before he leaves office....as the "polite" thing to do.

Just announced by Rush on his show.

Here's the podcast for yesterday.  Rush makes the statement "Republicans advance Obama judicial nominees with weeks to go." at about 1:45:50....

Of course they are. If they lose the Presidency and Senate they might get something worse.

If this story is true ....and since it's not April 1, we must presume that it is....what happened to their supposedly 'firm' stance of waiting until the next president is elected to approve any nominations?

I want to hear Rush say this, I find this hard to believe.

Additionally, now we may have an outsider in the Oval Office, not the same ol' DC career politicians.

'Outsider'?????? 

BWHAHAAHAAAAHAAAAA!

A lifelong NY liberal democrat funder of the Clintons, the Schumers, DeBlasio who profited from crony fascism is only an 'outsider' in the minds of the self-deluded and the True Believer.

I was equally stunned.  And he said it....in literally the last two minutes of his show....effectively dropping a bomb on his way out the door.   WTH?

Supreme Court fight colors battle for the Senate

excerpt:
Quote
Democrats and allied liberal groups have pressed Senate Republicans to confirm Garland while Obama is still in office, but Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) ruled out the possibility last week.

He said the next president will have to make a new nomination.

“We’ve already made it very clear that a nomination for the Supreme Court by this president will not be filled this year,” he said at a press conference Tuesday.

Rush sounded like he was kind of laughing after he said it, so maybe he meant it as a joke...?  He better not have been kidding about something like that.

I think this is what Rush was referring to...this isn't a SCOTUS appointment

No, he carefully said "judicial" nominees.  Rush is a mischief maker.  He deliberately dropped that 'specimen' purely for effect. 

He wanted folks to think it was USSC related.

And, that can't be what Rush was referring to....since that is not what he said they were preparing to do for the sake of being "polite".

Quote
Republicans could be sending the nomination out of committee halfheartedly, in an effort to appease the left while running out the clock before the Nov. 8 elections.

At this particular juncture NOTHING the GOPe does would surprise me!

I think its more likely that they have good reason to believe that Hilliary will win and the Senate will change hands, and these are the best nominees they will see for a long time..

That might be true....if and only if....they were unwilling to approve any or all of Hillary's nominations.  But... considering their apparent "go along to get along" attitude that they have had with Obama....and considering how gutless or "in on it" they've been thus far....

I wouldn't bet on it.

I think they're just doing the usual....bowing down (bending over) for Barry.
