No, it's not the same thing. Keep pretending and living in your own little echo chamber world.

Yes, it is. The Senate is under no obligation whatsoever to submit bills, resolutions, or nominations for a vote. Reid was famous for holding things back.

Don't worry, they'll be getting the Senate back soon enough. People have gotten the chance to see the carnage a republican "leadership" can cause. I know a lot of people who claim to be conservative and are voting Dem this year.

Until Donald Trump becomes the republican nominee. I bet that the Republicans will take a moderate from Obama now over a potential liberal justice from Clinton later.

The Dems will pound their chests and scream with outrage about the "outrageous acts of irresponsibility" that the Republicans are engaged in. Imagine "the nerve" of...and on and on.

It will hurt them more than help them. Every who knows anything already knows the Democrat's actions in the past on these types of issues.

The braying of The Donkeys will gain them nothing.

It's all about the optics.
