He would absolutely risk the reelection for this. If he fails to push through a justice and Trump loses, it would be a lose lose for the GOP.

Nah, Mitch has nothing to lose by ramming someone through.

His state is safe, and even if it wasn't I'm sure a judge would be worth losing his seat. Not like he isn't old anyway.

Why does everybody want the Democrats to just go biblical? Are we not supposed to have any voice of reason in leadership? This country is thirsting for any normalcy right now. That shyt is like water in the desert.

Because the Supreme Court is going to roll back decades of civil rights. You can't be "civil" in that situation.

Why did the Republicans shut it down in 2013? Was there like a dispute over a particular issue that needed to be resolved first?
Obama/Senate couldn't do the same thing in 2016 over filling the SC seat? Or was the court not serious enough or something?
The Government can only shut down if the house and senate fail to pass a budget or other law that otherwise continues to fund the government.
The possibility of it happening can only arise once every 1-2 years. It’s not something the president can do unilaterally.
In 2013 the Republicans were trying to remove funding for Obamacare from a resolution that needed to pass in order for the government to continue being funded.

And then what did Harry Reid and the Dems in the Senate do? They stopped them right?
So Obama had no pull whatsoever to stop the budget? He submits it right?
Let's go another angle, when Scalia died was nominating a borderline Republican who the Rs might accept the right move? And when they told Obama to kick rocks, was just being complacent and expecting Hillary to be the next president the right move? He went about the empty SC seat the Republicans were flouting all norms not to fill the right way and treated it with the urgency we now see was necessary?

shyt like this is why I get so fukking angry at dumb fukks like Ice Cube actively trying to get people not to vote.

They are so short sighted and ignorant of political consequences they can’t see past tomorrow and will end up hurting themselves and their followers.

Why aren't you angry at the Dems for not putting up better nominees who speak to maybe a couple of Ice Cube's concerns?
They feed us shyt and your like, "Mmmm tasty."
