So, Obama gets to put a third dullard to the Supreme Court?

[Boss]

And if you are faced with the prospect of hiring the village idiot, you wait for a suitable candidate to come along....

Failure to follow that simple rule has consequences, too....

The discussion was about STALLING ...

Obama said he was going to nominate a person to fill the vacant seat on the court.

The senate must take a vote ... to give consent or withhold consent to the nominee ... but, republicans are advocating obstruction, i.e., delay, delay, delay ... withholding any action on the nominee (whoever that nominee may be) until after the new president (whoever that may be) takes the oath of office on January 20, 2017.

If Obama's nominee is "the village idiot", why not just vote him/her down? Why delay?

Well they may very well vote his nominee down. We don't yet know what kind of wacko he is going to nominate. Supreme Court justices have to get a supermajority vote and Congress is majority Republican right now... so how do you figure anything not pretty damn close to a Scalia has ANY chance?

Look... if it had been Ruth Bater Nutbag who croaked, it's a totally different situation... people might kind of be put off by Republicans stalling.. but it's the most conservative Constitutional originalist on the court... that makes it different. Yes... radical left wing idiots like YOU are going to be upset that you don't get to put another of your kind on the court to replace the conservative... tough shit! You'll get over it... or not... don't really care, to be honest.

A supermajority is not necessary ... only 50 votes are required to approve a nominee, unless there is a filibuster ... and I would love to see Cruz, et al., get off the campaign trail and read "green eggs and ham" to their children on national television for months to stall a vote while America grows angrier and angrier with the obstructionists ... consequences, sometimes they're not beneficial ...

Nope, you need to go look it up.. for Supreme Court Justices a supermajority is required. They changed the requirement for appellate court judges but that's a different story altogether.

I tell you what do... send a memo to Hillary and tell her that you want her to press heavy and hard on republicans 'obstructing' an opportunistic liberal appointment to the SCOTUS to replace the constitutional conservative and we'll see how it plays out! Otherwise, all you are doing is blustering your idiotic opinion which doesn't count for diddly-squat.

It takes 60 votes to end a filibuster (i.e., end debate and bring the matter to a vote) in this matter. Cruz has promised to filibuster. Why would Cruz threaten to filibuster if a filibuster wasn't necessary to prevent an up or down vote and block the President's eventual nominee?

Cruz Plans to Filibuster Any Obama Supreme Court Nominee

Edited to remove reference to two-thirds vote, which applies to other matters.

Furthermore, you're assuming the American people want another "conservative" justice like Scalia ... and I believe your assumption is wrong. I believe most people are repulsed by Senator Cruz ... he's very creepy.

Well let's allow the people to make that decision in November. That's the standard, that's the precedent since Eisenhower. Cruz won't need to filibuster, the confirmation committee can take as long as they please and then simply reject the nominee. Should the idiot GOPERs try to suck Obama's cock one last time, I'm sure people like Mike Lee and Jeff Sessions can handle a filibuster without Cruz needing to leave the campaign trail.

Don't care what you think of Ted Cruz... he's not "creepy" to me and millions of other Conservatives and you're not going to pick our candidate... so fuck the hell off, hack! Go figure out how you're going to keep your hag out of prison before the election and leave our candidates the hell alone.

Scalia's death is another wound for America given Obama's subversiveness.

The previous two 'justices' that Obama appointed weren't just liberal hacks, they were flat-out below average intelligence persons. It was his way of spitting on The Constitution. Will he get to appoint a third dullard, or can this be stalled?

The power pendulum is swinging back our way.

I thought Roberts and alito were bad but see now God worked it all out

Back what way? The way that people just make sh** up in the Constitution?

Which Republican do you agree with 100% on their interpretation of the constitution?

Because jebs interpretation is different than cruz'. You do realize that, right?

And what makes you think God had anything to do with a Scalia's death?

 

[TyroneSlothrop]

Fox is reporting that "an increasingly uppity" President Obama shamelessly continues to insist that he is still President in spite of the death of Antonin Scalia ....this is part of his pattern of no concern for the feeling of older white Republican Americans.....

The Left thinks that he was wrong.
Those on right think that he was correct.
It's a point of view

Maybe you should do some research on the harmful effects that Social Democracy has done both here and in Europe.

except his view wasn't reflective of any of the caselaw that came before him THAT is one of the first rules of our common law system. so it was more than not agreeing with him. he was outright wrong based on all rules of constitutional construction that came before him.

maybe you should do some research into our body of constitutional caselaw and not worry about me.

Kagan got the appointment because she called Obama and asked to speak to her "favorite Kenyan born Harvard Law School graduate"

Andrew Jackson nominated several justices. Know what we get when Democrats nominate justices?

Dred Scott.

Korematsu

His view was to rule by the Constitution without any views for or against anything.

All she does is disparage those that disagree with her narrow left wing nut point of view. She adds nothing else. Just uninformed, uneducated and bigoted insults.
