WASHINGTON — Republicans in favor of putting off consideration of a Supreme Court nominee during an election year have focused on an unexpected ally: Joe Biden, circa 1992.
As Senate Judiciary Committee chairman more than two decades ago, the vice president argued that President George H.W. Bush should wait until after the November election to name a nominee – echoing the case Republicans now make against President Barack Obama’s plan to try to fill the late Justice Antonin Scalia’s seat.
Republicans gleefully circulated grainy video of Biden laying out his thoughts on the Senate floor.

It's a moot point because the GOP ain't gonna confirm anyone Obama nominates.
That's why Obama should nominate someone that GOP senators have already approved for another court.

There he is!
Just be careful, JustFreedManIntrepidBennieMe. With floating the "Bennie" nick, you're apt to get confused again.
One nick at a time, sweet Jesus! :lol:

It certainly is moot that the Repubs won't confirm anyone Obama nominates. Hell, Jesus the Christ could come back and Obama could appoint him and the GOP would say no.

McConnell claims that he's upholding the 'will of the American people.' From what I remember Obama is the President and he is the will of the American people. I don't know but was someone else elected who represents the will of the American people?
:lol:

No, you're memory has failed you, Congress is the will of the people to keep a President in check.

The will of the duped and deluded low information voters with their hands out for free stuff. Elkindoofus still holds the undisputed title, all divisions and weight classes, of Stupidest Person On the Interwebs.
Grog's opinion, being given a Canuk, doesn't matter.

^^^^^^^Geezus, now johnforbes is walking around telling people he's Hugo Black.
I guess there isn't a lot left of that Swiss-cheesed brain.
On the bright side, Swiss cheese is an improvement if you're a meat head like johnforbes.

Heavens no, I'm a whole lot better looking than Hugo Black ever was.
And William O Douglas too.
On the other hand, Clownhicker is a dead ringer for Ruth Bader Ginsburg.

So either you THINK you are Hugo Black, or you PLAGIARIZED Hugo Black.
Which is it, johnny? Are you mentally ill or just lacking in integrity? :o

If Congress does not go along, Obama will use executive order to close Gitmo
and transfer terrorist prisoners to our main land...
He will do this in clear violation of the law....
Obama says keeping Gitmo open is,"contrary to who we are".
By now...we all know who you are Mr. President.

Or Obama -- like liberal FDR -- could simply try to pack the Court with his own folks.
When Obama sycophants say that the Constitution requires Obama to nominate a new justice, the irony is rich because he has used the Constitution as a doormat.
After admitting 28 times on video (28 times) that he had no constitutional authority to grant amnesty, Obama went ahead and tried to do it.

Joe Biden went to Mexico and apologized to Mexico and the Mexican President for Donald Trump's remarks :lol: :lol:
What an asshole!
Trump is scaring the sh*t out of the Dems and the GOP establishment...
And Mitt Rommey attacking Trump on his tax returns??....another asshole :lol: :lol:
The GOP's only concern is they don't have control.......they want control!

Amen.
I had thought that Romney would have had too much class to have done that. Wrong.
Joe Biden apologized to Mexico because Democrats actually WANT illegal immigrants, who they think will be future Democrat voters.
