Governing is for suckers. And Democrats. Oh, what an awkward spot of bother the Grand Old Party has found itself in. Again. Approximately one half second after the world learned of the sudden vacancy on the Supreme Court (and oh yeah, P.S., thoughts and prayers to Antonin Scalia's family, of course), Republicans were tripping over each other
Actually, by now I think even the rednecks in Wisconsin already realize that he doesn't know how to work his job. If Russ can survive until the election, this'll be one seat flipped.
His real worry is that one of the circuits would rule against him, and then be "not-reversed" by 4-4. And which circuits would be likely to do that? Probably the conservative-leaning ones. This would be micro-karma.
At this point, if the Senate actually did its job and decided to hold confirmation hearings, it would cause a major news meltdown comparable to if Taylor Swift announced she's hiring Kanye to be her bitch on a leash, responsible for polishing her Grammys and shining her shoes. CNN would go into crisis mode and be assaulting us with 72 point BREAKING NEWS graphics and Wolf and Anderson both on the scene in DC, while on Fux Gnus they'd be playing funeral dirges with DildO'Reilly preparing to commit on-air hari-kari.
Which it'll never do since that global warming stuff is a lie!

I like the cut of your jib.
Well, Bristle is sometimes full of contractions.
Note: This is why Warren needs to stay in the Senate. Seniority. Next term, she will be twice as influential as this term. Etc.
In fact, most of them have retired (at a convenient time) rather than died in the saddle.

Well, and he was an asshole.
A good many of those vacancies are in districts where the Republican senators involved have refused to even put forward a nominee.
What they've really been stalling hard are the circuit nominees.
Even so, but you can even allow a "period of mourning". For regular people, that's about a week.
So get on with it!
One of my Granddad's standards...
