13. Thanks ...

Don't know why, but most of KPete's links appear broken when I see them on DU.

6. And he was the name Mitch McConnell gave to President Obama...

Last edited Mon Sep 17, 2018, 10:10 PM - Edit history (2)

when the President went to him and asked him who he could nominate that the Republicans in the Senate would vote for. (I think. Trying to find the article that mentions this.)

Mitch lied his fucking ass off, of course. (This part is true, though.)

On edit: After further research, I cannot find the original article about this. I was wrong. Apologies to all.

7. Mitch McConnell has said that his holding up this nomination was the greatest thing

that he has ever done in his years in the Senate... Mitch lied his fucking ass off yes, and if we get a majority in the Senate...Mitch will be treated the way he treated Obama..which was awful beyond words..that is no words could express clearly the way Mitch treated Obama...none..no fucking words.

9. He can do one thing I'd consider better.

Keel over and croak.

18. And be replaced by a liberal

with socialist leanings and LGBTQ pride.

19. Did he really do this?

And if he did, why didn't the media hold his feet to the fire for it? Liberal media my *** !!!

20. I believe so. I'm trying to find a link.

(coulda' sworn I had one here)

On edit: I cannot find the article, but I will keep looking.

21. Mitch VoldeConnell

aka Benedict McConnell is the biggest f**king traitor this country has seen since the civil war.

I want him to die in excruciating, agonizing, drawn out pain.

8. True dat!

10. President Obama should have sent federal marshals in to the senate to arrest that

asshole McConnell. Another possibility is sue his ass in court for failure to uphold his duty "to uphold ... the Constitution." It is and was his duty to fill the SCOTUS vacancy with deliberate speed.

11. What Obama should have done

was withdrawn Garland early on, then nominated somebody similar and told them, "This nominee is sent to the Senate for advise and consent. If the Senate does not complete the process of advising and consenting within 60 days, they will have waived their right and the nominee will be considered confirmed for the open seat."

14. Yours is the better idea. Puts the onus on the Senate/McConnell to respond.

I just like the idea of McConnell doing a perp walk in front of lots of cameras.

[NewJeffCT]

15. I love that idea of McConnell being frog-marched

and, the idea I posted was not mine. There were a few articles in late spring/early Summer 2016 that said that Obama should have put some sort of time limit on Garland to get a hearing.

Plenty of SCOTUS judges have been rejected before, but never had one not gotten so much as a hearing like Garland.

12. Funny how that works out...

16. Kicked and recommended.
