The Constitution mandates that the President fill vacancies on the Supreme Court with the advice and consent of the Senate. Senator Isakson refuses to even hold hearings. Appalling behavior. This has been threatened before, but this is the first time our Senate has so arrogantly disrespected the people of the United States. Call him.

Anne Edwards Langley
I have, several times! He says he is not doing anything until after the election

Let's drive him nuts. This is so wrong and he knows it.

Article II, Section 2 of the Constitution provides that the President "shall nominate, and by and with the advice and consent of the Senate, shall appoint... Judges of the Supreme Court."
Terrell Shaw
Amen.
Ken Freshour
It never says they must bring to a vote a nomination from the president. That is what controlling Congress means just like a Democrat controlled Congress.
Terrell Shaw
It is unprecedented and destructive to our system of government for the Senate to refuse to advise and (at least) hold hearings. Then vote him up, or vote him down. To stonewall is to disrespect the fact that our President is our President for his full term.
Ken Freshour
I am afraid any respect he gets will come from someone other than me. He is president and was duly elected twice but I don't care for him, his wife or his "legacy." Out of respect for the office I won't say more.

I sent Johnny Isakson an email. He did answer it , but he said he wanted to wait until after the election to do anything.

It's called The Biden Rule for a reason: https://www.washingtonpost.com/.../ea8cde5a-d9b1-11e5...

Joe threatened. He was wrong. This is not a threat, it is a big stonewall right now. It is wrong and has further gummed up our nation and stymied the expressed will of the American people, again.
