It's Official. No Obama nominee

[WildBillKelsoe]

This is the part you are refusing to accept:
2: He shall have Power, by and with the Advice and Consent of the Senate, to make Treaties, provided two thirds of the Senators present concur; and he shall nominate, and by and with the Advice and Consent of the Senate, shall appoint Ambassadors, other public Ministers and Consuls, Judges of the supreme Court, and all other Officers of the United States, whose Appointments are not herein otherwise provided for, and which shall be established by Law: but the Congress may by Law vest the Appointment of such inferior Officers, as they think proper, in the President alone, in the Courts of Law, or in the Heads of Departments."
Notice where it says: "and he shall nominate, and by and with THE FUCKING CONSENT!!!!!!! of the Senate shall appoint.......................Judges of the supreme court........".
You REALLY are a fucking idiot!
It's as plain as the black on Obama's face.

This will end up egg on the GOPs face when it comes time for voting in November. If the GOP were smart, what they would do is let Obama nominate whomever he wants to, THEN hold hearings on the person and they could reject that person straight out if they wanted to.

Instead what the GOP is coming off as is obstructionists and during the election that is exactly what the ads will say against them. It will cost them seats in the senate as well as the presidency. Clearly the GOP isn't smart at all. The GOP is going for the nutter vote and it will cost them dearly in the end.

Oh and just to make sure there is any question of civility to you, there isn't. Fuck off you idiot!

I doubt this will have any effect on the election.

It will with those that aren't in the base of the GOP or Dems. And that is basically who will decide the election in congress. If the senate goes to the Dems and the presidency goes to the Dems, the GOP is screwed.

Those are big ifs.

Time will tell.

It sure will.

 

[jon_berzerk]

sure--LOL whatever bub

you can see the same poll from other sources

but you knew that

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.

so you did know of the poll

--LOL

Yes...are you not paying attention?

indeed i am

you look small and petty

That, of course, is your opinion. Feel free to have one.

indeed

 

[jknowgood]

I would not draw any conclusions at this point.

The Republican Senate can make this claim until they're blue in the face, but anyone trusting them would be foolish.
I'm not going to assume anything until Obama is actually out of office.

I would agree with you normally. In this case though the REP Senators have put their political careers on the line. And they all know it.
None of them is going to cave now.
The GOP backroom boys have guaranteed that if any of them lose their seat as a result of voting against even considering an Obama nominee that Senator will be financially and politically well taken care of. They are in a no-lose situation.

I look forward to the Democrats putting up Political Ads showing the U.S. Constitution and pointing out that the Republican Senators are not doing the job they were elected to do. If they don't like a President Obama appointment, vote him/her down. Then they ARE doing their job. Everyone remember the last time the Republicans shut down the Government?

Then the republicans can show an ad showing in 92 Biden saying what republicans ar saying.

There is a big big difference between saying something and actually doing something. If the Republicans actually DO refuse to DO their job......those Democrat ads will be delightfully easy to produce.

So in your world, it's okay if a liberal does it. As long as a Republican doesn't. We are playing in your play book, get used to it.

 

[jon_berzerk]

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.

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.

Awwww, look! The race card...lol

Its really all you have, ain't it...LMAO!

a little sad really

 

[paperview]

Eternal chin McConnell hurt his party when he announced there would be no consideration.

How so?

McConnell proved that the GOP are bald faced obstructionist.

Yeah...they're obstructing Obama's communist agenda, which is what the people want.

This from the guy who yesterday actually fell for a fake news story and thought Obama Executive Ordered a Muslim to the Supreme Court.

This from a guy who doesn't know that the Republicans have owned Congress, ever since Obama got elected.

And he fucks up again.

Section 2 contains only one clause. Note the first sentence. '; and' does not constitute the beginning of a second clause.
The first sentence lays out the "consent" provision. Nowhere in Section 2 are the words: "simple majority".
Wise up. You're making a fool of yourself.

It's hard to talk to people that have a hard time comprehending basic English when it's written. Did they ever teach you about ";" (semicolon if you don't know that that means). A joins two related ideas (or clauses) in a sentence. Notice the semicolon between the treaties clause and the public official clause.

Secondly, if I'm wrong then explain how Associate Justice Alito was confirmed with a vote of 58-42. There are 100 Senators so 2/3rds would be 66.66 or 67 as a minimum voting to confirm and he didn't get that many votes.


The only one looking the fool is you because of basic reading issues.

Who the hell is Chief Justice Alito?

My bad, I apologize. I should have typed "Associate Justice".

Error on my part.

Nobody is stopping your fucking president from fulfilling his Constitutional obligation to NOMINATE a candidate.

Nominating a replacement isn't his only Constitutional obligation in this regard. With the Senate, he is also obligated to fill vacancies in the Supreme Court. They are denying a president from fulfilling his Constitutional responsibilities.

correct it only takes a simple majority unless congress changes the laws of congress

they could even let a president make the decision himself

No Democrat Senate ever shut down the confirmation process to prevent a Republican president from appointing a Supreme Court Justice. So no, that's not from the Democrat's playbook, this is how the right operates.

That's OK.

The headline on Fox News after the news broke was: "Supreme Court Chief Justice Scalia Dies"

For realz.

How so?

McConnell proved that the GOP are bald faced obstructionist.

Yeah...they're obstructing Obama's communist agenda, which is what the people want.

This from the guy who yesterday actually fell for a fake news story and thought Obama Executive Ordered a Muslim to the Supreme Court.

This from a guy who doesn't know that the Republicans have owned Congress, ever since Obama got elected.

And he fucks up again.

The 2010 midterms were the biggest upset in 60 years, favoring the Republicans.

They passed a resolution to prevent the confirmation process in an election year.

Are forgetting 2008 -2011 -- When House and Senate were Democrat?
From 2010 to 2013 - The Dems still owned the Senate?
From 2013 to Jan 2015 - The Dems still owned the Senate?

I'm guessing you are....unless you have a different definition of *owned congress* that doesn't include the Senate, and another one that revises the meaning of *since Obama got elected.*
