How's about THIS choice for Justice by Obama....

[hadit]

The SC does not "represent" anyone, it weighs laws against the Constitution.

Forgot to ask......Why are then soooooo many 5-4 decisions by the SCOTUS?

Quite obviously, there are differing levels of Constitutional knowledge and adherence on the court. It should not really be that difficult to decide, for example, if obamadon'tcare's individual mandate is a tax or a fee, and based on that, whether it is Constitutional for the government to force citizens to buy a product. It is obvious that picks for the SC have not recently been totally based on Constitutional knowledge and judicial temperament. Remember the statue of Lady Justice? She is supposed to represent the judicial ideal, and she wears a blindfold. The court is not supposed to "represent" grievance groups, it is supposed to dispassionately weigh laws against the Constitution.

Looks like Obama forced her resignation, why would he nominate her?

Arizona's U.S. Attorney, Diane Humetewa, the nation's first-ever Native American woman to become a U.S. Attorney in any state, will resign on August 2.

Sandy Raynor, spokeswoman for the office, says Humetewa plans on spending some time with her family before figuring out her next career move.

As far as we know, Humetewa hasn't screwed up -- it's just politics. She was appointed by President George W. Bush. As the White House announced a few weeks ago, former Janet Napolitano chief of staff Dennis Burke has been nominated by President Obama to be the U.S. Attorney in Arizona.

Melissa Schwartz, spokeswoman for the Department of Justice in Washington D.C., explains, "the appointment of a new U.S. Attorney as a political appointee is part of the political process."

U.S. Attorneys serve at the pleasure of the sitting president, and President Obama is likely to replace the U.S. Attorneys in all 94 districts with his own choices, she says, adding that former President Clinton did just that.

He also appointed her as a Judge... She resigned by the way, standard procedure between administrations.

They're playing by Obama's rules and should never have vowed to just block.

True, but following the Kevin McCarthy's moment of "candor"...those republican senators and presidential candidates showed their crooked mindset.

Like I said, they're playing by Obama's rules. They should have let him go out and make a fool of himself by politicizing this death and vowing to check all the grievance groups' boxes with an appointment, then stated emphatically that they have the final say. I didn't like it when the dems played politics trying to keep Bush from appointing minorities to the bench, and I don't think Republicans should either. They should do their job. They have authority, use it.

 

[CowboyTed]

Nope. we the majority of the people who disapproves of the lame ass duck in office and while we have a Presidential election coming up soon: say NO to anyone he choses. so sorry
He should just go play golf.

According to THIS right wing idiot, Obama got RE-elected for just 3 years and not four?

And these are the constitution experts...

o seriously, you think the first qualification for a justice is their ... race? really?

NO, nitwit......I pointed her out because of her 96-0 confirmation.

Actually, stupid fuck, the first qualification you listed was her race

o seriously, you think the first qualification for a justice is their ... race? really?

NO, nitwit......I pointed her out because of her 96-0 confirmation.

"Bork was a circuit judge for the United States Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit between 1982 and 1988. He was nominated by President Reagan on December 7, 1981, was confirmed with a unanimous consent voice vote by the Senate on February 8, 1982,[19] and received his commission on February 9, 1982."

How did he fair being nominated for Supreme Court Justice?

I remember that. Ted Kennedy went on a hate rampage and got him shot down.

There are 3 conservatives, 4 liberals, and 2 who don't know what they believe

Your math is a bit off....There are 3 conservative (with one, God bless his soul) who are at the right of Attila the Hun, 4 liberal, and 2 conservatives (Kennedy and Roberts nominated by republican presidents) who actually have some understanding of the Constitution.

 

[nat4900]

How did he fair being nominated for Supreme Court Justice?

First the word should be "fare"....

Bork openly stated that he was AGAINST voter's rights, AGAINST the ACLU, and AGAINST women's rights...After those assertions, what exactly were this guy's expectations to be confirmed?

Let's go to the video tape

WASHINGTON -- The Senate quietly made history when it confirmed Diane Humetewa as a federal judge -- the first Native American woman to ever hold such a post.
Humetewa was confirmed 96-0 to serve on the U.S. District Court for the District of Arizona

Fucking liar

How it works:

Obama nominates a native American who's semi-literate and to the left of Chairman Mao.
Republicans say "NO"
Obama hold a press conference to tell the world that Republicans hate Indians.

Obama then nominates an Italian-American who looks and acts like old Benito.
Republicans say "NO"
Obama holds a press conference to tell the world that Republicans hate Italians.

Obama then nominates a Black Panther mouthpiece.
Republicans say "NO"
Obama holds a press conference to tell the world that Republicans hate blacks.

But, on the brighter side, He isn't spending your tax money jetting off to his Hawaiian Tee Time or churning out new unconstitutional executive order while he's so busy.

Seen, it's GOOD for America!

Roberts found that Obama can set up a "federal exchange" controlling your healthcare exchange where exactly in the Constitution?

And Kennedy found where exactly that government can confiscate your land for the benefit of government where exactly?

Congratulations on the Fare vs Fair.

You're an accomplished nitpicker.

the point, since you seemed to have missed it, is that Bork received UNANAMOUS backing for Circuit Judge, and got shot down quickly

Just because your choice also had an unanimous vote, does not mean she will fare well as a nominee for SCOTUS.


Understand now?

 

[nat4900]

Just because your choice also had an unanimous vote, does not mean she will fare well as a nominee for SCOTUS.

Great......and THAT is why I just posed this judge's name as a "suggestion" and NOT a done deal.
The difference is that this judge is a tabula rasa (a clean slate)....while Bork had come off as an ultra partisan hack since backing Nixon during Watergate.

 

[nat4900]

Write to them and find out....(and check back with us)

 

[Auld Phart]

She doesn't have a 'clean slate' til she's nominated and approved by the Senate, who are very likely to go even deeper into her background than anyone has before.

You may....(perhaps)......be showing your redneck with the above...Expected from many right wing morons, but usually others make an attempt at hiding their racism....Congratulations on your sick "honesty".

Putting someone in a position of power because of their race is an insult to them and to the american people
