Two words

RECESS APPOINTMENT

not a damn thing Republicans can do about it.

IT'S CONSTITUTIONAL AND HAS PRECEDENT

One word:

WRONG

The Senate does not have to recess. Some minor matter can be found to keep the Senate in cession:

Fourth, strongly on the Senate’s side, the decision left it largely up to the Senate to decide when it does take a recess, allowing it to avoid the formality of a recess by taking some legislative action, however minor or inconsequential and however few senators actually take part in some action.

Is a recess appointment to the Court an option? (UPDATED)

HA HA. You lose!

=============
And if Republicans tried that the American people would repopulate the Senate with Democrats.

Every Republican Senator and Representative up for re-election would lose.

Because the American people will not stand for any more Republican Obstructionism and they see right through the demands to wait until the Republicans get another shot at it.

THE CONSTITUTION DOES NOT GIVE REPUBLICANS A RIGHT TO A PERMANENT SUPREME COURT MAJORITY

The republicans would be taking a huge risk by not appointing. They sure don't have a strong candidate so there is a good chance they will lose president. Obstructing will only make losing the presidency more likely. If they stall the next Justice could be picked by a dem pres and dem congress.

 

[PaintMyHouse]

please explain it .
if republican refuse obama nominee in senate.then what can obama do ?

nominate someone else.

==========
Recess appointment -=-- it's right in the Constitution but of course Republicans don't believe in the Constitution ( despite how much they claim to love it ) when it doesn't go their way.

a recess appointment can only be done WHEN THE SENATE HAS DECLARED ITSELF IN RECESS. The GOP controls the senate, they will not declare a recess as long as this remains unsettled.

They are in recess currently.

You keep forgetting the fact the Dems continue to get shellacked in elections. Perhaps you should be figuring out why that is

Why you ask ?? outside of the 2 elections where obama kicked repub ass it was lack of dem participation We won't make that mistake again ,,sass Get ready for another asskickin

13 Senate seats are really up for grabs according to this site............2 of them are blue now........So really it's gonna be down to these states............

please explain it .
if republican refuse obama nominee in senate.then what can obama do ?

Luckily the Democrats can use this politically.

both parties will use it politically, don't be naïve.

sure both will use it politically red but who do you see looking like the bad guys there?

depends on which party you support. since 65% of the country doesn't support Obama, you decide who will benefit from this.

I don't believe that 65% stuff Red and even if it was so I'd bet more don't support republicans In any case if repubs turn down 4,5 of obamas choices imho it will only look worse for repubs

it will only look bad to leftists perhaps far leftists

everyone else will cheer

 

[bripat9643]

They see America as merely another State in a 'Global Community.'

How very odd, since that's exactly what it is...

They don't represent the World's interests. They represent Americans and their Constitution. They're not the UN.

Nope, but the rest of the world matters and sometimes their laws are better than ours. Use what works, not just what you yourself invented. Think beyond your own tiny spot on earth.

"Those ______s have cars, but we're Americans, so we'll stick with horses" is no way to approach life.

So just chuck the Constitution? Is that what you're proposing, you frikken Nazi?

 

[Arizona Willie]

Why not Red? How long have republicans held the advantage for?? A new broom sweeps clean A dem on the SC will ""make America great again""

the court has been balanced with Kennedy as the swing vote. another lib will tilt it to the left and the country as a free democratic republic will be over. The GOP controls the senate, its an election year. Obozo will not be allowed to put another lib on the court.

he could recess appoint next January

The Senate will NEVER recess

Right, SCOTUS ruled that the senate must declare that it is in recess, the president can't do it.

Even if you don't let Obama nominate a justice that's great for us in November.

We dare you.

Thank you God. This proves gods a liberal

===========
The Constitution does not give Republicans a right to a permanent Supreme Court Majority.

Any Republican Senator or Representative who indulges in more Republican Obstructionism will be voted out if they are up for re-election.

The American people are sick and tired of Republican Obstruction and we will not tolerate any more of it.

65% aren't happy with Obama but 90% aren't happy with Republicans. How else do you explain trump?

That is because of the electoral voting system............Population centers solid blue are the thwarting factor...............NY.........Cali...........and Florida with Little Havana..................which is why your side wants more immigration................strategy to take Texas with those votes............

 

[Brain357]

not to mention the "we the people" losers forget that "we the people" elected this president twice and WANT him to nominate justices.

little maroons.

he can nominate all he wants

getting in though may be harder

--LOL

so "we the people" only matters when it's the winger brigade at the far right of the loony spectrum?

okie dokie, nut bar.

hey cry all you want but just because a prezbo picks one

does not mean they get the seat

it is a fact

============
Recess appointment if the Senate blocks voting on his nominee(s)

Republicans DO NOT HAVE A RIGHT TO A PERMANENT SUPREME COURT MAJORITY

the senate controls the >>consent<< part of the deal

you want obamas nominee get the seat

make sure it is one that the republicans like

I hope it is somebody in the middle that isn't so political.

McConnell: Senate should not confirm Scalia's replacement until after election

McConnell: After the election.

Possible outcomes if Republicans stall on confirmation

1. Republicans win presidency and hold Senate and name a Conservative Justice

2. Republicans win Presidency but Democrats win Senate and refuse to confirm a Conservative nominee

3. Democrats win Presidency but Republicans hold Senate, Republicans refuse to confirm

4. Democrats win both presidency and Senate and name a Liberal

You left out a possiblity....

Republicans win the presidency, Democrats win the Senate, pull the trigger on the nuclear option in the Senate to approve with a simple majority -- and confirm Obama's Liberal nominee before the Republican president is sworn in on January 20th.

Republicans claim to LOVE the Constitution.

UNLESS it doesn't call for things to be done THEIR WAY

Then they want to wipe their ass with it

Bush even said " it's just a fuckin' piece of paper " when it got in his way.

are Republicans going to DEMAND we wait another four years until they can try for another Republican President again?

As you have ignored the will of the people who have given the GOP the Congress and Senate...........and for Obstructionism of bills from the House by tactics that Reid employed to prevent bills from getting to Obama's desk........................

Now you want to complain about it after your side has used this tactic repeatedly.........................

You will not get the nomination.............Want it.............Hillary has to win..............Or you will have to make MASSIVE CONSESSIONS in buying the votes from Republicans in Name only for an appointment.........

Perhaps you can nominate a real constitutionalist...........novel idea.
