    If McConnell holds his ground and does what he says he will do he will redeem himself a little bit.

    lol... here's one for you.

    If you delay...

    ... and the Dems hold the White House and take back the Senate (both more than possible)...

    Obama could be the next SCOTUS nominee...

    Sleep well.... 🙂

    If the dems take the White House and Senate and we have a continuation of the last 8 years of Obama we will probably have reached the point of no return anyway and I don't think the Supreme Court is going to matter all that much (even with Obama).

    A bit, but the socialist intel services in russian DID do it. And, one avowed socialist

    is running for pres. And higgardly is surely every bit as corrupt as the kgb.

    Hence, the sarcastic connection. Sorry, it was just right there.

    Obamao and co are socialists, and getting rid of political opposition

    is what socialists do in russia....

    Can we impeach a Supreme Court justice? I hope?

    We should if she lied to get on the Court for OBamao.
    I hope there's a lot of security for the conservative justices on the Court -
    I wouldn't put it past Obamao's regime to try to get him another appt
    before he loses the presidency in 2012.

  • so the fat fuck died of a heart attack, what a surprise. So healthy looking, with that personality....like it wasn't bound to happen.

  • Two questions.

    Has there ever been a time when there was a liberal majority on the SCOTUS?

    What's the likelihood of the Senate delaying the appointment for 342 days?

    The longest it's taken to appoint someone is 125 days, but only a few presidents have appointed in their final year.

  • It's an unbelievable shame that today's elected officials put their political parties ahead of the 300 -some million folks in this country. Yeah, that's what Ben Franklin, George Washington, & company envisioned back at the Constitutional Congress' back in the 1770s.

    Nominate some folks and get on with the process of appointing a new justice.

  • It's stupid to think that the rep controlled Congress should give a

    cowardly "ok" to another liberal asshole judge on the Supreme Court.

    That's really stupid. Say, how about demanding that Obamao put HIS

    political aspirations away, and nominate a conservative originalist

    just like Scalia to the court, putting aside a giant, longterm battle,

    appropriately representing the will of most Americans, and getting

    a quick ok on that nominee?

    Any lib think Obamao will do that? Any conservative think Obamao the Assholeness would think about it?

    I don't see it. Of course he will nominate left of center judges, and play dirty destructive politics right to the end.

    and libs will rail against... Congress.

    Did the founding fathers envision that ^ though?

  • Do you think the Founding Fathers put the 2nd Amendment into our

    Constitution so a liberal marxist could change the Supreme Court

    into his own tool, and delete it right back out ?

    Keeping in mind, that amendments are ADDITIONS to the Constitution,

    and never are political weapon deletions.

    Will you ever answer a question?

    Do...you....think....Obamao.....should nominate..... a nominee with

    very similar qualifications as an originalist, so as to help the country

    move on and not hinder the Court?

    Or, do you think that Congress has to approve of the most far left,

    anti-2nd Amendment, pro-all abortion, political tool nominee?

    I think libs & conservatives will rail against Congress anyhow. The hearings on the nominations of Bork, Clarence Thomas for instance made most people pissed off if I recall.

    My point wasn't really to argue. I'm just trying to highlight how this whole political system is getting out of hand. Maybe it always was out of hand, and I/we see it more now in the age of instant info and expanded news coverage.

    Yes, he should. He or any president should nominate a person worthy of the position.

    Or, do you think that Congress has to approve of the most far left,

    anti-2nd Amendment, pro-all abortion, political tool nominee?

    No. Nominate someone towards the center. Someone who may lean right or left depending on the issue(s). I think that's how most Americans are.

  • it isn't the system out of hand - it's the political climate because of individuals with no principles

    nor honor.

    I include all dems in that, and I also include reps like trump, and now, cruz, and christie,

    and pat leahy, mitch mcconnel on a cowardly day, and all sorts of others...

    Lindsey Graham... etc.

    They are afraid of the vicious left, and the left sees the last chance they have of permanently

    getting the upper hand.

    It used to be "Ask not what your country can do for you, ask what you can do for your country"...

    now it's, "make the country give us a free ride, and we don't care if the entire middle class falls into

    poverty"

    bad moon rising. And that moon has corrupt dem president all over it.

  • Oh, sorry, Bob, I was referring to woodpecker who started smarting off about me again,

    because he is buttmolded to cleve, referring to the 'will you ever answer a question".....

    The trouble with someone "center"... is that Ginsburg, Kagan, etc... will always

    vote politically left, disregarding our Constitution.

    Roberts is "center", but he made a vote based on his gay sister, not our Constitution, as I see it.

    If Obamao will nominate a nominee that will decide BY WHAT IS IN the CONSTITUTION, regardless

    of personal choice or politics, we will all be seeing a happier time with decisions by the Court.

    Just follow our Constitution. That's all.

    For example, Ginsburg and co. seem to "believe"...that the Founding Fathers put our 2nd Amendment in there,

    to assure that the British troops were allowed to keep their weapons with them all the time. But they

    manufacture how they vote, out of leftwing politics. I don't remember about Ginsburg, but Kagan seems to

    have lied out her wazoo to get on the Court.

    And the left tried to lie about Justice Thomas to keep him off it. Whatever the left wants... the ends justify the means.

    There is too much riding on this choice, and the idea that ObaMao will nominate a conservative, originalist judge..

    surely has to make anybody choke.

  • Of course the republicans should roll over and let Obama have his way...just give in to the democrat hypocrites like Chucky Schumer who vowed to not let Bush supreme court nominations be confirmed in the senate 19 months out from the presidential election.

    Sen. Chuck Schumer said in July 2007 that that no George W. Bush nominee to the Supreme Court should be approved, except in extraordinary circumstances, 19 months before a new president was set to be inaugurated.

    On Sunday, Schumer ripped Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell as an "obstructionist" for vowing to block any Obama nominee to replace Scalia on the high court from receiving a Senate confirmation vote.

  • It's ok Cal, no apology needed.

    This political stuff is making us all angry. Maybe that's why these so-called "political outsiders" are atop or close to the top of the presidential polls now.

    Combine that with a bunch of 3-13, 4-12 seasons from our Browns, damn it's depressing.
