In a CNN Interview, Senate Majority Mitch McConnell was asked if Republicans would continue to refuse to hold a hearing for Merrick Garland even if Clinton or Sanders became president. His answer? Yes. Has this gone beyond "political strategy?"
Tell Republicans in Congress: Justice before Politics. Do your job, serve the people. If you have grounds to reject the nominee, state them. Otherwise, git er done!
Yes. In spite of what a couple of folks have said below, this is *not* how the system is designed to work. This is deliberate obfuscation at its very worst. It's unprincipled.
What do you have that says this is not how the system is supposed to work besides your personal opinion? I have the Constitution, which says the Senate shall give its advice and consent to SCOTUS nominees. Their refusal to consider the nominee is in fact their decision to NOT give consent.
McConnell has gone senile for sure. He wears his crown just like Reid did. IMHO, he's a cantankerous old fart stuck at the age of 2 - the "no" stage. If he doesn't want to do his job and work then why not just retire?
If you said yes then you don't know political history and that stuff like this happened several times. Nothing new is occurring just checks and balances taking effect preventing one side from control.
