Well if the crooked old who wins I figure bite the bullet on Merrick Garland before January. He's not perfect but I never thought he was all that bad considering...

And why is this happening, because this country and the populace has been filled with people who don't give a shit about politics and how our government runs. They don't understand how the branches of the government is too work and where the power belongs. Political and government ignorance abounds two-fold throughout this country. I remember my daughter taking American Government and she would ask questions, and then I would show her how Washington is usurping their power based on what she is being taught. And the teachers don't seem to challenging anything going on in current politics verses what they are teaching.
I remember taking government and we would always parallel what was being taught with what was happening. It helped make sense.
Our problem is not enough people care or care enough to want to know. When I tell people that Washington and SCOTUS are making decisions that should be left up to the state and the people to vote, they almost always have nothing to say in disagreement because they either didn't know that or completely forgot how our system is to work.

Under that circumstance plus a Dem majority in the Senate, don't you see his nomination being withdrawn? Like on Nov 9th?

Depending upon the decisions you chose as your examples, it could be that those "people" are just being nice.

Snake?
I think he might leave it for HRC just as a "be careful what you wish for" lesson to the Pubs. The outgoing President just might want to serve as a Justice.

Having the dems nominate Obama for SCOTUS, even (and especially!) if they withdraw it a day later, just to troll the republicans, would absolutely be the funniest thing ever.

Of course that could be part of his legacy, the least qualified Justice nomination since Harriet Miers.

BTW yes, snake.

I don't think Obama loves the Clintons, I think he just forced into licking her ass because of the party.

Far more practical... Trump would undo much, if not all, of what Obama has accomplished; HRC will not. While you may see that undoing as a good thing, you should be able to appreciate that our current President would not be too crazy about that.
And FWIW... as you may recall I have always believed Trump's sole interest in running was out of spite for the beating Obama handed him at the White House correspondents dinner.
-
oh, that's just crazy. I can't take you serously anymore.

Accomplished? Are you talking about the klusterfuk we call Obamacare and she now calls Hillarycare? Or perhaps greasing the skids for Iran to go nuclear? How about pushing race relations further into the swamp than they've ever been?More of a Mussolini guy yourself?

Speaking of constitutional crises, if a candidate being under investigation when elected is one, what if a candidate is on trial on multiple cases?

Beat you to it...
So, I'm wrong, and they don't respond because they are nice? Where the constitution is silent, the states decide. That's the law of the land and how it should be.
Raised it as a possibility. A possibility plausibly confirmed by your, "So, I'm wrong," opening which says you may not present yourself as being open to other views.
And no need to quote the constitution to me... or more precisely the Bill of Rights' Tenth Amendment.
The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people.
When you say, "this or that decision should be left to the states because of the Tenth", you are stating your opinion. Nothing wrong with that, but it is possible you are mistaking your audience's silence with agreement.

Sure... which way did you come in? On a serious note I predicted your disagreement, didn't I.
Obamacare:
For starters start collecting the penalties and plow them into expanded subsidies for those caught in the huge rate jumps. Take the best of the "replace" program... whatever that is... and modify Obamacare... AKA fix it.
The "fix it" argument is mocked by the right, but every major Federal program has in fact been modified over time. Social Security added a Disability Trust. Medicare Part D's "doughnut hole" was closed by Obamacare. Welfare, food stamps, on and on...
Iran Nukes:
The only path it is currently on is one to a peaceful program... a right of every sovereign country BTW... under the watchful eye of the IAEA.
Contrast this with the failed history of constraining North Korea's program.
Race Relations:
I am unaware of any statistical evidence to support your "deeper into the swamp" claim, but if it exists, then you are backing the wrong candidate to reverse that trend.
