With 1 full year left on Obama's term.
Not only did he put Trump's nominee on the Supreme Court, but he also is rushing Trump's right wing wacko judicial nominees through to stack the judiciary and make it impossible for normal citizens to get fair hearings at their federal courts.
Should Democrats get hold of the Senate, not a SINGLE Trump nominee should get a hearing, and Schumer should tell Trump that whoever wins the next Presidential election should be able to nominate judges, according to precedent and logic created by Mcconnel.
See how Trump will like that, because Trump was applauding the Republicans for denying Obama the chance to put a judge on the Supreme Court, with a full year left in his term.

However, in the unlikely event that a truly qualified person is nominated, with progressive ideals, we should support that nomination

IMO, McConnell KNEW the election fix was in well ahead of time, and that is why he was sooooooooooo adamant about denying Merrick Garland the hearing that he deserved.
I hate this bastard, maybe even more than I hate Trump.

(2,062 posts)Sorry, but the left side of the aisle doesn't seem to work that way. I will be very surprised, if the Senate turns, you will see this happening. I am not going to say the democrats in congress are wimps, but if the shoe fits. There are some that have the balls to do it, but not much our leadership, perhaps some, but not Schumer or Pelosi.

(2,654 posts)They got played and Schumer is being played now, but he did get the capital moved to Jerusalem for a pay-off to his donors. The Democratic Party lost its backbone when Ted Kennedy died.
