Obama Will Appoint USSC Justice As Recess Appointment

[Maryland Patriot]

There is nothing too low for Obama to try, but Supreme Court Justices can be impeached and the Republicans do control both Houses of Congress.

The House could impeach but the trial would be in the senate and a 2/3 vote is needed for conviction and removal of the justice. GOP is nowheres close to 2/3.

It would take 15 Democrats who respected the Constitution. Do you think there are 15 Democrats in the Senate who respect the Constitution?

15 in the Senate? can we make the search a little easier and say, ohhh, 15 in the country?

Except that your title states a know action..Which is not correct..

Not yet...

In advertising, this is called an 'attention getter' - it succeeded. Here you are posting in the thread.

Our pal Moonglow would post on the underside of a moving Mack Truck.

Only Peterbilt is good enough for me..

...robbing Trump / Conservatives of tne Pick...

Obama could still force Merrick Garland onto Supreme Court during ‘intersession recess’

Good.

Because that appointment would last only until Trump appointed his own Justice and got him/her confirmed. Then Garland would not be able to return to the Appeals Court, which means Trump would be able to appoint someone else to that seat.

Go for it Obama.

No, they are appointed for life....

I don't think so as explained earlier in the thread.

from wikipedia:

"A recess appointment is the appointment, by the President of the United States, of a senior federal official while the U.S. Senate is in recess. The United States Constitution requires that the most senior federal officers must be confirmed by the Senate before assuming office, but while the Senate is in recess the President may act alone by making a recess appointment to fill "Vacancies that may happen during the Recess of the Senate." To remain in effect, a recess appointment must be approved by the Senate by the end of the next session of Congress"

I learned not long ago that Owebo is a poster of strong opinions, and even stronger ignorance. I probably would have learned this earlier, but I haven't been posting here long.
