Leahy Is An Elitist Snob And Partisan Obstructionist

TheHammer said:
How much absurd political brass or just plain arrogance does it take for a Democrat Senator to have, before he proves his political partisan bias and contempt for a sitting President and the traditional civility of the U.S Senate?

Apparently all it takes is the elitist snobbery and obstructionist agenda of Democrat Senator Patrick Leahy, who first loudly and proudly proclaims he won’t vote for the conformation of Judge Neil Gorsuch to the Supreme Court, but he, {Leahy), has 20 plus more questions he wants to put to the nominee Gorsuch.

Why in hell would Leahy even believe that since he has already committed himself as a no vote, he should have any right or authority to badger the nominee a second further? He had several days of hearings for the Judge to ask all he wanted. So by what continued verbal besmirching is any real service to the Senate, the people or the Judge fulfilled?

It should be oh so evident to any honest person that Leahy’s agenda and objective is simply to badger the Judge, hold up his full Senate vote and obstruct as long as possible any and every act of the President.

Who in hell elects elitist, partisan snobs the likes of Leahy?

Is this a real question or are you just trolling? The answer is painfully easy.

Part of the whole point of confirmation hearings is to vet the nominee not just before yourself but before all of congress and to a lesser extent all of the country. So I may very well know that nominee A is, let's say, someone who drinks directly from the milk carton (just making up an issue here for the example), and that may be enough for me to not vote for him, but at a hearing I get a chance to ask him, under oath, if he drinks directly from the carton so that he must admit to it in front of everyone else as well which may sway other congressional members.

So to put it in terms of this nominee and this situation, Leahy has the right by his elected office to grill this man under oath and force him to publicly air any conflicts of interest/unseemly judgments/severe deficiencies of character/whatever else there may be there to uncover. In fact that is a major point of the whole process, in fact I would go so far as to say that the overwhelming majority of congressmen to ever grill a nominee probably already had their mind made up about the nominee but were just wanting to use the questioning to display those perceived shortcomings to the general audience.

They couldn't take a vote for his "last" appointee, McConnell followed the Biden Rule and that Judge wasn't considered because the President violated the Biden rule and nominated a candidate in his, (the President's), lame duck year before an election.

Look at you trying to defer responsibility to Biden. Biden didn't do this. Your boys did. Own it.

Biden never ever said that.

The Democrats in control of the Senate never did that.
