    Conservatives: Kneeling is an affront to the troops! Blocking roads inconveniences hardworking Americans! Yelling at public servants is childish! Why can’t you just go through the proper channels?

    Non-conservatives who feel they have been wronged: Good idea! (files lawsuit against baker that refuses to bake a cake for a gay wedding)

    @Rainman: LOL what a couple of bitches

    SHS’s Twitter followers: (pelt restaurant with shit for politely asking her to leave)

    Rainman: These are people who know how to handle things the right way.

    He was qualified. That’s why he couldn’t be given a vote.

    If he was given a vote, he would have been confirmed.

    Do you think it's right that he wasn't given a vote?

    The next question: How quickly does Jeff Flake fold on his pledge to block any judicial nominee until there’s a vote on tariffs? Tonight? Tomorrow?

    I think he would have been confirmed if he had gotten a vote.

    . . . in an election year, we need to let the American people decide . . .

    The Chinese ASAT shot that you specifically cut and pasted out of that article to make a big deal about was in 2007.

    And there already is a space force, mostly within the Air Force. Big deal, yawn. Not in favor of the idea because of additional cost and bureaucracy, but the essential elements and functions already exist.

    Presidential election year. Other known as the Biden rule.

    It’s about letting the people decide who chooses the nominee, not about who confirmes him/her.

    Kagan was confirmed in August 2010.

    I get that. But do you think he should have been given a vote?
