There’s no doubt that Justice Antonin Scalia has left some big shoes to fill, and with Republicans facing pressure from both sides of the aisle to have a hearing and vote on President Obama’s nomination of Judge Merrick Garland, many believe that the ice is beginning to crack, so to speak.
Six Republican senators said they would meet with Garland, including Senator Kelly Ayotte (R-NH), taking the first step towards either voting him in or giving a convincing reason to say no.
The Republican party has had no shortage of divide and quarrel between themselves and their opponents over the course of President Obama’s two terms. And while some view their refusal to vote as political antics others are seeing it as them not doing their jobs. One thing can be said for sure about the situation, this vote isn’t going to happen with McConnell giving in first.
See what Senator Chuck Schumer (D-NY) said about it on the next page.
THEY BETTER NOT OR THEY WILL LOSE IN THE END !!!!!! GOP BE VERY CAREFUL !!!! # TOA
He was Her Mentor.
Vote Schumer out
Jim, I know the history of both parties. And since Nixon’s southern strategy, and the Democrats abandoning Jim Crow and voting for civil rights and voting rights, the two parties have switched places. Now the Democrats are for rights for all, and republicans are for voter suppression, segregation, and hate for having a black president elected twice by a majority if the electorate.
That’s why I say we need to get away from this stupidity and get back to the basic principles of the republican party

Lincoln created free colleges, Teddy Roosevelt gave us our national parks and broke up monopolies, Eisenhower defended civil rights and through big government, created jobs and gave us the interstate hiway system
not so fast ya spineless amoeba
Congress makes the laws. The president enforces the law only. Supreme Court Justices interpret the law and Obama has placed a Supreme Court Justice not capable of interpreting the Constitutional law properly the Supreme Court Justices cannot sit for Life terms.
I think Schumer is correct they will end up voting and confirming Obama’s pick.
