Right! After he loses, he shouldn't be making those decisions. But until then, he is fully allowed to.

Otherwise, maybe we shouldn't let a president make decisions in his 3rd year also? Maybe also in his 2nd year?
But BO never lost as was voted in to make those decisions and he wasn't allowed to.

Indeed. But Senate - who was also voted in - decided that he shouldn't be allowed to.

My point only was that there is a tremendous distinction between what happened four years ago and a theoretical nomination before the election, and McConnell is NOT a hypocrite if he confirms said theoretical nomination.

Whether it was the right decision four years ago is not my point. I'm honestly not sure about that. I personally think that there should be some measures to ensure a more balanced decision, like a mandated 60 votes (I don't like that Republicans abolished that). I think Garland may have been a great Justice.

That is so dramatically wrong! Why won't Senate confirm the nominee of a lame duck president? Because he is no longer relevant. He's just setting policy for his successor. But when someone still have a 50/50 chance of remaining in office, why in the world shouldn't they be able to nominate someone??

Your passion for this is coming through strongly but explaining svoros to me is not going to change anything. I haven't even taken sides here, I'm just telling you that it's a non starter in the court of public opinion.

Let me make this simple. Whoever is the president makes the decision. Bake the pretzel whatever way you want.
The senate does not represent the voice of the people.

Meh. Those who said it should be done promptly would all say to push it off and those who pushed it off would say to do it propmptly and nobody else would care at all.

No, the president with the advice and consent of the Senate makes the decision.

Do you honestly believe that any R senator would say to push it off or that any D senator would say to quickly approve?

We have checks and balances as it should be. They failed to there job by never allowing a nomination.
My point was the senate does not represent the voice of the people. It gives states equal say.

Did you forget that Mitt Romney is a R senator?

I am talking about nominating someone but as usual your hate just turns to constant attack. Keep those posts coming as your picture is 100% accurate!!!

How can you compare someone who losses with someone who didn't? By the fact he lost tells you the voters don't want him making these decisions.

account hacked?

I'm a big believer in holistic medicine. I really think that her mental motivation will prevail over any physical ailment she might suffer from. Hence DJT in office will provide her with the mental strength to overcome any physical ailment.

I've been waiting over 5 years with bated breath for someone to say that!

oh dear. hope the chemo helps her.
it says there she had pancreatic cancer as well as colon cancer- does anyone know if one bout of cancer can potentially bring another or is it totally random? is someone at risk of getting a diff form after getting one form?
nothings impossible- the word itself says Im possible

Cancers are known to spread.
