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

The case, District of Columbia v. Heller, eventually went to the Supreme Court, which ruled the ban unconstitutional. While Garland’s actual decision was only to review the law and not to enforce it outright, the fact that he didn’t just agree to kill the ban may not sit well with conservatives.

Even more concerning for gun lovers is Garland’s 2000 decision in NRA v. Reno. In that case, the National Rifle Association fought against retention of background check information that is collected when people legally purchase guns. The NRA argued that the information was required to be immediately destroyed under the Brady Act. Then-Attorney General Janet Reno’s position was that it was necessary and allowed under the act to retain the data for six months in order to audit the background check system. Garland ruled in Reno’s favor, stating that her interpretation of the Brady Act was reasonable.

Obama Chooses Merrick Garland for Supreme Court......UNACCEPTABLE

Help for ya, no matter who you are, you probably won't like 50% of his decisions. Let's mush on...


BUT

The right of the citizens to keep and bear arms has justly been considered, as the palladium of the liberties of a republic; since it offers a strong moral check against the usurpation and arbitrary power of rulers; and will generally, even if these are successful in the first instance, enable the people to resist and triumph over them.

Maybe that was true once but it sure as shit ain't now. Now they can kill you in Kabul, Afghanistan, while drinking coffee in New Mexico...



ONLY in the fascists' GUN FREE ZONES.

The people we kill with drones love guns, sometimes have tons of them, and they are just as fucking dead eh? Keep that in mind,

Here you don't need a gun, you need a lawyer. We've at least gotten that far...

Doing their job is not crumbling. Give Advice and Consent. That means voting...
So you think 'servitude', doing Obama's and the Liberals' bidding is 'doing their job'?!
:lmao:

'Checks and Balances' does not mean 'do whatever the hell you want to and we'll make every step of the way easier for you'.

But that was FUNNY!

Obama has done his part. Now it's the turn of the Senate. It's in the Constitution. You remember that old thing, right?

It's the Senate's job to vote up or down on a nomination. That's the "consent" part. Why are you so terrified of the Senate performing its Constitutional duty?
 
Obama has done his part. Now it's the turn of the Senate. It's in the Constitution. You remember that old thing, right?
Please point out in the U.S. Constitution where Congress must give Obama what he wants.....

Yeah, end of discussion.
 
Remember when the pseudo-cons bitched and bitched and bitched about Harry Reid spiking legislation and not allowing it to be voted on in the Senate?

Remember that?

Rank hypocrites!
 
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.

They have a Constitutional obligation to fill Supreme Court vacancies

The Constitution says nothing about......when you get a President from your party
 
Sources say it's Merrick Garland, an anti gunnner

WASHINGTON (AP) -- President Barack Obama will nominate federal appeals court judge Merrick Garland to the Supreme Court, congressional sources said Wednesday. The pick sets up a confrontation with Republicans who say they will refuse to consider his nomination in an election year.

Garland, 63, is the chief judge for the United States Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit, a court whose influence over federal policy and national security matters has made it a proving ground for potential Supreme Court justices.

News from The Associated Press
See how easy it would be for the Republicans to do their job and vote against him? They've even got a reason. Why won't they?
 
The case, District of Columbia v. Heller, eventually went to the Supreme Court, which ruled the ban unconstitutional. While Garland’s actual decision was only to review the law and not to enforce it outright, the fact that he didn’t just agree to kill the ban may not sit well with conservatives.

Yes, Really.

Obama Chooses Merrick Garland for Supreme Court

CN chief counsel Carrie Severino said in a blog post that Judge Merrick’s record on the bench since 1997 “leads to the conclusion that he would vote to reverse one of Justice Scalia’s most important opinions, D.C. vs. Heller, which affirmed that the Second Amendment confers an individual right to keep and bear arms.”

If Republicans think he is unacceptable, hold hearings and vote on him

That is what Democrats did
 
easyt65 started a topic about Harry Reid and the Democrats blocking a vote in the Senate:

"Senate Democrats blocked legislation Wednesday aimed at boosting the scrutiny of some incoming refugees, after attempting to turn the debate into a referendum on immigration and Donald Trump's presidential campaign.

That's pretty much all you need to know about Harry Reid and the progressive partisan liberals that have infected this nation's federal government, putting their own petty partisanship above the lives and security of this nation and its citizens. What a POS![
That's pretty much all you need to know about easyt65.

He hates obstructionism...only when it suits him.

Hypocrite.
