Not lost on me at all my friend. Do you see the irony in Dems arguing that the Senate should now fail its current constitutional duties? Perhaps it is lost on you?
I will stand by original statement of hypocrisy exposed on both sides of the aisle. The proof of which is two political parties literally exchanging positions overnight on an issue for political gain alone, not principle.
The troll in the room though is that you are acting like the Democrats should not throw this in the faces of the Republicans. Especially because they are completely ignoring a dying woman last wish and completely showing themselves as full of shit for their 2016 withholding of our first Black presidents pick 9 months out from the election day, when currently voting is already taking place.
And I am actually coming to think the entire point of this is to paint a narrative that the Democrats have any ability to stop this what so ever, so you are basically saying they shouldn't be able to complain about the obvious double standard and moreover have another lifetime appointment for the a POTUS that is facing charges for his criminality once he is no longer in office.
I favor a recess appointment and a confirmation following the election with new Senate. Better to have 9 seated for the election and expected legal challenges from both sides. I think Trump wins and holds the Senate, but puts that at risk by forcing thru a nominee.
If Trump appoints a legit judge (thinking he should do the latino judge in Flordia for political reasons), the Democrats should ask the tough questions and if the candidate ends up being not a troll, they should nominate them.
But I think it is going to be tough for Trump to not appoint a troll who he has something on so he can have a hope of them voting his way if he loses the election and sues it up to the SCOTUS to try to not face those charges Mueller said are waiting for him.
It really doesn't matter though, Trump lost the popular vote, and will lose it again, and has done nothing but stuff judges and 'acting' cabinet further demonstrating the tyranny of the minority that the Republicans have thrived on for decades.
