I suppose the people can do like those who lead us. McConnell once said "no hearings" so I suppose the people should be able to do the same.

The left can't get their agenda passed by Congress so they rely on the courts to enact their destructive policies by inventing new interpretations of laws that don't exist.

I get why that stings the Democrats, what's left of them, badly. So they kick & scream like kids. Like crying on election night.


The voters spoke. The Constitution wins.
Can't say I don't get some insidious pleasure out of listening to the whining and whimpering.

Because its a "hearing" and not a court, or committee meeting, no such rules apply. They should just throw everyone out NOT invited by the nominee. There is no obligation to allow the public to be in the same room.

That's nice. Make no mistake, what comes around goes around and after the moves Trump and his supporters have made, I'm looking forward to a lot of crying on the other side and it too will be delicious.

Considering how much the GOP has kept hidden from the public, it would be no surprise. Turn the government into a big black box with no visibility whatsoever.

McConnell has already shown politics matters more than the constitution, to hold the hearings in secret is EXACTLY what we would expect from this administration.

It's embarrassing, and all they're doing is discrediting themselves. And I say this as a liberal.

Oh yes, refusing to even consider the SC choice of a Democratic president is so much better.

Dont just lock Hillary up. Put all of DC in a giant weaponized cage match. They are just infestations of the fringes of their respective loony party bases.

I agree, and it just happened again on the live feed. I don't approve.

They actually hate democracy which is how they can possibly find it within themselves to support a POS such as Trump and his admiration for and kowtowing to dictators.
