He did, but the Inmates running the asylum left the post vacant for almost an entire year. Despite it being their Constitutionally mandated duty to vet the Presidents Nomination. Not play silly games and blow it off.
The GOP Stole this nomination, just try to imagine were the shoe on the other foot, the shrieking and shouting.

Could Obama have pushed his pick in even if he wanted to?
Not a “filibuster” proof number of votes. otherwise he would have.
No. In fact I don’t think we will ever again see a nominee confirmed by the other party.
So if it’s not confirmed by the other party it’s a no go?
That actually should be how it is - 2/3rds vote for the candidate.
No it is simple majority but they can also simply prevent an up-down voat if so inclined.
Waaaahhhhh!
Someone needs to punch that asshole in his turtle face.
What a shit show.
Of course Obama didn’t really push too hard for it, since he thought teh PIAPS was a sure thing…
STOLEN SEAT! Period.
I think it’s called “picking your battles” when Turtle all but told Obama before he announced his pick they they wanted “The American people to have a voice” I guess implying that it was the Mexican people or someone who elected Obama
