Breaking: Justice Scalia has died

[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.

How the rest of the world views anything is irrelevant. Supreme Court Justices represent America and its Constitution. The Big Government Globalists don't have America's best interests in mind. They don't feel any real allegiance to the country or the Constitution. We definitely don't need more of them serving on our Supreme Court.

Some people, not you, can keep more than one thing in their minds at the same time. America is not the only country that matters, even to Americans.

America is the only country that matters to rational Americans.

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

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

You twit, dems got shellacked in the last two...why? Try to be honest with yourself for once. Just posting "repubs suck" isn't anything. Get some substance

Low voter turnout. It wasn't because they voted for you. You just turned them off on thinking it matters

Obamacare....you know it, stop making excuses

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.

=============
Or Bernie wins

or the Ice Queen wins

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

Republicans do not have a Constitutional right to a permanent Supreme Court Majority.

the wingers don't understand why clinton ousted daddy bush. they don't understand why bill clinton was a two term president. they don't understand why baby bush needed to be appointed by the supreme court and they don't understand why this president, who they hate beyond all rational thought, was elected twice by a majority of the electorate.

they are angry and desperate and they know the court makes them do terrible things they hate... like not deny people public accommodation in public businesses.

 

[jon_berzerk]

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.

that would be nice

Nope. Rational people don't care only about themselves, and their nation. They know other people exist, and are equally important. Infants, like you, not so much.

Just how divorced from reality are you? Yes, the last election went to Republicans but the one before that went to Democrats. Democrats gained seats in the House, gained seats in the Senate, held onto control of the Senate, and won the presidency.

Certainly as far as the Supreme Court goes. The rest of the world's actions and beliefs are completely irrelevant. If that's the concern to Big Government Globalists, let em go work for the UN.

How things will play out

Obama will nominate a moderate left judge
Republicans will block the nomination
Hillary will win and Dems will take the Senate
A lame duck Republican Senate will move to approve the moderate
Obama will withdraw the nomination and defer to Hillary
Hillary will name a young liberal judge who will sit on the court for 30 years

My crystal ball is fogged up.....yours is still working?

It is the risk Republicans are running

Accept the moderate left judge Obama will nominate or risk the liberal judge Hillary would nominate

Choose your poison

You are so sure of her winning via the liberal population enclaves...............

Me..........Not so much...............depends on who goes against her................will they take the gloves off and get in the mud...................

We know that is where she thrives and it is part of your normal strategy.........Perhaps you haven't had the right one in the Mud with you yet..................

 

[Faun]

Republicans have not even picked a candidate yet and we are 11 MONTHS away from the next president
That means even if a Republican wins, it will take another four months to select and confirm a Justice

That would mean 15 months with a vacancy......will the people stand for it?
That's a lot of tie votes

Tie votes??

I think not. Many votes were already 5-4 in favor of Liberal positions and the court just lost a conservative vote.

It's too early for this but I wonder, was Justice Ginsburg planning on retiring at the end of the term, or will Justice Scalia's death provoke her to now?

 

[eagle1462010]

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

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

The year of the Insurgency............remember that when you select Hillary..............

 

[sealybobo]

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.

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.

We have bush alito and Roberts. Your turn. Sotomayor not enough. One more.
