The constitutionalists should know that a SCOTUS nominee is confirmed by the Senate and not every four years in a general election. With control of the Senate, it should little problem to deny approval but if an up or down vote is taken Republican senators would appear more foolish than they already are.

People tossed your old GOP out with the trash where it belongs. I've been watching this "conservative movement" since the Contract with America came and went and it's been an unmitigated disaster. <br />You can either sit on the sidelines pissing and moaning about something that never was or get with the new movement. Either way the train is leaving the station. <br />Your either the one hanging on the cross or the one driving in the nails Ogden.

I think Garland ought to get a fair hearing. And I think there ought to be an up or down vote on the record. I don't care whether the Democrats stalled or didn't stall a hearing in the past. This is now. Trump may nominate someone more shocking to your senses, McConnell. You're making a big mistake refusing to sign off on this nominee. Makes you look hateful. Trump is winning because people of tired of the way Washington does stuff like this. Up or down on the nominee.

With all the excitement and interest in ideas taking place why expect to lose the Senate? Seems a lot of people are pretty sure the Establishment Republicans are owned by the same people who own Clinton. It might be unfair comparison but Truman ran against a "do nothing" Congress.....what has this current Congress accomplished for us?

Just...A moderate? Stop drinking the Kool-Aid, Paul. Just because the liberal media describes him as a moderate doesn't make him one. He's always ran with the elitist, liberal Washington crowd. The guy was a mentee of Jamie Gorelick. Do you know who she is? She's the gal who got to sit in judgment of her own inactions as a member of the 9/11 Commission and lied about close to $10 billion in losses incurred by Fannie Mae when she was the number two person in charge of the agency. Breyer was also described as a moderate when he was appointed, but he's been consistently one of the most liberal members of the court. Gary R.
