I know you think liberals are all butt hurts whiners, but you need to understand that this will create real issues. This isn't just typical/standard politics of liars. This is the kind of two faced political manipulation and lying that can lead to blood shed. The Supreme Court isn't a ####ing mayors race.

"The one thing I think is important to dispel is any notion that somehow that this is some well established tradition, or some constitutional principle, that a president in his last year in office cannot fill a Supreme Court vacancy. It’s not in the text of the constitution, and ironically these are Republicans who say they believe in reading the text of the constitution and focusing on the intent of the constitution. None of the founding fathers thought that when it comes to the president carrying out his duties, he can do it for three years and then on the last year stop doing it."

(Also, when people say "both sides, many side...rheeee", I just assume they have exhausted any good arguments.)
