Everybody is arguing if the Senate should or should not confirm the appointment and it's kind of funny to me, all the fake outrage. I read these posts and all I see is the doctor in "Lawrence of Arabia" after the "Arabs" take Damascus yelling "Outrageous!" as he's walking through seeing the dirty conditions and the poor care of the wounded. While his rage was genuine, I doubt that anyones here on this board or in the United States is.
Republicans are seeing a chance to get not just one Supreme Court Justice on the bench, but two if Ginsburg happens to retire. Even if they only think their guy has a .0000000000137546% chance of winning, they are going to hold up the confirmation because there is still that chance.
And we all know, if a Republican was sitting in the White House and the Democrats had control of the Senate, we would be in the same exact position.
The people voted in Obama and they voted to give control of the Senate to Republicans. So I guess the people wanted the president to appoint a Supreme Court Justice and the people wanted the Senate to hold up the confirmation as well.
