Wrong again. (But that seems to be a trend with you.)i was rounding up.
The fact is, no justice has ever retired under a president not of his party with the exception of failing health. Ever. Full stop.
Justice Scalia would never, ever, ever have retired under Obama or Clinton. On pain of death he would have waited for a republican president to be in office before doing so. His death was very untimely in that regard.
The GOP's point (and it is a good one) is that with only 7 months till the election, and given that Scalia would never have retired under a democratic president, then the fair and right thing to do was to let the next president make the appointment no matter who that might be.
Was it Obama's RIGHT to make the appointment? Sure. Was he following over 200 years of precedent in doing so? No. He broke that.
With so little time left before the election, and given that appointment hearings can drag on for months anyway, Obama should have simply let it go and let the next president decide. In the end, he did anyway which was the GOP's point from the beginning.
All Obama did was get idiots like you to feel like he was somehow wronged. He wasn't. It was in fact Obama that went against every precedent by making the appointment in the manner he did. The last person to something like that was John Adams.
And he paid dearly for it. Thomas Jefferson took YEARS to even look at any of Adams's appointments he made before leaving office even replacing most of them with people of his own choosing. In fact, it took an order from the Supreme Court before Jefferson lifted a finger to do any of it.
Not since then has any president made such high ranking appointments so near the end of his presidency. The only reason Obama made that appointment was to make it look like the GOP was doing something wrong.
It worked on many people...but the fact is, they were well within their rights to do as they did.

They did make a choice. They chose to wait until the election was over. If Clinton had won, they would have approved Garland before she took office. If Trump won, they would have let Trump make the nomination.i was rounding up.
FOR GENERATIONS.

you know, you're right!!!..they thought they had it in the bag- they didn't plan on the citizens wanting Sanders enough to NOT vote or that Trump WOULD win. Hell Trump didn't think he was gong to win. He wanted to fly close enough to the sun to reap it's benefits..merciless to HillKill and her administration..a fly in the ointment and make tons of money from it.
But he won.
Now all those connected to him are going to jail- 67 went to jail over Watergate and honey, this ain't your Mama's Watergate..

He's in jail right now for crimes he committed two weeks ago that violated his probation for crimes he did between 1 and 7 years ago.
It remains to be seen what other crimes he will be charged with.

But still nothing to do with the election. Meanwhile, the investigation into FBI conspiracy and obstruction of justice continues

Wrong again.
One of the charges he has against him is lying to federal prosecutors regarding the election tampering.

Not lying to prosecutors, lying to investigators

Now you're just being stupid.
The Russian "interference" in the election. Interference, tampering, you know exactly what I'm talking about.
He lied about it. He knowingly gave false statements to investigators about details of meetings with questionable people and other details as well. All of the charges Manafort faces tie in to Donald Trump, even the money laundering charges from 7 years ago because they were done in partnership with Trump and his properties/dealings in Russia...which Manafort also lied about.

Yes, I know exactly what you are talking about, but it’s not election tampering. Posting crap on Facebook isn’t interfering, isn’t illegal.

Dumbass. The article explains that it is. The article details it all out for that little, Trump loving, moronic pea brain of yours.
You CAN read, can't you? (note to self: never ask a Trump lover if he can read as it's a redundant question.)

Yes, because if it is in print and you want to believe it, it must be true.
Again, posting on Facebook isn’t “tampering”, or even illegal.
