Just a point of history; No Supreme Court justice has ever been confirmed in a president's last year in office.

I didn't see an article in the al tribune unless i missed it. Id think that they could have had an article on it to at least acknowledge it and have a more full article on it on Monday.

Thank you Liberal I stand corrected. Looks like I was given some bad info thanks for the correction. Though the list says election year appointments, so how many were for presidents who were reelected?
I'll do some checking.

Cardozo and Hoover could be what you're looking for if you're looking for a historical equivalent.
It's almost like the republicans believe the Constitution has some fairness clause, and power shifting from right to left is some terrible thing. The balance of power shifts in this country by design, if you can't handle that then maybe a monarchy, or theocracy is more your style.

I guess it'll come down to wether or no the republicans have any scrots, sure a recess appointment can be put in but is that for the session or till the senate reconvenes?
