President Obama is the first 2-term president to get a 7 year term, whereas all others were 8 years....President Reagan had a Supreme Court confirmation in 1988, his eight year (Anthony Kennedy)...

That's the sign of group ethics. Play by the rules and accomplish your ends in such a way that both the accomplishments and you are above disgrace or criticism. It used to be the ideal of all Americans regardless of party, but now it's important that at least half of us cherish such ideals.

A Trump appointment will, most likely, return the court to a 4-4 tie with a non-ideologue justice in Kennedy being the swing vote. Seems pretty fair to me, representing the split down the middle nationally.

...the DNC which screwed over Bernie? Do you see ANY outrage by libs here over that?

lots of liberal outrage around the country.  They think the results "prove" he would have beaten Trump.  I'm not so sure.  Hillary was pretty easy on him and the Republican oppo would have spent plenty of time smearing him as a died-in-the-wool Socialist while the alt-right made sure all the rednecks knew he was a Jew.  The day a nearly 80-year-old Socialist Jew becomes our President is not in sight.

And you are also wrong to refer to me as a "Lib." But that conversation never gets through to conservatives. Everything is binary.

Having said that, I don't think most people care about the Supreme Court.

They thought it was terribly arrogant of him and never forgot it, using it to justify their "just say no" approach to dealing with him.  And he had a supermajority in the Senate.  It's what winners say to losers.  But like then and now, the worm always turns.  The pendulum always swings.  So it might be a good idea to dial back on the gloating.

You may have heard, I was not, and am not the biggest Trump fan in the world.  

And I can point out the blatant hypocrisy how Dems talk about "fairness" all day long in PUBLIC, but don't practice it in private.

There is MORE than enough there to keep cops busy.  

First, The present Senate has stolen nothing. Everything they've done has been constitutional.

Thanks for inserting some factuality into this liberal, "the sky is falling" hysteria. Not in my long lifetime have I seen such whining and overt temper tantrum throwing after an election that was won fair and square (despite overwhelming main stream media bias for HRC).  Not even after Mayor Daly of Chicago truly stole the election for JFK by inserting thousands of votes from verified dead people to swing the Illinois vote away from Nixon at the last moment. Didn't see anyone taking to the streets over that.

...are needed under cloture rules to stop a filibuster by the Dems so that the nomination could go to the floor for a vote.  Theoretically, the Dems could stop a vote on a Supreme Court nominee for four years (unless the GOP gets a super-majority in two years).  Barring a nuclear option by the GOP, I trust you will still be calmly saying: "Everything (the Dems) have done has been constitutional."

Abortion isn't going to be outlawed, look at the industry behind.

I can't think of a way to have made it any less fair, and I am sure it explains a lot of Bernie Bots staying home, they knew their guy got fucked. If Trump's claims of a "rigged system" were ever going to find a sympathetic ear, it was going to be from the millions of people who knew their own vote was stolen from them by that very same corrupt system.

Burning your own neighborhood down because the "wrong" guy got elected takes whining to a whole new level. I find it hilarious and as long as these losers don't try to burn my neighborhood down I can simply sit back and LMAO.  

I was in high school at the time, but i remember Bork very well...Yes he was nominated in July 1987, the senate takes its summer recess from early Aug til after Labor Day....He had his hearing and floor vote by mid Oct....So it was a timely and fair hearing.....Merrick Garland hasn't even had a SJC hearing let alone a committee and final floor vote...
And remember, Bork's final vote was 58-42 against, with SIX Republicans voting against him.....The prior year, Scalia was confirmed 98-0, so that shows how far out of mainstream Bork was....

I have no doubt the GOP will be whining just like the Dems and Harry Reid whined when they were in charge, and there is no arguing the Dems were whiny little bitches when they couldn't get out of their own way when they controlled the White House and BOTH houses of Congress.

Unless they live in Trump Tower or in a large bank, or on a city bus.  They may be idiots but they are not so stupid as to burn down the shitty neighborhood where they live.  After dwelling in refrigerator boxes during "Occupy Wall Street," they are at least smart enough to know they don't want to do that again.

but that didn't stop them from enjoying their café lattes at Starbucks on Mommy and Daddies credit card while living in the park. and remember what happened after the first cold snap? That signaled the end of Occupy Wall St. They just don't make protestors like they used to. lol

Flunk college when they become protestors?

BLM, and their weak kneed, politically correct leader, HRC, lost.  

Fools like Bill Gates, Steve Jobs, Mike Zuckerberg, and yours truly.

I'm talking about wasting time protesting, instead of learning.

He's a major executive

If the Dems filibuster a Supreme Court nominee the Republicans will vote to get rid of the filibuster and permit a nominee's name to be brought to the floor by simple majority.  The Dems will scream bloody murder and the Reps will be sanctimonious hypocrites about it but it will happen.  And it's an archaic rule that, like the Electoral College, needs to go.  The difference is no Constitutional Amendment is needed to do it.
Remember, a couple of years ago the Dems voted out the filibuster for certain nominations while the Republicans peed their pants.

and all career politicians realize the pendulum swings back and forth which is why the establishment were dead set against both Sanders and Trump, as neither of them wanted to "play by the rules"  

Dems set the precedent and the R's can get political cover by saying so.

But Congress is made up mainly of career politicians who know full well how quickly public sentiment and their careers can change.

Are you trying to take FattieGirl's place with the stupid memes? I thought you'd given them up. Guess not. What can we do to get him back to make both of us look better?
