There's no Constitutional requirements for being on the SCOTUS.  The big wigs made up some phony qualifications to exclude everyone who isn't in their club.

It's one of those traditions that the republicunts love to talk about..... when it suits their nefarious purposes.

The smart thing would be to smack them in the face at the first wiff of that by going on tv and naming them by name as plotters who are trying to stage a coup and send the US Marshals in to arrest them as domestic enemies of the US.

To be fair, Obama is weak.

Congressional Republicans reiterated on Wednesday that they have no intention of taking any action on President Barack Obama's Supreme Court pick — a defiant position that foreshadows a tense confirmation fight.

These fools are even dumber than they seem. According to the same article, 55% of Americans disapprove of their stonewalling. It will hurt their Senators up for reelection. ...

In some states, this probably endears them to the electorate.  But I can tell you for a fact that in Pennsylvania this has significantly negatively affected Senator Pat Toomey's chances for reelection this fall.

Don't worry, my friend.  If this be the end, then so shall it be.

Well, looks like Garland was active (to what extent I'm not sure yet) in the Clinton (Bill) presidential campaign back in the day, so the 'centrist' thing is out the window as far as the pubs are concerned.

And, we are going to see replay after replay of Biden voicing what is now being called "The Biden Rule" when he was in the senate, and even if he did 'walk it back' in his next sentence or too, the media has their sound bite and they aren't going to drop it.

There is a pattern, members of one party voice or do something, then get all hissy when the other party goes there too. Harry Reid and changing th senate rules on confirmations springs to mind. Harry even had his nose rubbed in it at the fucking time and still did it. And now Biden is in the club . . .

Fuckers and twats as far as eye can see . .
 The granting of a pardon is an imputation of guilt, and the acceptance a confession of it.
