If we can wait 9 months

[sarisataka]

To give the next president the opportunity to nominate a Supreme Court justice, why can't we wait until after the midterms to let a new Congress act on DACA?

1. The GOP is in charge...we can't affect their policy. We blew 16 and the consequences will be dire.

The only thing we can do is try to win in 18 and 20 and limit the damage somewhat.

3. they blew 12 and yet they denied obama a supreme court pick that was rightfully his.

4. They also held the Senate during that time

And they are vile, power-hungry opportunists.

[unblock]

5. point is, we're on firm footing to do everything we can to block this.

granted our official powers are limited, but republicans have certainly been effective in the past with limited official powers.

no reason for us not to try.

[Orrex]

6. I'm all for that

But we should gauge our success against the success that obstructionist Republicans enjoyed while the deck was stacked heavily in their favor (much the same as it is stacked now).

7. i think we're still in the "getting our side to actually try" stage

no need to worry about measuring our success if we don't even try to actually fight it.

9. Since 10 the Repubs had the House...we have nothing. I consider it a miracle that they have not

run roughshod over us already. We have no power, and if outside groups like our revolution and Move on...who primary Democrats cost us the election...the GOP will win it all because the moderate Repubs will vote with the majority and not us.

8. They got the court pick because we also blew 14 and gave them the Senate.

[unblock]

10. the technical ability to do what they did is one thing

the lack of decency, the disrespect for tradition, the flouting of governance norms, and the giving of the middle finger to the will of the people and to the office of the president of the united states is something else entirely.

[Demsrule86]

11. You should expect it. And I say to you, there will never be another judge confirmed without the

the Senate.

2. Oh, I'm sure...........

the Pugs would be most willing to agree with that!
