    Why is it "politizing the Supreme Court" when Conservatives want to block a liberal justice being appointed but when liberals wish to block a conservative being appointed it is the Senate doing "their duty" and/or "exercising due diligence"

    Isn't that grossly hypocritical, unfair, and to put it bluntly...un-American?

    Life isn't fair. The media slants far to the left and it shapes the political discussion.

    there wasn't constant obsessing against any kreepy con president, nothing like the decades of mind boggling hate against the left the never right have divided this country with, nothing comparable

    Because conservatives fall for that nonsense of "don't politicize" all the time. Just laugh at anybody saying that, and ignore them.

    It's true that liberals have blocked SC nominations.

    But I am going to say, as I did in another thread, that I am going to laugh my a** off if Republicans block an Obama appointment only
    to face a President Sanders appointee next year ...

    There's likely the blueprint that you will see again, regardless of who Obama tries to get through, they can be rejected from now until Nov...

    I'm totally willing to take that chance, my prediction is Pres. Cruz would pardon prisoner Clinton, and nominate a conservative judge. This is fun...

    Repubs never block appointees, judicial or otherwise? Really?

    Do you have any other bare-faced lies to tell today?

    Barack Obama is still President, so, he gets to appoint a Justice to fill the vacancy. It is un-American not to allow Obama to appoint the next Supreme Court Justice.
