Oh here we go. You come on here, Lording it over everyone , accusing people of being liars, pretending to be some kind of strict Constitutional expert. I provide 2/3 perfectly reasonable rebuttals to your views and now all of a sudden you have gone deaf or can no longer read. Take your BS off somewhere else. Another one for the ignore list.

This is a must bigger and more important question. Well spotted.

You'll be chewing on your own tail next. Sounds like YOU are getting "creative" with your interpretation now. How ironic.

It says nothing about Reps having to accept or approve a Democratic nomination in a lame-Duck election year. Here is the full Constitutional text of the Appointment Clause: That's it. No words indicating the need to rush into any nomination at any given time. And as someone else has pointed out, where is the compulsion to use the Constitution to appoint anti-Constitutional judges? Makes no sense.The facts stand. Post WW2 lame duck appointments are as rare as hens teeth.

You've have missed the point by a country mile somehow. The culture of politics has changed since WW2. It has nothing to do with the Constitution. The lack of post WW2 appointments speaks to this loud and proud.

Note how 99% of the appointment you presented for us are pre WW2. Politics changed dramatically after this period. It makes little sense to attempt to see all of political history as a contiguous flow of sentiment and practice.Post WW2 style politics, which we still enjoy today, has elected a massive 1 justice to-date. It is no longer the common practice it was way way back in the mists of time. This becomes obvious when one looks at the massive divergence of time between appointments pre and post ww2. It is simply disingenuous to look all the way back in time. It hasn't been 1796 for a very long time. Politically, and socially it's hard to give too much weight to events that occurred before most of our great-great-grandparents were born. The political culture is a different animal today versus before WW2.

There are a couple of definitions for the lame-duck period: I don't see how 14 appointments in 220 years constitutes a 'long history' during these periods.

WaPo Calls for Establishment Coup Against Trump Trigger warning for Belo. There is a photo in the linked article that has a Black person in it. You might find the whole thing racist as a result: http://www.breitbart.com/big-government/2016/03/17/washington-post-calls-for-establishment-coup-against-trump/

Big change is on the wind for the nation. Probably involve a lot of growing pains

With 'Republicans' like you, who even needs liberals? lol

lol. Please don't leave the site. We all enjoy basking in the glow of your constant hypocrisy and inanity. Most enjoyable

The problem is Liberals have a tendency to burn the whole house down if they don't get their way, with you and I still inside.

They're all slowly capitulating on this now. That is what the GOP does these days, caves in. Historically it is very rare to have a Judge nominated in an election year. It would be quite normal to have the nomination denied.

Believe me, by the time they reach college, they are already far gone. Most can't even compose a coherent, grammatically sound sentence. Fortunately I do not teach in the English department. Nothing to say on your inane belligerency earlier in the thread then? Typical SJW. Move the goalposts and resort to mindless denigration. It seems many here are on to you. I am surprised you have the neck to pipe back in. That says something right there.

Well, it's Trump or the child rapist protector. You choose.

Looking like Trump is gonna take Florida

Classic Social Justice Warrior behavior. If they can't censor, the infiltrate to destroy

You still sniffin around?

Wrong-think is as bad as racism. I hope he/she schooled you.

American education has become little more than Pavlovian response training.
