    It feels naive & even stupid to say this, but the constitution says the presidential nominations are made with the Senate providing "advice & consent." To say you're just going to rubber-stamp whoever Trump nominates means you're abdicating your sworn duty.https://twitter.com/StevenTDennis/status/1308233952210178049 …

        Memo to Donald Trump: Lindsey Graham says the GOP will confirm whoever you nominate. So why not nominate your sister? She's a judge and would be reliable if there were any legal troubles for you that ended up in the Supreme Court.

        They are definitely going heavy on the "consent".

        Why Trump when they could get the same judicial appointees from Pence?

        I mean I feel like the founding fathers weren't exactly sure the executive branch would have a research team and that kind of thing would be best left to the Roman aristocrat-wannabes.

        Well refusing to hold any hearings was abdicating that same sworn duty, so wha else is new?

        The Republicans have abdicated choosing judges to the Heritage Foundation a long time ago.

        Sir, I have been saying this for many years. Mostly to myself. We. Are. Playing. Pretend. Constitution. WAP, if that shortens it up. It's gone. We are, to quote @joshtpm, play-acting. We can talk about it. What's supposed to be this, that. It's all a joke now.

        Doesn't the nominee still need to be grilled before instant confirmation? Too many are saying they will vote for whomever. Jesus Christ, what a bunch of losers! Vote them out!
