I just did something evil.

You're really thinkin' that DUmmies can think beyond the last breath they took, aren'tcha?

Nah...just explaining how obviously-wrong they are from the view of sane people, for the educational benefit of our mentally-impaired Democrat lurkers, who can't think things through for themselves, or even wipe their own asses without a gubmint check to buy environmentally-safe hypoallergenic organic shitpaper.

Here's a little blast from the past.   A democrat underground thread from November of 2014--back when Dingy Harry was still the Senate Majority Leader.

Cruz, Lee Already Prepping To Delay AG Nominee Over 'Executive Amnesty'

ByCaitlin MacNeal
Published November 9, 2014, 1:38 PM EST


The same day that President Obama nominated Loretta Lynch to be the next attorney general, Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) and Sen. Mike Lee (R-UT) signaled that it won't be an easy process.

"President Obama’s Attorney General nominee deserves fair and full consideration of the United States Senate, which is precisely why she should not be confirmed in the lame duck session of Congress by senators who just lost their seats and are no longer accountable to the voters," the senators said in a Saturday statement.

Multiple Republican senators have already expressed the same view that the Senate should wait to confirm the attorney general until the newly-elected senators take office in January.

But Cruz and Lee also said they would question Lynch over immigration.

"The Attorney General is the President's chief law enforcement officer. As such, the nominee must demonstrate full and complete commitment to the law. Loretta Lynch deserves the opportunity to demonstrate those qualities, beginning with a statement whether or not she believes the President’s executive amnesty plans are constitutional and legal," they said in the statement.

Admittedly senators Cruz and Lee were against her confirmation but what was stopping Dingy Harry from starting the confirmation process?  He was the Majority leader.

6. They can't delay the nomination.

Filibusters are not allowed for Presidential appointments. So Reid could schedule a vote Monday morning if he wanted. If the nomination gets delayed it will be all on Reid, he controls it.

7. That is the bottom line.

Harry it's on your desk what are you going to do. Harry has a ton of splaining to do,lost Nevada,his own church member in California is dissing him. My take,he will capitulate and we won't have a AG. BTW,remember the Bundy farce,still has to be taken care of and it's up to the AG to get this done. Don't just love all this intrigue,Lee,Cruz,Hatch,and the BLM. Law suites thousand dollar suits.

 

Democrats had their chance to get her in without a hitch and they blew it.   They are going to have to own this one.  I'm with former9thward and Wellstone ruled on this one--it's all Dingy Harry's fault.  Harry has a ton of splaining to do, right  Wellstone ruled?

Control of docketing, which is the Senate Majority Leader's prerogative, is a much better tool than the filibuster...as long as the Majority Leader is willing to be ruthless in using it.

Which McConnell isn't .

Which McConnell isn't .

If he learned anything from Reid in the nature of dirty tricks, he learned from the master.

Unfortunately, McConnell and Boehner are acting like republicans lost the last election and are the minority party now.  They both act like conservatives are their enemies and democrats are their allies.

[AllosaursRus]

No he wouldn't.  Remember the red line in Syria?



The Congresscritters have already de-nutted themselves on any wrong doing by this administration.  No impeachment and no shut down regardless of what is done.

You are correct there is plenty to investigate and discuss.

But leadership of the GOP on Capitol Hill will never ever do it.

It's unbelievable Boner and Mc****ell can't figure out the mandate the American people have furnished them in the 2 last mid term elections. They're too busy attacking true conservatives who won't tow the line of big government spending. The powers that be in the Repiubican party care more about the power they wield than the American people and the principals the country was founded on. Makes me want to upchuck!

I agree with Levin we need a convention of the states in order to enact term limits. That would stop these power hungry pricks from getting entrenched in DC and stop them from spending more time raising money for their re-elections than they do governing for the people who elect them. I believe I read they spend more than 80% of their time at fund fund raisers than they do anything else.
