That’s really redundant isn’t it. We had a Joe Biden quote saying the Senate was not obligated to give consideration to a Supreme Court nominee in the last year of a president’s time in office. Here we have two-faced Horrible Harry saying the same thing.
Actually the Constitution sez nothing of the sort.
I heard a blurb from Obungler on his radio address about this decrying the partisanship in DC and, of course. blaming the Republicans for it. Let’s set the Wayback Machine back to 2009 Sherman when congressional Republicans met with Obumbler right after he took office. When they put forth some bipartisan proposals, Obongo said, “I will trump you on that because I won.” That gave him the name amongst conservatives as The Won. The partisanship started with him as he, Speaker Blinky, and Horrible Harry refused to work with Republicans. They rammed Obummercare through Congress with some parliamentary shenanigans without a single Republican vote.
Yannow what Bitch McConnell should tell Obooger about his anti-Second Amendment Supreme Court nominee? I will trump you on that because we won. Obeauzeau was responsible for the greatest House majority in over 50 years. He was also responsible for Republicans taking over the Senate. Hold fast Republicans. We don’t need another liberal on the Supreme Court.
Of course, McConnell, would say such a thing to Obama, only after getting approval from his Bank of America/Citicorp Bush administration tàitai.
This doesn’t have to do with the post, sorry Denny. I fly a lot for my job. Airports always blast CNN. I don’t know why but it’s always CNN. I HATE CNN, and it’s hard to get away from a blasted screen vomiting out CNN. So the conversations in the airport wax political. No wonder airports have bars. You know, I just might vote for cankles and let these people drown in the sinking shithole they are demanding we become. The right wing and the left wing really are on the same bird aren’t they? Sorry Denny, I need a good stiff drink and there wasn’t any place to spew my frustrations.
Denny;
If it wasn’t for double standards, dimocrats would have no standards at all.
They have hitched their wagon to a lying, felonious, thieving, grossly corrupt, progressive (which is a euphemism for socialist) old hag. They have done this because, “It’s her turn”.
Since ol’ Harry ain’t standin’ for another term in the Senate, I halfway expect him to pull off one more big “FUCK YOU” on the Stupid Party before he leaves office. And the way things have been run by the Repub’s leadership, he’ll probably get away with just about anything.
Perhaps, but, if the Mormons of Utah, would like to give any credibility to their religion they sure have the opportunity at this moment in doing so by disavowing Harry Reid, Mitt Romney, and, Glenn Beck.
This was dug up on good old “I hate blacks” Byrd and Biden

Byrd
There is no stipulation in the Constitution as to how the Senate is to express its advice or give its consent. President Bush incorrectly — incorrectly — maintains that each nominee for a federal judgeship is entitled to an up or down vote. The Constitution does not say that. I say the Constitution itself does not say that each nominee is entitled to an up or down vote. The Constitution doesn’t say that, it doesn’t even say that there has to be a vote with respect to the giving of its consent. The Senate can refuse to confirm a nominee simply by saying nothing and doing nothing.
Then
Two days later, Byrd’s speech was also heavily quoted, lavishly praised, and included in full in the printed version of a prolix (13,000+ word), 90-minute floor speech by Senator Joe Biden.
Biden’s entire speech was devoted to the issue at the center of the debate over the Garland nomination. Since he attached so much significance to it, he prepared by seeking the counsel of a panel of Constitutional scholars. Biden declared it was “one of the most important” speeches of his 32-year Senate career. Since Biden’s contradictions have been so hotly debated during the current nomination controversy, it is odd that this speech has been virtually ignored in favor of another prolix speech (about 20,000 words) the Delaware senator delivered in June 1992.
There’s nothing odd about it; that Biden said the same things years later would cause problems for his ‘You Republicans didn’t understand what I said’ line.
And now Biden is denying he said that. More Dimocrat hypocrisy.
