History Is on the Side of Republicans Filling a Supreme Court Vacancy in 2020

Now, stop calling the Republicans 'hypocrites' over this.

There are countless quotes of Democrats arguing the same thing, but that is ignored by Democrat supporters including the liberal media.

 

History might be. But the Republicans ignored that history four years ago as much as the Democrats want them to now. The Republicans effectively made that argument null and void. Precedent didn't matter then, when it was to the Republican's advantage. Now apparently it does. And that also makes sense from the perspective of Republican voters who were not a part of the political stunt 4 years ago and don't care about what specific Republican politicians may have said or done.

And don't get me wrong, I can see the Democrats doing the same thing the Republicans are if positions were reversed, especially the children who run the Democratic party right now.

Neither side, save for but a handful of people, has any integrity or credibility left right now. But since most of the same Republicans who were part of that decision 4 years ago are still in office today, it does make them hypocrites.

But then again, that's small potatoes considering the man we have in the White House and may end up having for another four years. Integrity, honesty, and credibility mean absolutely nothing to him, why should other politicians let it hinder them too?

 

The Republicans did not have the advantage when Obama was holding the WH. An advantage means they are the same party.

 

Which means nothing except for the arbitrary status it is given by those arguing in favor of doing whatever they want regardless of previous statements. The president and many of the Senators who will be voting on the new nominee are up for election this fall. With us being even closer to that day than we were in 2016, any reasoning on why they should wait in 2016 would be even more true today.

But like I said, they are trying to please their voters and their voters don't give a crap about what the politicians do or agree to. Seems like a lack of integrity across the board.

And also like I said, I see the Democrats making the same move, and their voters supporting it. But, that's a hypothetical while what the Republicans are doing is a reality.

 

After the Dem Party's leadership AND their media outlets turned a blind eye to Dem Party mayors standing down police departments so that a violent and radical segment of their voting constituency could freely riot, loot, commit arson and sometimes mug and murder for month after month Democrats in general should be hesitant to accuse any politician to the Right of them of lacking integrity, honesty, or credibility; and if that doesn't sway then look at the Dem Party political lynch mob AND their media outlets who tried like hell to destroy Justice Kavenaugh by using a woman who was obviously insane or an outright liar as their propaganda point person.

 

Trump is not any more or less dishonest and a scumbag than anyone in Washington. They are all equally scum. The trick is to keep the scum in power that will take the country in the direction you want it to go.

 

When Senate and WH are the same party, the Senate is likely to hold similar views as the POTUS, explaining why. So the argument that it is purely political is not accurate.

Furthermore, speaking of the electorate as a reason to wait implies ignoring those who elected the current mandate.

 

Romney just announced he will consider Trump's nominee.

 

Is he on the ballot this Nov? haha

 

What does that have to do with anything?

 

This is probably going to be a political mistake on Trump's part that will hurt close race GOP senators.

I do find it a bit sad to see people on the left proclaiming that the will block any nominee yet condemning the GOP senators for saying they will support any nominee.

 

The people of Utah rose up in song and sang him into compliance..... I really really don't think that Romeny has anyone else's best interests at heart. His not becoming president was likely a bullet the country dodged.

 

It is going to be interesting on how this plays out. It seems that Trump and his Republicans are making this push and in doing so, tips their hand on their confidence level of the upcoming elections. So far we have 2 Repblican Senators wanting to wait, as does the majority of the USA. It will be difficult for Republicans to campaign and hold these meetings without putting an effort to properly vet the nominated candidate for SC. If they do nominate, it will cost them some votes, IMHO.

 

Your post is the quintessential reason of why the Republican party has become the Trump party only !!!!!

 

He may be afraid to lose his seat if he goes against Trump.

 

I doubt you should think you're authoritative there. As a long time conservative voice, I would bet real money that my positions both haven't changed, but that the external view of them has. That mr Romney seems vastly more self centered and willing to actively run away from conservative policy, it is more likely that this is his problem, then mine. Ta.

 

Yeah, in 4 yrs, the Republican party went all in for Romney then to Trump, let alone calling Romney self centered. Ironic how you call others in politics radical

 

If they went all in he would not have lost....

 

Will wonders never cease...

 

Hmm... It kind of reminds one of how democrats today are flocking to dementia Joe. Good luck with that.

 

LOL... The LDS called and told him point blank, "don't be a schmuck"....

 

At least Biden can use 3 syllable words in a sentence.

 

um....ah.....um.... doesn't count. Just sayin.

 

Yeah, Mittens ain't in Massachusetts anymore.

 

Republican Senators are elected to confirm Republican judges to the federal courts.
Republican Senators are not elected to confirm Democrat judges.
