Lol, what part of to "advise and consent" involves refusing to hold hearings on the president's nominees?

It looks like they took the nominee under advisement , but did not provide consent. Given his tenure as AG, it is a good thing for our country that he did not make a SC Justice. Jack Sekulow explains it pretty good in the article I linked.

It’s a civil warrant Cletus.

I never said it wasn't a civil warrant, I just posted a link showing the FBI may get involved. The link I provided says nothing about the warrant.

civil arrest warrants do allow for physical apprehension, not to be put in jail but to be made to physically appear. Since Dems are out of state and Texas has no jurisdiction in ILL the FBI may be brought in

Why wouldn’t the Rs want to have a vote?

I’m pretty sure those TX Ds aren’t hiding out in one place all together.

Because they don't actually give an eff. The dems gave them a distraction they can rant against without having to actually do anything. They have the cheap political talking ponts they need. No need to actually do work, when they can just campaign on it indefinitely.

What's the needed quorum? I doubt even half of the Dems need to be there to meet it.

Yep. It’s a special session that Abbott added and none them want to be there in the first place. They’re all lazy bastards.

Your edit is even worse than just standing pat on your horrible first post. None of this is within the FBI’s purview.

But it does my heart good to see Trump lapdogs being so adamant about limited federal government 😂

Considering that Mitch McConnell refused to hold hearings on Merrick Garland's nomination when Scalia died in February of in 2016, on the grounds that it was an election year, and then rammed through Amy Coney Barrett in October of 2020, I don't really blame Biden for making that threat.

Garland should have got a vote.

At least ACB has proven not to be a total partisan hack. 6 others on the SC could take a cue from that....

Lol, criticizing Dems for being sore losers. The GOP is led by the poster child of all time for sore losers.

You can't run away and hide when the ball doesn't bounce your way. This isn't governance, it's theater and it should be embarrassing for them as public officials. I imagine all of these same people would be clutching their pearls if the shoe was on the other foot. I hope Abbott gets to the point where he can declare the seats abandoned and vacate them.

This.

I mean it’s “normal” to have a conservative-leaning SC say 5-4. In theory, this maintains the status quo which has been pretty good for our country.

But, yeah, the GOP shenanigans and sheer dumb luck have created a court that’s too far right IMO.

What far right rulings have they issued?

Couldn't the Rs just show up wherever the Ds are hiding and force a quorum that way?

Oh wait that is assuming they actually want a vote and not just theatre.

I can see it now, one bus chasing another bus all across the country. That would make good reality tv but would not exactly be practical
