Senator Reid Tells Chuck Grassley To Do His Damn Job
Senator Harry Reid gave a blistering 10-minute speech regarding yesterday's signed declaration from the Republican members of the Senate Judiciary Committee stating that they refuse to even meet with or consider any Supreme Court nominees that President Obama may put forward in the coming weeks and months. Mind you, President Obama has not even publicly stated a name or a timeline, yet the Republicans just shook their heads and said "nope, no, never gonna happen, nada, zilch" to any possible candidates.
This is unprecedented in U.S. History. Sure, candidates have been voted down, but the President has always been given the respect of having their nominees at least presented for consideration. Well, not with these Republicans. They are throwing the longest, most annoying tantrum ever. They are still super-duper angry that Obama got reelected and they are furious that they can't even get a Washington insider as the GOP leader for President.
They are reeling so what are they doing? What all toddlers do when they are having their candy taken away and being told to take a time out. They are falling to the ground, flailing their arms and legs, screaming at the top of their lungs and having a massive tantrum.
Here is some highlights of Harry Reid's excellent analysis of the situation:
