The Party of No Can't Agree On How to Say No

Roll Call reports Senate Republicans are so dysfunctional they don't even know how to oppose President Barack Obama's Supreme Court pick.


McConnell, according to a senior leadership aide, has stressed to his colleagues that “it doesn’t make any sense to make any pronouncements in the first 72 hours of a process that could take six months.” Supreme Court Justice David Souter, 69, announced he was resigning the court at the end of this term.

Senate Republican leaders are still fuming over the Conference’s handling of Holder’s nomination for attorney general earlier this year. Leaders had been plotting to ramp up opposition to the nomination but were largely sidelined after several high-profile Senators — including Sen. Orrin Hatch (R-Utah) — endorsed the pick.


I wasn't crazy about Eric Holder. The Republicans weren't able to filibuster Holder. Hysterical.
