re: #530 HappyWarrior

The GOP is creating some terrible precedent for future judicial nominees here including their own. As I said don’t cry to me if this eventually does happen down the line to a respected conservative leaning jurist.

But BORK! Except that Bork got his hearings and votes.

The GOP flat out stated they’d refuse even hearings on any nomination, and that Obama shouldn’t even nominate because reasons.

Democrats in the future could easily pull out this video the next time a GOPer is in the WH and has a vacancy to fill. They wont (and as the Bork instance shows, they did allow hearings and votes) but the precedent is now out there.

It’s a dangerous one at that. The GOP will bring disaster upon themselves because obstructionism is all they have left. This is a party bereft of ideas or policies.
