People please, if Roy Moore had won the seat, the Republicans would have 'sat' him immediately.

Politricks, plain and simple, stop defending it.

No they wouldn't have. This is just like the presidential election. Hillary won the popular vote, but didn't win the electoral college. Dems answer? Get rid of the electoral college. Seems y'all want to throw out the rules when they don't suit YOU. Moore would've been seated in January, period.
 

It will be fine

That's a false equivalency argument. Who cares when they would have seated the child molester, it wouldn't change the vote count. They aren't seating Doug because they lose a vote, period.

Nope, rules are rules, winners always get seated in January. Y'all want to seat him now in hopes of affecting major votes, rules be damned.

McConnel follows whatever rules he feels like. He disregarded the rules saying the senate should advise and consent to a president's Supreme Court choice for a year.

And it's tradition to not consider Supreme Court choices in a lame duck's final year. Look it up. It was his choice to make, not a Constitutional mandate. Consider that Obama usurped Congressional oversight with all of his "czars" not to mention many of his directives. So what goes around comes around. I didn't see Obama trying to force the issue before the Supreme Court. All he could do was complain. That's why they're known as lame ducks.

I’m going to say something really crazy: I believe in science. Climate change is real and we have a moral obligation to protect this Earth for our children and grandchildren.

DNA is also based in science. Yours does not show you are Native American. So either you are an outright liar or you actually don’t believe in science. Which is it, #Liewatha Elizabeth Warren on Twitter
