Sen. Elizabeth Warren to Republicans: Do Your Job
Yes, clearly by refusing to even consider nominees, they have stated that they won't fulfil the clearly delineated constitutional duty of giving "advice and consent".
"Fuck you darkie" is not advice or consent.
Let's just hope that if they stick to their guns and do hold the nomination process (and therefore the Supreme Court's ability to function) hostage that the end result is a democratic super majority in the house and senate on top of the presidency, and at least 2 supreme court positions to fill in the next 4 years (maybe more).
If that happens, and IF (and it's a big "if") they manage to get rid of gerrymandering, citizens united, and targeted voter blocking 'regulations', we'll never have to hear about the republicans again outside history classes, because without rigging the system they can't win anywhere.
No Bob, they are not doing their jobs, they have stated that they will not even consider anybody that he submits for the position.
Nobody's asking them to greenlight whatever clown Obama decides to send their way, as Warren said, they can vote to refuse that nomination if they wish.
They're stonewalling so they can wrap this up and put a bow on it for the next Republican president. Of course, if the Republicans don't take the Whitehouse in 2016 I wonder what kind of excuse they'll come up with when they have to deal with another Democratic President.
Why the Electoral College Ruins Democracy
electoral college is fine. It's gerrymandering and "winner take all" that fuck it up. The founders are right about direct democracy not being good in situations like this.
Eliminate those two things and the electoral college is fine and it would eliminate swing states as well.
Popular vote would totally fuck over any area that doesn't have a high population density. I'd be fine with tweaking the voter-to-electoral vote proportions though and get rid of the "electors" That would be reasonable.
It may need tweaks and refinements, but the overall concept is still valid.
