http://wonkette.com/599015/breaking-gop-does-not-want-to-work-just-wants-to-bang-on-drum-all-dayIf you were just sitting around today wondering if Senate Republicans were going to think about doing their goddamn job on, well, anything really, wonder no more: they have indeed done something, which is to get together and take a vote on
not doing their goddamn job.
Yes, the best and the brightest that Republicans have to offer, led by chinless and dickless wonder Mitch McConnell, have declared that even if Obama nominates the Baby Jesus or Ted Cruz or Zombie Scalia, that person shall not get a confirmation vote, no how no way no where....
That is a full Greek chorus of stupid right there. As we have to keep explaining to you passel of idiots, the American people did decide as to who they wanted to nominate Supreme Court judges, and that person is the Kenyan Muslin imposter currently occupying the White House. We realize this is hard for you to take. We realize that youve spent the last 7 years in the sort of profound denial that people end up in therapy for 20+ years to get over. But it is, regrettably for you, true.
Setting aside the profound obstructionist stupidity of all of this, do any of you nitwits realize what a profound crisis this creates for the judiciary? This means no ninth justice for the rest of this term and most, if not all, of the Courts next term, because your jackoff fantasy President Trump, Cruz, or Rubio wouldnt be able to even nominate someone until January 2017. This means lots of huge decisions going 4-4, which means that the lower court decision stands. (You might know that if you had the vaguest idea how the judiciary works, you fucks.) This also means that you are going to have to rethink this strategy if and when a President Sanders or a President Clinton wins. Or are you thinking to just refuse all votes on any nominee for the following 8 years? Oh god wait. You probably would, because if a Democrat wins the presidency, she or he will somehow be an invalid leader in the eyes of the GOP.

That if they don't do ANYTHING, their constituents will be pleased. As ridiculous as that seems to be, it's true.
