Cruz has already stated when asked the question he will stall on ANYONE the president nominates.
That is in fact saying "I was elected to follow the Constitution and do my job but I've decided the Constitution is just wrong and I'm going to do what I want".
Cons you are going to have to get used to a liberally slanted Supreme Court now. Just as everyone had to get used to the con slanted court for so long.
Sorry you don't get to ignore or change the Constitution when it doesn't suit you. If you can then get enough states to convene a convention and add an amendment that says the Republican party gets to pick people that only fit their political ideology to sit on the Supreme Court.
Otherwise stop yer bitchin and suck it up like the Democrats have had to do for decades.
When will conservative ever just follow the wording and intention of the Constitution as set out by the founders rather than trying to cheat and ignore the Constitution? Join us in democracy conservatives, you may like it if you gave it a try for once.
The US isn't a democracy. You also don't see a whole lot of conservative justices trying to change the constitution or create law from the bench.
You do see it a lot from liberal activist judges though.

The Republicans are about to once again over-reach in their never-ending-we-don't -compromise-on-anything-for-any-reason strategy they have employed the last 7 years.
They've already announced they plan to block WHOEVER the president nominates to the Supreme Court. Some of them saying "we should let the people decide in an election". Problem is the people already decided, in the 2012 election they elected Barack Obama who is charged by the Constitution to nominate a new Supreme Court justice when a vacancy comes open, which he is going to do. Republicans though, still in "we won't call it racism but Obama won't get anything passed ever at any time" mode, seem to think they run the government themselves, that there was no election in 2012. Sorry, there was. The people's voice HAS been heard and this president was given powers by the people to choose the next Supreme Court justice.
Elizabeth Warren unloads on Republicans for saying they'll block Obama's attempt to replace Scalia
Actually the president was never given the power to choose Supreme Court Justices. They can choose nominees.
Congress chooses who gets the job.
Thank you captain obvious, when the sun comes out is it day or night? Oh please enlighten us.
Liberals are impressively stupid. Have to dumb things down a lot to make sure they get it.
So now you pull out the race card...
Thank you for demonstrating just how desperate the Democrats have become!!!!
Nah, conservatives pulled it out the day after the election in 2008. And you whining about 'race card' doesn't cover your racism. Sorry.

Research the 'forms' of democracy, or the 'subsets' of democracy and learn something. I'm betting you won't because you won't be able to use that line when arguing with Cliven any more.

The popular vote int he US does not determine the President, and never has. The electoral college pick the President. Whiel most of our important federal offices are elected, many are not, like the SCOTUS judges.

So your confusion is with the words 'hinder' and 'deny'.
The Republicans are saying the are going to deny any appointment Obama wants to make.
See how your lying and misdirection doesn't really work. Maybe try the conspiracy forum.

The US isn't a pure democracy, but we still elect our representatives through a democratic process. Our representatives are constrained by the Constitution, which means the U.S. is a constitutional republic. The rest of your post is a leaky bucket. Give an examples where "liberal activist judges" allegedly tried to change the constitution or create law from the bench.

Obamacare is a classic example. The Court ruled that the government has the right to require purchase of commercial products of it's citizens. Regulating commerce is a very different thing indeed from requiring commerce.
And....the law passed by congress very specifically did not say TAX. It said FINE. The court changed the wording of the law.

Liberals are impressively stupid. Have to dumb things down a lot to make sure they get it.
Liberals, as a class of people, are probably more intelligent and better educated than those who identify themselves as conservatives. Liberals actually believe in freedom--liberty and justice for all. Whereas conservatives believe in "freedom for me, but not for you." That's the ugly part of conservatism that truly constitutes an embarrassment for this country.
With all respect, Debra...the majority has been voting to take away rights from minorities in this country for a very long time. The Supreme Court was designed to stop egregious violations of that from taking place by having the power to declare actions by the Executive Branch or the Legislative Branch "unconstitutional" but that only works when the Supreme Court isn't stuffed with political ideologues!The Us is a REPUBLIC, not a democracy. Germany is a democracy as is France and Italy.Cruz has already stated when asked the question he will stall on ANYONE the president nominates.

It's a representative republic. There's a reason when asked what form of government had been created Franklin replied "A republic, if you can keep it".
There's a reason the person who gets the most votes isn't necessarily president, and why the Senate is a secondary backstop to prevent mob rule.
Limited versus unlimited. Very different things indeed.
