So you don't like having a strong military to protect you, a police force to protect you, roads to drive on and bridges that don't fall apart while you try to cross them? Government pays for all that genius.
This awesome to you? Living in the dark ages?
Wow, you think police patrolling your town are federal employees? ROFLMAO. Wow, you might need to take a civics class or forty.
Obama gets blamed left and right for things.. while Congress gets a free pass to sit around and eat popcorn while things fall apart. Then these idiots think voting for a nut job like Trump is the answer. NO.. people doing their JOB is the answer. How stupid can people be?
Obama should have worked with the senate to nominate someone the majority would vote for.
Ultimate the blame lies with Obama for never working with congress, his my way or the high way attitude was detrimental in the long run. Look at the difference between what Clinton was able to accomplish and Obama was able to accomplish with the same exact situation.
Congress doesn't get a free pass. They have an approval rating below 10%. American voters are just too lazy to drain the swamp themselves by voting these imbeciles out.
Get a grip on reality.
And I'm with the other folks who want a slow, inefficient government that doesn't get a chance to waste our tax dollars.
Like I told the other poster.. you don't like having a strong military to protect you, a police force to protect you, roads to drive on and bridges that don't fall apart while you try to cross them? Government pays for all that genius.
Congress didn't vote "no" because they didn't get to vote. Anyone who says otherwise is a moron.
It is functionally the same. If they were going to vote, "Yes", they would have held hearings. They refused to hold hearings, because they had no intention of voting in favor of any Obama nominee.
The difference isn't functional, it is political. The political-left had hoped to use the Republican refusal to approve any of Obama's nominees, as more evidence of Republican obstructionism, or even racism.
They knew the Republicans were never going to appoint an Obama nominee with the election just around the corner. And it isn't like this isn't the first time that has happened. The Democrats have done the exact same thing in the past.

They are Government employees.
What about the military? Stop cherry picking and trying to run away from the issue.
