  • "When there is a vacancy on the Supreme Court, the president is to nominate someone, the Senate is to consider that nomination, and either they disapprove of that nominee or that nominee is elevated to the Supreme Court," Obama said in February 2016, just days after Scalia's death.

    "Historically, this has not been viewed as a question," he continued. "There's no unwritten law that says that it can only be done on off-years. That's not in the constitutional text."

    And I'll quote Cal

    /topic/39872

    Forget him - wait and get a pro-Constitutionalist

    during the next rep president era. Let the people decide

    what kind of Justice replaces Scalia.

    What happened to "let the people decide" Cal?

    It never went anywhere.

    Obamao was a lame duck. with a REPUBLICAN SENATE. Justice Scalia died in 2016.

    So, the people decided to not let obamao lame duck a nominee into the Supreme Court.

    Now, we have a REPUBLICAN PRESIDENT with a REPUBLICAN SENATE.

    Therefore, the people HAVE DECIDED.

    and Pres Trump is NOT A LAME DUCK president.

  • From Washington Examiner:

    Marquette University released the survey results on Saturday that showed 67% of adults believed the Senate should hold a hearing if a vacancy occurred during 2020’s race, with only 32% opposition — and similar strong numbers across Republicans, Democrats, and independents, who supported holding confirmation hearings at 68-31%, 63-37%, and 71-28% respectively. The poll was completed three days before the death of Ginsburg, the 87-year-old liberal icon who was nominated by President Bill Clinton and confirmed in 1993. Ginsburg earned praise from Democrats and Republicans upon news of her death.

    Democrats, media grossly misrepresent the 'McConnell Rule.' Here's why it doesn't apply now.

    Elections have consequences. That's why you people , the Democrats since you are now a Biden guy, forced through Obamacare without waiting for the next election to see if the House and Senate would flip.

    Maybe you complained loudly about that if so I don't remember it.

    The democrats orchestrated a hoax in order to remove a president from office. Where was your head then?

    Sigh

    Sure, I've somehow become a democrat these last four years and I guess you've become an idiot. If Trump has one of those two effects on people I'll take mine. 

    But you'll just continue living in your own fantasy land so what's the point? Too many posters here just choose to ignore reality.

    Imagine accurately calling out a republican presidential candidate as a con man during the primaries, and then, because you have no spine or value system, completely and irrationally slobbering over him for four years....

    Imagine calling out that con then being it's biggest sucker

    How sad

    Sorry Woodrow. You staked your claim; told us you're voting for Joe Biden.

    But, to coin a phrase, that's typical Woody. Bitching when you were called a liberal even though you said you were a Bernie Sanders supporter (the most liberal candidate in decades.)

    If the shoe fits just man up and wear it.
