Nothing has been shown to indicate a "tradition" or that any process has been used other than the one in the Constitution. The key component has always been the date of time the Justice passes away or resigns. There have never been any "Traditions" that were needed or were suggested except the one you are making. which of course is pretty much meaningless partisan talking point fodder.

Sure it has, no president that could serve another term has nominated a Justice in the last year of office in the last eighty years. Eighty years is a tradition. Not a soul has rebutted my reason for doing it either.

and this is why you should never listen to lying rightwing politicians.... per usual, rubio (who you got your rightwingnut talking point from) is wrong

"Rubio’s statement prompted several comments on Twitter from those who noted a specific exception to his claim: the nomination of Justice Anthony Kennedy.

The Senate confirmed Kennedy 97-0 on Feb. 4, 1988. That was about 28 years ago -- not 80.

Kennedy replaced Justice Lewis Powell, who retired, and was Reagan’s third nomination for the opening, after Robert Bork and Douglas Ginsburg. Powell announced his retirement in June 1987.

Reagan, who was in his second term, nominated Kennedy in November 1987. Kennedy was confirmed in February 1988. In November 1988, Reagan’s vice president George H.W. Bush won the presidency.

"The nomination actually wasn't in the election year, although the confirmation vote was," said Harvard law professor Mark Tushnet."

Rubio exaggerates in saying it's been 80 years since a 'lame duck' made a Supreme Court nomination

thanks for playing. we'll all have to let anthony kennedy know he wasn't really appointed by a second term president.

i love all you pretend constitutionalists . do tell us where a president can't nominate a justice to fill a vacancy in his second term.

dolts.

The seat to be filled became vacant long before the last year of the POTUS' tenure. Kennedy was nominated in Nov. 87, only after the first two nominations went kaput.

So, to clarify, it's been a looooooong time since a POTUS had to make a nomination within the last year of his office.

distinction without a difference. the right has tried to keep this president from doing his job for seven years. he was elected by a majority of the electorate twice. it's time for the obstructionist right to get out of the way.

if this were done to a republican the right would be in meltdown.

I love how these Scalia-like strict constitutionalists now want to ignore the clear constitutional Supreme Court nomination process.

Hypocrites much?

Yes, they are.

just saying

He of the Saturday Night Massacre.


And thank the lord the publicans and dems nixed Bork. That man in years later showed himself to be even more dangerously extreme than anyone could have imagined.

Rabbi thinks 1987 was part of "Reagan's first term."



What a eff up.

 

[paperview]

Said the idiot who thought Reagan nominated Kennedy in his first term and refuses to admit you are wrong.


You're a lying, dishonest, skunk not worthy of any one's time.

 

[Dr Grump]

Your admission of defeat here is acknowledged and accepted.

Acknowledging your predictions are crap is not deflecting...it's stating a fact...

 

[Dr Grump]

Because Obama is no Ronald Reagan.

I agree. Obama, while an average president at best, still walks all over Ronnie "alzheimers" Raygun as a president....

 

[Dr Grump]

He has shitty judgement, and extremist views.

What you call extremist most people call normal. Ever thought that you are the one with extremist views? Obama's judgement is a lot better than Rayguns. Iran-Contra anyone? "We start bombing Russia in five minutes"....yeah, what a guy... Oh, let's cut all the taxes for the rich and make those that can't afford it pay more...

Yet here you are post after post, slowly admitting I was right on this point and that.

Yeah, you shouldn't cause you just made an even bigger fool of yourself.

Bork, denied by Congress, follow up nominee blocked, that caused Kennedy's nomination to go into the last year. All caused by...Democrats. You lose.

follow up nominee withdrew himself. try to be honest

No. I don't think they should vote for someone unqualified. But they should do their job instead of throwing a giant rightwing temper tantrum.
