68. Why isn't the position filled already?

Do you think they will fill it if a Dem gets in? There is no legal recourse to not filling it. They may drown the court in the bathtub like they wanted to do the government.

There's that immoral argument again... CrowCityDem Apr 2016 #1

Trump is flashy and Bettie Apr 2016 #139

Excellent point! Jeb was pathetic. I think he got pushed into that. n/t RKP5637 Apr 2016 #145
I think so also - I think he knew it was not a good time for him DrDan Apr 2016 #146
