>Don't be surprised if that factors heavily in my decision. 1. How is that going to affect your decision? Who can you vote for that will ensure the SC seat goes to a conservative? 2. How do you feel about the unprecedented blocking of the President from doing this Constitutional duty of appoint SC justices for 9+ months? Or is that just a small price to pay to get your religious beliefs installed in the highest court in the land?

> Or is that just a small price to pay to get your religious beliefs installed in the highest court in the land? I don't know why you were downvoted, but I would like to point out that many laws are based on religion, like marrying only one person, or not stealing and killing. We take these for granted because we grew up with them. So, I'm not sure the argument that they are "installing religious beliefs" does much to convince religious people that they are overreaching. Their feeling is that they are saving people, and they feel this can be done through politics as well as it can be done in person. I'm not sure I agree with those who vote this way. I just wanted to throw it out there since I doubt you'll get a reply from a religious person.

  Nah, they just don't like me pointing out facts. Like the fact that this is Constitutional obstruction and is completely unprecented. Too much cognitive dissonance for people who are probably already completely overwhelmed at this point in the cycle, given the turmoil on that side of the aisle. That's why I won't get a reply from any of the small downvoters.

    I agree that blocking a nominee steps way beyond the roles outline in the U.S. Constitution. Hopefully, it gets taken to the courts and they agree. Like gerrymandering and fillbustering, it's one of these stupid games that the sides play.
