ChicagoSunTimes: Sen. Mark Kirk, R-Ill., on Friday said his GOP colleagues should “man up and cast a vote” on Supreme Court nominee Merrick Garland, further breaking from his GOP Senate leadership as the first Senate Republican to call for an up-or-down roll call.
Kirk’s position is not surprising since he already has said, in an op-ed published in the Chicago Sun-Times on Feb. 22, that President Barack Obama has a right to send a nominee to the Senate and that person should get a hearing. MORE
0bama is a LAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAME DUCK.
No one needs to do squat for him anymore.
He spent 8 years crying “I won”, so ef’m.
yeah, since when is the party of welfare and redistribution suddenly the party of “do your job”?
The elections over, they won. They’re doing the job (hopefully) that we sent them there for.
Mark Kirk was an insufferable liberal/progressive republican before his stroke caused the brain damage we see now.
Kirk is an appropriate representation of Illinois where corruption, graft and democratic control is self inflicted incurable disease.
Kirk is up for reelection this fall and he’s showing his true REgressive colors. Fuck him. You can bet your butt that McConnell OKed this bullshit 100% before Kirk opened his soup coolers
“…breaking from his GOP Senate leadership…” My ass.
It always cracks me up when they list Kirk as a GOP Senator. He and about 80% of his so called GOP colleagues are more closely aligned with the DNC!
Injured in an accident?
Call
Merrick, Garland & Dunn
For the people
Yeah. We really do need one more lockstep big government Leftist on the court so ever more of our rights can be trampled by totalitarian Democrats.
If the current 0bama SOCTUS pick gets shot down, I bet he’ll nominate a minority woman, which will be virtually unstoppable nomination even if it’s a slack-jawed idiot like Sheila Jackson-Lee. That said, I won’t be counting on courage or integrity from any politician of any party.
Just do nothing …
it’s what GOP does best …
No Hearing … No Vote … No Nothing …
tell Obola to Eat Shit and Die …
or just say nothing.
Sometimes discretion is the better part of valor.
Scottie is that transporter fixed yet? We need to beam Kirk outtahere.
He’s urging them to “man up” by bending over to take a FATAL wound up the ass ?!
If republicans want to follow this pie-piper they’ll deserve their stroll into the abyss.
Obama must have tons of dirt in this compliant, complicit, scumbag.
Mark “Dick Dirbin is my friend” Kirk will soon be retired by Duckworth. Kirk thinks his hot air about national security & Syrian refugees blah blah
Obviously his idea of “man up” is to bend over and grab your ankles.
