1,496]

No.

Trump is president. He has the "right" to get consent for his nominee.

They didn't give "consent" to Obama and his nominee because...

The Rs didn't think he should have any rights.

Bingo


here are just using the Reid rule.
The one he used to stack the DC court!

That said
Getting rid of the stupid rule puts them back were they were just 70 years ago or so.

The OP here has no idea of what he posts.......

The only hypocrisy shown is from the Dems.
The OP needs to remember that advise and consent was to make sure a pick was qualified. It was not meant to push for an ideology (which the Dems are doing now)
He is exceptionally qualified. The vote should be a no brainer. But then, Schumer is a no brainer.......

Actually
You do not know either.

At bit of history will set you straight but then, you don't care about the truth so I know you will not bother.

The Republicans did what Joe Biden said they should do.

And that was to follow a long running president.

Well to be fair, President Obama is the only President that I can recall running or jogging.
Seems to have kept him in excellent health.

Actually, GWB was an avid runner.

Anyway, I suspected that Rush would pull a full 180 and I was not disappointed. As usual for him, R's can do no wrong, and if it looks like they are doing wrong it is only because D's did it first. When D's do the same thing, however, he's outraged and tries to make a noble Constitutional argument. The hypocrisy is staggering.

Well great then

Show us all where the Constitution is stomped on here?

In a word, you can not do that.

But then you have proven your lack of historical knowledge here more than once.

BTW, where is the 180?

>Anyway, I suspected that Rush would pull a full 180 and I was not disappointed.

He didn't pull a 180; he's been quite consistent.

If Republicans do it, no matter what it is, he defends it to the death. He makes excuses, blames other people, claims "but Clinton did it first" etc. And when it finally falls apart completely, he says "well I never supported it to begin with."

If Democrats do it, no matter what it is, it is bad. It's evil, unconstitutional, illegal etc. And if it is so good that there's no way to do that, then he credits republicans for it.

He's the perfect Trump Republican.

If true, you are a perfect democratic drone.

That's funny.

Orrin Hatch said:

Quote

"(Obama) could easily name Merrick Garland, who is a fine man," Hatch said in Newsmax, adding later, "He probably won't do that because this appointment is about the election."

And when Obama went and did just that, the Rs threw a tantrum.

Actually a "180" is a "proper" symmetry operation. Rushmc doesn't do 180s. Like Alice, he does "mirrors", which are "improper" in that parity is not conserved. (Yes, I used to teach this stuff).

Odd that a mirror gives even symmetry.
