I don't think you guys understand what is going on here. We just elected a man who's campaign tactic and style was similar to that of George Wallace and made promises to build a wall, round people up, ban Muslims and is in a position in which he could appoint SCOTUS justices that may overturn a ruling that gave women the freedom to do with their bodies as they choose.
Add to that the fact that the Reps control congress and we find ourselves in a bad position where we could take a huge step backwards in regards to personal liberty and constitutional protections. And we have yet to discuss the ramifications of his economic/tax ideas.
So I can understand why a lot of people are concerned. We've put ourselves in a terrible spot if Trump does achieve even a small bit of what he promised.
And what I KNOW you don't understand is that the democratic process used to elect a leader, just voted Donald J. Trump as president Elect of the United States. Apparently, this is what the people wanted. I think it's time for you to accept this and realize it's how things are going to be for the next 4 years. Suck it up.

it sure looks like you are trying to justify what they are doing.
The Constitution justifies what they are doing. They have a right to speak out, regardless of the reason for doing so.

Congress has no strong objections to Obama's nominee based on ideology. They said it was too close to a new president being elected to allow Obama's nominee to be a justice. That's a fact, ma'am.
But the truth is simple. Second Amendment issues have come before Garland, at least four times. He voted anti-gun every time.

he truly believes with every inch of his body that he's right and anyone who doesn't think like him is stupid.

I don't care. Obama should have tried to work with Congress to get that vacancy filled. Caving was weak. A very weak and dangerous move.

And before that it was 8 years of people whining about Bush. Come on, same #, different day. It's a conspiracy site. We don't make daisy chains here.

I firmly believe one day you'll change your mind on these matters after extensive talks with you, I know you're intelligent.

Why would they consider multiple nominees when they said no matter who the nominee is, they wouldn't approve them because Obama's time was so limited and they felt the president for the next four years should be the one to nominate?
