jimntx said:There's also the issue that the last time Senate Republicans decided to dig in their heels and refuse to confirm someone they thought "too liberal" and the time they decided to shut down the government instead of passing a budget bill, it backfired on them. Turns out the American people weren't nearly as dumb as the Republicans thought. The voters did not blame the President for the vacant seat on the court nor did they blame the President for the government shutdown, they blamed the people who did it--the Republican Senate and (in the case of the budget) the Republican House. Given how little they have once again accomplished in this Senate/House term, do they really want to risk the wrath of the voters again? It cost them some seats last time, and they don't have a big majority this time around.
You mean the wrath of the voters that gave them the House and the Senate? Thats some wrath! lol
Delusional as always.
