Breaking: Justice Scalia has died

[Avatar4321]

The Republican Senate better deny every last Obama nominee.

That won't work, the people won't stand for it

If they reject the first nominee, they will have a hard time rejecting the second

You really think people will have a hard time letting the new president pick the next justice? It seems only fair

what? In whose universe?!!!

You that scared of losing?

I don't see why you leftists are so upset about Republicans blocking any potential appointments. Why shouldn't we leave it to the next President to decide? Are you that scared of losing?

Why elect Presidents for 4 years if you only want them to be able to do their jobs for 3?

Obabble has proven he couldn't do the job for seven...why expect any difference?

Obama kicked you rwnj crackers twice and you are still butt hurt

This thread is a reminder of how this country is so hopelessly divided, and how it's so over.

If you'll excuse me, I'm going to go wash my hands and try and forget about this for a while.

To those here who have cheered the mans death, I sincerely hope you goons have a sleepless black night.

I wonder what affect this may have on this year's cases

You might have had a chance if elections were over and Obama was a lame duck

But with 11 months till the next president takes office, Republicans will not be able to stonewall such an important nomination

All Obama has to do is nominate an arch liberal, let Republicans reject it and then nominate someone slightly more moderate

Schumer has to threaten the full nuclear option to move McConnell on Supreme Court nomination

Schumer needs to issue this threat now, while it can still credibly be made: If McConnell doesn’t act on a nomination this year and Democrats fail to retake the Senate, then McConnell can simply delay forever. Republicans would certainly prefer a court split between four liberal and four conservative justices to one with a liberal majority.


But McConnell has to fear the possibility of losing his majority leader’s gavel—the Senate playing field doesn’t favor the GOP this year. And if he also fears Schumer will get rid of the filibuster even for Supreme Court nominations, then he’ll be motivated allow Obama to name a replacement for Scalia now. This way, McConnell would have more leverage. If waits, he risks winding up in the minority and having Schumer run roughshod over him. McConnell’s smart enough to know what the better choice is, and that’s acting now.


But to push him into action, Schumer has to prove he's ready to enter the launch codes and press the big red button.

yep, they have more seats up this term

Thomas Jefferson was very wary of the judiciary. He said if tyranny was to take over America it would come through the Supreme Court. He has many statements on this.

America doesn't need anymore Citizens United lunatics on the Supreme Court.

Screw the first amendment, eh? It scares you when people can criticize you?

No surprise...you free shitters are in the majority. Maybe this time you will wake up and discover your free shit has an enormous price...in dignity, self worth...and freedom.

Breaking. Obama can appt a decent rational judge before leaving office!

HOw is he going to get someone YOU consider a "decent rational judge" on the court before he leaves?

Executive Order as he walks out the door?

can u imagine if bambi had to choose between Mike Lee and Adolf Hitler? who do u think he would choose?

 

[JoeB131]

And you are happy about the first amendment being in jeopardy. How messed up is that? Why should politicians be able to tell us we can't run ads against them criticizing them?

the transfer of wealth isn't speech, dude.

NO one is stopping a Koch Brother from getting to say what he wants.

He just shouldn't be able to buy up all the soap-boxes and drown everyone else out.

Obama has 341 days left......I'm finding it hard to believe they can stonewall constitutional duties for purely partisan intentions.

Maybe you'll get lucky and Obama will nominate another black for the bench.

Fat Irish Sow, you guys put Clarence "Uncle" Thomas on the Court with NO Judicial experience.
