Does that stall or prevent a vote on the Senate floor?Originally posted by Non Sequitur View PostThe Senate Judiciary Committee splits 11-11 on party lines on the nomination of Ketanji Brown. It looks like the new normal is that future supreme court justices will only be approved when the President is a member of the Senate majority party. It's the fault of both sides of the aisle, but I think we're beyond the point where the problem can ever be fixed."I think it was King Benjamin who said 'you sorry ass shitbags who have no skills that the market values also have an obligation to have the attitude that if one day you do in fact win the PowerBall Lottery that you will then impart of your substance to those without.'"

Pretty sure the 11-11 tie was expected and it will not prevent her from continuing forward. There are at least 2 republican votes now. This is a done deal.Originally posted by Pelado View Post

Funny thing is that she is one of the more moderate nominees in recent years and polls show that a majority of Americans like her."There is no creature more arrogant than a self-righteous libertarian on the web, am I right? Those folks are just intolerable."

I don't belong to his party, but I have more respect for Mitt Romney than just about any other Senator in the country. I wish it weren't so rare that politicians put conscience over party.Originally posted by Jeff Lebowski View Post"The mind is not a boomerang.

She was endorsed by Judge Thomas Griffith for goodness sake. If she was the extremist that people are trying to paint her as, he would not have endorsed her.Originally posted by Jeff Lebowski View Post

I don't have a strong opinion on him, but he is absolutely 100% a conservative judge. I really liked his remarks and he pointed out other conservative judges that are supporting her.Originally posted by Jeff Lebowski View Post

KBJ confirmed.
Lindsey Graham, Ted Cruz, etc. beg voters to return a republican majority so that they can block all appointments in the next two years.

So...you know how people keep saying that unless they screw it up the Republican Party has a shot to take the majority in the Senate and House during these midterm elections?Originally posted by Jeff Lebowski View PostKBJ confirmed.

Republicans - this is one way you can screw it up. Assure everyone you're just going to be obstructionists and don't really have anything else you stand for.

"Discipleship is not a spectator sport. We cannot expect to experience the blessing of faith by standing inactive on the sidelines any more than we can experience the benefits of health by sitting on a sofa watching sporting events on television and giving advice to the athletes. And yet for some, “spectator discipleship” is a preferred if not primary way of worshipping." -Pres. Uchtdorf

Republicans figured out that one party cares more about the Supreme Court than the other. This will not hurt them on net.Originally posted by Eddie View Post

For all this His anger is not turned away, but His hand is stretched out still.
Not long ago an obituary appeared in the Salt Lake Tribune that said the recently departed had "died doing what he enjoyed most—watching BYU lose."

This kind of polarization crap is getting ridiculous. Yes, both parties engage in it to one extent or another but it's getting worse. I can't believe the majority of Americans like their legislators to keep acting like immature brats.
