I find it pretty amusing to hear liberals talking about disrespecting the "intent" of the constitution, considering that liberals generally don't give 2 shits about constitutional intent, preferring instead to interpret the constitution according to what they think is right and just. On those latter terms, a senate delaying for 11 months is less offensive to constitutional intent than, for example, the judiciary reading the due process clause to somehow give women the unfettered right to have an abortion until the point of viability in her pregnancy.
