Then post and actual senate rule saying such a thing exist. The fillibuster rule existed. We know that because your party took a real vote, in the real senate, to get ride of it. Now show me a Biden rule voted on by the senate in any shape or form of any kind.

Nuclear option was a Reid deal and I'm not sure about "to get ride of it".......was it a pony?

Why don't any of the "biden rule" folks see the "until AFTER the election" part?

This is a rhetorical question.

No tears here. I concluded long ago that GOP insanity dooms the nation. I'm well past sorrow in the stages of grief.

Oh my, what drama....
Obama brought us a foreign policy that has strengthened our enemies alienated our allies and left much of the M.E. in flames, not to mention the enormous human carnage. Because of that, much of Europe and Scandinavia is overrun with a hostile refugee population and liberals would like to see that going on here in the U.S.

Domestically, race relations are at an all-time low, so is the job participation rate, medical costs are skyrocketing and liberals are having a very public meltdown.

Those of us not living in an elitist bubble see that the Obama reign has not been beneficial the U.S. or the world. That's why the White House, Congress, governors, and state legislatures are now dominated by Republicans.

None of Trump's proposals will harm the country, let alone bring "doom." We, as a nation have just come off eight years of decline. They have been long years for many of us and since Trump has only been president for about three months, I'd say you've just begun to grieve.

You'll see. You wingers are slow on the uptake. Here's a rule to make things easy to remember - Dem presidents leave behind better conditions than they inherited, and GOP presidents leave behind worse conditions than they inherited. Trump will be the worst one yet since his policies are terrible GOP policies AND he's nuts.

He "speaks" for The Majority Party. I have no issue with that and I explained why the wording "the majority of senators" is a different phrase. that might include other party members. In addition, even though the GOP is The Majority, they may not have the majority of votes on any issue. This is why no hearing was held on Garland, as he would have been seated...as opposed to the majority of Senators being opposed.

There is definitely nuance.
It was within a Senate majority's power to choose to hold hearings.

The bottom line is that McConnell unilaterally decreed that the Senate would not be permitted to carry out its advise and consent duties. He issued that unilateral decree the very day Scalia died. No votes, no nothing. McConnell had spoken.
McConnell didn't even preside over the Senate, much less squelch floor challenges to his agenda with the brutal violation of his own chamber's rules that we saw with Gingrich as House Speaker in the 1990s. Nothing was stopping Senators from calling a vote to hold hearings on Garland, except the knowledge the vote would be lost.

Now you're back to pretending that the Framers intended a situation where the Senate would refuse to advise and consent on any and all nominees, thereby negating a president's ability to fill positions, leaving our government crippled. The Framers did not envision that hyper-partisan wackjobs would simply refuse to engage in advise and consent. They viewed the Senate's role as a duty.
1 reason conservatives celebrate justices like Scalia: the sort of argument that what is politically preferable is constitutionally allowed and indeed mandated, and that although for substantive purposes the Constitution is a "living" document, procedures not spelled out but attributed to the Framers on the (often but not always) correct assumption that they shared the same political views of "good government" as 21st-century liberals must be followed to the letter. Here they rightfully discern a threat to the very possibility of constitutionally limited government.

Race relations "at an all time low"? Worse than, say, during slavery?

Don't bet more than you can afford to lose, that those two POS won't pay for their crimes.
This is why you're so miserable - you're too delusional to know that your hopes and dreams will never come true, and your unrealistic hopes and dreams consist of wishing for others to suffer. You live a very sad, wretched life.
