Dem Senator Hirono: SCOTUS Seat Could Stay Vacant for Two Years
Hawaii Sen. Mazie Hirono (D.) said Democrats could keep the open seat on the Supreme Court vacant until after the 2020 election if Brett Kavanaugh's nomination collapses and Democrats regain control of the Senate in November.

Hirono pointed to the long vacancy of Antonin Scalia's former seat as a justification for holding off on confirming any nominee from President Donald Trump. When Barack Obama was president and Republicans held the Senate, Sen. Majority Leader Mitch McConnell did not hold a vote on Obama's nominee Merrick Garland, and Hirono said Democrats could do the same if they had the Senate.

"I think we’ve had those kinds of vacancies before, and we certainly had over a one-year vacancy with Merrick Garland," Hirono told Politico Magazine. "So the world does not come to an end because we don’t fill all of the nominees."

Our country is polorized that our gov cant even do the job it was put in place to do.

 

[GOPerfect]

Real shame that these fucking Libtards hate the United States so much.

Just die

 

[ProgSpear]

Screw it. Confirm the guy and let the Dems melt down. If they don’t like it, cite Ted “Lifeguard” Kennedy, and Kieth “Wifebeater” Ellison.

 

[Blimey]

He’s right if the dems win senate and Brett falls apart, that’s that.

 

[Steal2B]

LAME DUCK CONFIRMATION before Jan 2019 could not be stopped if dems turn the Senate in 2018. Only multiple RINOs could stop it.

Just ram him through. Honestly we’re talkong about what this lady says happen in 1982. 19 freaking 82. He is not the same man he was when he was 18 years old and I truely don’t believe this ladies story. I hate to say that because sexual assault is very serious and very wrong, but I just don’t believe it.

 

[Phritz]

Get kavanaugh through, nominate and confirm a few more. Nothing says there must be nine justices.
Just to see some heads explode.

No fuck that. She is full of shit. Even if, huge even if, this story is true.... A bunch of drunken students getting it on at a party. Not everything falls under sexual assault. I am so GD sick of all of this shit.

Whether stories like this or of boys being touched by a Pervert Priest, 40, 50, 60 years later.... Bullshit. So if I run for office tday, they are going to dig up the past back to the 80's when I was in school. Piss off.

Our country is polorized that our gov cant even do the job it was put in place to do.

So, then by our founding documents, it is time for the people to abolish this government.

You forgot: B.J. (William Jefferson) Clinton and B. Hussein "Choom Gang" Obama.

Trump will get this through..I believe the Republicans are getting tired of the BS....the light,although dim,is coming on

IDK, I'm losing faith, (what little I have) that they will do right by this president. IF they fail to confirm him I fear the GOP will lose big-time in the upcoming election, how many times can the voters be kicked in the crotch before they just say fuck it and not bother. It seems we're damned if we do and damned if we don't.

Many of these RINOs I think are just looking for an excuse to not vote for BK just to spite Trump.

I'm so sick of the bullshit the leftards and the media's games and the Republicans failure to stand up to it.
Trump has shown these people how to play the game but they don't seem to have the spine for it, it just pisses me off to no end.

Dammit, now I'm never gonna get to sleep!

EXACTLY this dumb retarded senator Hirono from HI said it is law that nine justices are in place, that number is not set in stone and she received her law degree from Georgetown, that does not say much for her "education" aka indoctrination.

You forgot: B.J. (William Jefferson) Clinton and B. Hussein "Choom Gang" Obama.

Whoops. My bad.
