I see Obama as the enemy. I fully expect my side to fight any nomination that Obama puts up.
The goal should be to use every legal means available to prevent an Obama nomination from actually taking a seat on the court.
This can wait for the next president to decide.
So in the same situation with a GOP president and his term ending you would fight to have that nomination be delayed until the next president? Or is this just purely partisan hackery?
It's partisan hackery for Obama to be nominating a replacement for Scalia in an election year.
I'm sorry please point where in the Constitution it limits the time when a president can nominate a person for the SCOTUS in an election year? Can you do that? I'm guessing you can't. So no, it isn't partisan hackery on Obama's part, just hackery from the spoiled little brats on the right throwing a temper tantrum. Your hypocrisy is also noted.
Oh, did you make the mistake of thinking I was saying it was unconstitutional if Obama presents a nominee ?
He certainly can nominate away, however the GOP has the Senate majority so they are not inclined to rubber stamp Obama's choice.
Scalia was a staunch constitutional conservative and the Senate GOP owes it to him to fight a flaming hack lib that Obama will serve up.
Wait for the next president, the country deserves to have their say whether they want a lib or someone less so nominated.
Fuck Obama, he's yesterday's news.
