Obama to Announce Supreme Court Nominee at 11 a.m. Today

[SwimExpert]

Garland is a raging liberal? Somebody needs to tell Orrin Hatch:

Hatch is an idiot.

 

[Billy_Kinetta]

The Founding Fathers put the Senate in place to stop the likes of Obama from behaving like a fucking Monarch.
Who was it that crowed: "Elections have consequences"?
Guess our 'Monarch-Lite' forgot that Senators are also elected.

So your saying that Obama doesn't have the right to nominate anybody? Or you are just blowing your racist shit again?

Obama has the 'right' to nominate a fucking dog turd. It's in the Constitution right?
The Senate, according to the Constitution has the 'right' when and if they want to consider Obama's dog turd.
If Obama hadn't been such a fucking asshole from day one the way he habitually bypassed and ignored Congress and the Senate then he may have been able to put his choice on the SC.

your kidding yourself if you think that the republicans would have ever been decent and willing to work with the president. in fact, your main criticism of him is born out of republican intransigence.

You seem to think that there is some requirement for Congress to "work with" a president. They are there to keep him in check. The branches are co-equal in order to handcuff the others when necessary.

 

[Anathema]

You mean that Republican?

We're both well aware of the philosophical changes in the parties over the last 1t50 years. Neither party has anything to hang their hat on morally or Constitutionally over thst time period.

Nomination is going NOWHERE so it's all a moot point

Liberal Presidents pick liberal judges...its the way it works
Don't like it, try to get a conservative elected President

Liberal Presidents screw up the country because there are too many stupid uneducated low information greedy welfare queens that unfortunately have the right to make dumb decisions at the polls.

Obama has been the worst President this country ever had and has already done far too much damage.

By the way, Moon Bat. In 2014 the American people kicked the Democrats out of the Senate and that is the reason Obama's filthy ass nominee will not be confirmed.

Dead in the water, even without current circumstances.

Merrick Garland has ‘very liberal view of gun rights’

Imagine the guy we will get with hillary and a dem congress. Repubs are imploding, bad time to roll the dice.

Nomination is going NOWHERE so it's all a moot point

Not until December 17th, when Obama recess appoints him. This is why it's so important to NOT nominate Trump. Because if we do, Clinton gets to pick an even worse nominee.

 

[hazlnut]

These are not the nominees we are looking for. McConnell can filibuster all he wants. But if Trump gets the nomination, we aren't going to get any better from Clinton.


The short list:

Sri Srinivasan - Liberal

Spoiler

In Sierra Club v. Jewell, 764 F. 3d 1 (2014),[26] Srinivasan authored the majority opinion in the D.C. Circuit's split decision holding that environmental groups seeking to protect the site of the historic Battle of Blair Mountain possessed Article III standing to challenge the removal of the site from the National Register of Historic Places in federal court.[27]

Srinivasan authored the D.C. Circuit's decision in Pom Wonderful v. FTC, 777 F.3d 478 (2015),[28] which upheld FTC regulations that require health-related advertising claims be supported by clinical studies while simultaneously trimming the number of studies required on First Amendment grounds.[29]

In Home Care Association of America v. Weil, 799 F. 3d 1084 (2015),[30] Srinivasan authored the D.C. Circuit's decision reinstating, under Chevron deference, regulations that guarantee overtime and minimum wage protection to home health care workers, citing "dramatic transformation" of the home care industry over the past forty years as reason for the change.[31]

Srinivasan authored the D.C. Circuit's decision in Hodge v. Talkin, 799 F. 3d 1145 (2015),[32] which upheld a federal law prohibiting demonstrations in the United States Supreme Court Building's plaza as justified by the Supreme Court's interest in not giving the appearance of being influenced by public opinion and as consistent with nonpublic forum viewpoint-neutral restrictions, where demonstrations could proceed on nearby public sidewalks.[33]

In Jarkesy v. SEC, 803 F. 3d 9 (2015),[34] Srinivasan authored the D.C. Circuit's decision holding that the securities laws under the Dodd-Frank Act provide an exclusive avenue for judicial review that plaintiffs may not bypass by filing suit in district court.[35]

Srinivasan authored the D.C. Circuit's decision in Simon v. Republic of Hungary, Slip Op. (2016),[36] holding that Article 27 of the Foreign Sovereign Immunities Act merely creates a floor on compensation for Holocaust survivors because the text of the 1947 peace treaty between Hungary and the Allies does not bar claims outside of the treaty and because the Allies "lacked the power to eliminate (or waive) the claims of" Hungary’s own citizens against their government.[37]

Paul Watford - Swing (at best)

Spoiler

In 1994 he served as a law clerk to Judge Alex Kozinski of the Ninth Circuit, and from 1995 to 1996 he clerked for Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg of the Supreme Court of the United States.

On October 17, 2011, President Obama nominated Watford to a seat on the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit.

This guy is in the running just because he's black. That's about it.

Merrick Garland - Raging Liberal

Spoiler

Chief Judge of the United States Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit.

On September 6, 1995, President Bill Clinton nominated Garland to the D.C. Circuit seat vacated by Abner J. Mikva.

Garland told senators during his U.S. Senate Judiciary Committee hearing in 1995 that the U.S. Supreme Court justice for whom he had the greatest admiration was Chief Justice John Marshall, and that he had personal affection for the justice for whom he clerked, Justice William Brennan. "Everybody, I think, who hopes to become a judge would aspire to be able to write as well as Justice Oliver Wendell Holmes," Garland told the committee at that time.

Obama to name Supreme Court nominee - CNNPolitics.com

Garland is considered more conservative on Criminal law issues than Scalia.

I don't know where you are getting your info (the idiot depot)

Garland prosecuted Timmy McVeigh -- is that why you think he's liberal?

You dopes take the Fox talking points and spew them back here.

 

[Dot Com]

Let the games begin....

How long can the do nothing Senate, do nothing?

Repubs- they have raised the act of doing nothing and getting paid for it (fleecing the taxpayers) to an art form

 

[NoTeaPartyPleez]

Garland is a raging liberal? Somebody needs to tell Orrin Hatch:

Hatch is an idiot.

I lived in SLC for many years, the non-Mormons referred to him as Orrin Snatch. He gets reelected every single time. He's been around a very long time and I suspect he knows Merrick Garland's record very well, though.

Imagine the guy we will get with hillary and a dem congress. Repubs are imploding, bad time to roll the dice.

SCOTUS appointments will be the last of the Democrats' worries should that occur.

 

[SeniorChief_Polock]

sounds like someone has trouble with the ladies...

That would be both Hillary and Bill Clinton, dipshit. Neither have what it takes to help women, in fact, both Bill and Hillary are quite destructive of women. Why don't you suck on that for awhile dipshit. Try it vs. your usual dose of morning dick.

lol. which republican nominee is good for women? is it kasich defunding women's health clinics, cruz who voted against the violence against women act, or is it trump and his pageants?

What justification do Republicans have ?

just that we are exorcising our constitutional right to advise and consent

that also means we can choose to not consent.

In an effort to be bipartisan, we should support Crazy Uncle Joe's position on this one, let the people decide!

They will be quick to add a very liberal Justice, you can count on that. Take a moderate now or a liberal later.

yeah, their policies of working against women's rights

 

[DigitalDrifter]

The nominee is a Jew. The court is already over-represented by the Jewish community.
Jews make up less than 2% of the general population, should this nominee be seated the court would be at about 45% Jewish.

why do you think recess appointments exist?
