No. You're wrong. The first clause defines the percentage required for advice and consent.
That's right. The Senate has just officially ruled they will not even consider any Obama SCJ nominee.
This means President Trump and his REP majority Senate will be able to choose, during President Trump's two terms about 5-6 REP SCJ's.
This will fundamentally affect the social direction of America for decades!
To GOD be the praise!
GOP Judiciary: No hearing on Obama court nominee
How did your "phone and pen" work out for you asshole?
If you hadn't acted like the piece of shit you are you may have had more cooperation across the aisle.
Hillary just got news today a judge has questioned her motive for having a secret private server hidden in her bathroom closet.
I give Hillary a couple of weeks before she drops out for 'health reasons'. Leaving Bernie to go against Trump.
Blame Debbie. She was the one who told Biden and Warren to piss off. "Theirs services were not required".
You're right. Under General Information

However, this Senate wouldn't provide a simple majority so the vote wouldn't be taken unless some RINOs bailed out.You're right. Under General Information

Thank you for being honorable.

That's an old poll. A recent poll shows Trump gets about 8% of Democrat voters and Hillary get about 10% of Republican voters.Poll: Nearly 20 Percent of Democrats Would Vote for Trump Over Hillary

Maybe you did but you don't speak for all GOP voters.America voted to obstruct Obama. Get real. LOLMore likely than that, Democrats win the Senate because America rejects the party of "no"s final obstructionist stand. Obama submits his nominee during the first week of January, and the new Democrat Senate confirms him or her.That's right. The Senate has just officially ruled they will not even consider any Obama SCJ nominee.

Re-read my post, I already did. I even highlighted the salient word.Of course, there is. While they are not required to approve whomever the president puts up, they are required to consider nominees. The Constitution says the president shall nominate, and by and WITH the advice and consent of the Senate, shall appoint a judge to the Supreme Court.There is no constitutional requirement for the Senate to take any action whatsoever in the matter of Supreme Court Justice nominations.
Please explain the obligation of the Senate to take action using the language contained in the article. Be specific.
There is no room in there for the Senate to shut the confirmation process down; but to work with the president to fill vacancies.
Absolute nonsense.
The GOP electorate alone doesn't win elections. Perhaps you've forgotten that.You don't understand the GOP electorate.There are more GOP senators up for reelection than Democrats....Would be interesting to see what happens when the "GOP is the party of Do-Nothings" ads start hitting.Do you think the Democrats won't vote for our Repulican Senators? Yow that hurts.Apparently they think so. I wonder what the rest of the country will think.Good for the Senate. It's doing the right thing.
If the Senate had confidence that Obama would do his job and nominate candidates or the kinds of candidates that the Senate would advise him to select, then maybe this issue wouldn't be so contentious.
Obama, knowing that the Senate has the final authority on the selection, will not pick pick one that the Senate would consent to. He's an obstructionist.
Republican obstructionism is a good thing?
Not for Approving a Supreme Court Justice as has been pointed out.Appointment after confirmation. Which is (two thirds of the Senators present concur)Reading comprehension is a bitch, ain't it, PMH?
Just to point out...
You might want to read the Constitution.
The 2/3rds requirement applies to treaties, not the confirmation of public officials.

Advice and consent requires two-thirds of the Senate. Period.
What is this Biden Rule of which you speak?The Biden Rule is enforce here. No election year appointments to SCOTUS.So Justice Scalia was admired for his strict adherence to the constitution. But the Republicans in the Senate have determined the constitutions wrong! They want us to believe that a President's term is only three years long!
What's it gonna be, Conservatives? Strict adherence to the constitution as Scalia championed, or this new misinterpretation the Senate Republicans want to sell you?
It must be hard to have to use your brain on this one.
That, of course, is your opinion. Feel free to have one.Yes...are you not paying attention?It IS interesting that you neglected to mention that the same poll also indicated a 16% crossover from Republican to Democrat if Trump is the GOP nominee....Let's see...20% vs 16% with approximately a 3.5% error rate....hmmmmmm.I didn't say that Newsmax DID the poll now, did I? But anything posted by Newsmax is certainly suspect.
And that's Naval Aviator to you.
sure--LOL whatever bub
you can see the same poll from other sources
but you knew that
so you did know of the poll
--LOL
indeed i am
you look small and petty
It's imaginary since Biden never since Biden never said Bush couldn't nominate anyone in an election year. Near the end of June, and with a month off for August, Biden said he could nominate someone after the election in early November.What is this Biden Rule of which you speak?The Biden Rule is enforce here.

No. We will have lost our republican democracy, so Clinton will get her socialist juror for the Bench.So if Clinton is elected, the pouty republicans will stomp their feet and refuse to consider any nominees until such time in the future that a republican is elected president. Can we say......childish.
But they aren't offering their Advice and Consent, now are they?It says "and with the Advise and Consent". That means they give their permission. It is not mandated by the President.I don't have to pretend. It's very obvious. The Original Intent was for the Senate to give Advice and Consent. They, like stubborn children, are doin
Since they aren't doing their duty, maybe Obama should just skip the part they are refusing to do?
Of course they giving advice and they advise that they aren't going to let Obama have his nominee.
Eternal chin McConnell hurt his party when he announced there would be no consideration.
How so?
Nobody is stopping your fucking president from fulfilling his Constitutional obligation to NOMINATE a candidate.It's no mere coincidence that McConnell and the Republican Senators who are determined to not let Obama fulfill his Constitutional obligations are comprised of 8 out of 9 Senators from former slave states with the other three from states that were not yet admitted into the country when the confederacy seceded.The Republicans will become known as the Do-Nothing Party.
And that's fine, because most Americans don't want a nanny state.
but they are doing something
Exactly right! They're blocking Obama's commie agenda.
you know, it's getting really boring hearing idiots call things communism or socialism when they are too uneducated and ignorant to know what those economic concepts are.
moron... why don't' you just call him black which is really what you mean.
Voting in the opposition is effectively voting to obstruct the President.Maybe you did but you don't speak for all GOP voters.
If Kerry won, the senate would never let Bush pick a candidate after the election in Novemeber. Get use to Trump or Cruz or Rubio picking your next SP Justice.It's imaginary since Biden never since Biden never said Bush couldn't nominate anyone in an election year.
