Breaking: Justice Scalia has died

they are not in recess

Yes, they are: U.S. Senate: Calendars and Schedules

no your are incorrect

they adjourn not in recess

Get something right, for once Why the Senate Should Reconvene Immediately to Stop Obama

I think Obama's best shot maybe to pick a nominee so universally admired that it would be embarrassing for the Senate not to consider the nomination. If Obama chose to fill the seat while the Senate was in recess, it would be only a temporary appointment and would increase hostilities between Congress and the president even more if possible.

However, if the court announced that they would be reducing the number cases they will hear due the vacancy, then that would lend justification to Obama making a temporary appointment and would put more pressure on the Senate to allow a vote on an Obama nominee.

Good luck finding anyone who agrees with Obama's agenda AND engenders respect from anyone but the bare core of the Democrat Party. I dare you.

"Universally admired", my chubby white butt.

Wouldn't surprise me one bit if this stunt costs Republicans the Senate. Many people will be pissed if the Senate shirks its responsibility to advise and consent the president's nominees.

They will be far more pissed if the Senate allows Obama to install another political hack like Kagan and that Beaner, both of which have absolutely no business being on the Court.

Wake up, honey. America is fed up with Obama's partisan leftist bullshit.

And since when do repubs have the right to have an edge in the SC forever?

As long as they can....you don't think the dems would do the exact same thing? LMAO

maybe but the question is what's good for america ?,,,,can there be no compromise ahead in our lifetimes ...must hate and anger permeate{sp} our elections? will we be divided forever??

Do you mean the hate and anger fostered by Obama's divisiveness, lies, and intentional fumbling of American interests?

That is EXACTLY what we need to get rid of, and it requires that we let no more Obama appointees get confirmed.

All the hate and anger began with Mitch McConnel stating that Republcians only job was to make certain Obama was only a one term president. When it has come to Obama's nominations for judges, the obstructionist agenda of Republicans has been unprecedented. Now it is time for the Dems to take back the Senate and keep the White House so we can make certain that the rubes to not get a chance to send the SCOTUS back to the dark ages.

Our Republic is in severe jeopardy today because of Justice Scalia's death yesterday. And no autopsy makes it worse.
I believe Obama will appoint Scalia's successor, and that McConnell and the Senate will confirm anyone Obama wants, including the odious Eric Holder.

Imagine a 5-4 Supreme Court decision interpreting the 2nd Amendment to ban the mere possession of handguns. It could happen. MILLIONS of us would not comply, of course. Any attempt to force us would lead to mass death.

But this one event, Scalia's death, could be the inflection point of the downfall of the American Republic, and quite possibly the traceable initiation of the 2nd American Civil War.

No Autopsy? Here we go again! Before you know it; the Republicans will say that Justice Scalia was smothered by a pillow- after he was poisoned by a Democratic assassin. Conspiracy! The truth is: Mitch is still p***ed off because Harry Reid slept with his 1st wife! All of this rancor will allow the President to continue using his "Executive Power." Apparently the Republicans want Donald Trump to replace Justice Scalia (joking). The real truth is that there is a conspiracy growing to thwart the Republican Primaries by making Paul Ryan the Republican Nominee. This is not a joke! As of February 1st, the Las Vegas odds-makers added Ryan as a possible Republican contender. the odds are now 15,000 to 1- I just put $100 on his nose! If he becomes the nominee; I look to make $1.5 million dollars. Better than playing the Lottery! If you don't believe me; check it out, yourself.

Don't be a bigger dumbshit than nature absolutely requires, okay?

Scalia died of a heart attack. No autopsy or desecration of the body required. Drop it, moron.

Apparently no one has noticed this about recess appointments.... To remain in effect, a recess appointment must be approved by the Senate by the end of the next session of Congress....TA DA!!!

Article Two of the United States Constitution places the power of appointing Justices with the President of the United States, stating:

"he shall nominate, and by and with the Advice and Consent of the Senate, shall appoint ... Judges of the supreme Court, and all other Officers of the United States, whose Appointments are not herein otherwise provided for, and which shall be established by Law..."​

More: Appointment and confirmation to the Supreme Court of the United States - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

President Obama will be the president for the next 10 months - and the Constitution gives him the power to nominate Supreme Court justices. Will rabid Conservatives try to deny him of that right?

Your damned skippy.

He can nominate away...getting a confirmation will be dicey

I am personally praying my hardest that the GOP grows a pair quickly.

I wouldn't hold my breath

Well, no.

This is interesting. Independent Journal Review did a quick poll asking Republicans which candidate they most trust to appoint the next Supreme Court Justice.

The results:

Ted Cruz - 30.4%
Donald Trump - 25%
Marco Rubio - 19.1%
John Kasich - 9.7%
Jeb Bush - 7.9%
Ben Carson - 7.9%

How much effect do you all think this will have on the primary and the election?

Republicans Name the Presidential Candidate They Trust Most to Replace Justice Antonin Scalia

The Republican Senate better deny every last Obama nominee.

Damn straight. Nothing like galvanizing Democrats to not only win the White House but to also take back the Senate. I'm getting my checkbook out for every close Senate race.

Wouldn't surprise me one bit if this stunt costs Republicans the Senate. Many people will be pissed if the Senate shirks its responsibility to advise and consent the president's nominees.

I guess the historic bitch slapping voters put on Democrats hasn't sunk in yet, the people are fed up with the left and rejected them in an historic blow out election.

You completely fail to understand the dynamics of the electorate, which seats were up for reelection, and how that affected the outcome. BTW, there was no historic bitch slapping. Despite losing many seats, Democratic candidates received 98.7 million votes to Republicans 94.1 million votes. It's way too early to even begin to try and guess which way things will go, but it is conceivable that Dems will win the White House, take back the Senate, and win back a substantial number of Congressional seats.

 

[auditor0007]

It's pronounced " now we have a real reason to rally Democrats throughout the country to take back the Senate as well as the White House." You clowns are fucked.

You clowns think your patriotic? You try to wrap yourself with the flag and your guns and think that makes you something special. For the most part it just makes you stupid.

I agree with one thing you say: it is way too early to be making any predictions on the upcoming general elections.

Fuck, you assholes can't decide whether you want a lying, corrupt, murderous OLD white bitch or a AGED, old WHITE, Communist/Socialist as your presidential candidate, and YOU think the rest of the country is as dumb as you and will vote the DemoRAT/Socialist/Communist party back into power especially with OVER $18 TRILLION in debt put on our backs by a mulatto, Kenyan, Marxist?

Well, THAT was a pretty stupid thing you just said. I am talking about the "obstructionist" Republicans in the Senate, and House for that matter, who were chosen by voters and who are now effecting the will of the people to oppose the radical leftist policy initiatives of Obama, Reid and Pelosi.

You may harbor the same moronic, anti-American views held by Obama. However, even if you do hold these views it is the height of ignorance to just sit there and pretend that half of the nation does not disagree with you and that their views are not perfectly valid and reasonable.

Infamous scene of Samuel L Jackson
The path of the righteous man is beset on all sides by the iniquities of the selfish and the tyranny of evil men. Blessed is he, who in the name of charity and good will, shepherds the weak through the valley of darkness, for he is truly his brother's keeper and the finder of lost children. And I will strike down upon thee with great vengeance and furious anger those who would attempt to poison and destroy my brothers. And you will know my name is the Lord when I lay my vengeance upon thee.
