Obama to proceed with court nominee despite Republican defiance

[vy65]

"lacks credibility" is probably not the best way to phrase that. "is hypocritical" is better.

FWIW:

Also Known as: "You Too Fallacy"



Democrats are completely, 100% right when they say that the GOP is wrong not to consider or vote. The claim is credible, because it is true, regardless of who makes the point.

Giving in to ad hominem-style thinking is a bad way to consider truth.

That's a distinction without difference. I have a hard time finding hypocrites credible on the subject of their hypocrisy.

I am not surprised you can't see a difference between the underlying truth of a claim and the person that makes the claim. You would reach better conclusions about the world, were you not so slavishly devoted to being smug and superior to people you think have some character flaw.

i don't know about smug or simply self-defense.

he does have some wc in him.

This childish muffling of the ears strategy by Republicans toward Obama got old like 6 years ago. Cut the political bull and move forward with a compromise appointment.

Obama blew it, after hearing the Repugs say they will not even hear any of his nominees, by not appointing a (extremely progressive) judge while Congress was in recess.

When the does Obama learn he's got to play hard ball with these mother ing Repug assholes?

Recess appointments are only good until the next Congress. Best option is to let them obstruct, destroy their party by nominating Trump, take back the Senate, then ram it through in Jan when Congress sits but before he leaves office
