re: #62 obscured by clouds

It’s only “controversial” if a Republican’s doing it. I mean…how can anyone on the opposite side of the aisle “offer something positive” when talking about a Supreme Court nominee? Does anyone have any examples of this ever happening, historically? Just askin’.

The Democrats kicked, clawed, and scratched to thwart Bush at absolutely every turn and now they get the high ground and the Republicans are to be expected to just lie down? For fear of being “stuck on fail?” If that’s the big idea count me out.

I don’t recall that the Democrats kicked, clawed and scratched over Bush’s Supreme Court appointments. They pretty much rolled over, and were castigated endlessly for it by their constituents. Did the Dems block a justice that I don’t remember?
