re: #430 Dark_Falcon

The Bork hearings were a classic hatchet job. By making said hearing such, Teddy Kennedy and the Dems accelerated the current trend of high-stakes SCOTUS nominations. The actions of 2016 Republicans is just the logical end point of such a trend: We can’t afford to lose the high court and allowing Obama to replace Scalia would almost certainly be to lose it.

‘Hatchet job’ or no (debateable), he at least got a hearing.

What your team is doing is on another level entirely. You mean to tell me they couldn’t at least keep up the appearance that they’re actually doing what we pay them to do?

Or is doing their fucking job ‘breaking a promise?’
