Obama should play this smart. Nominate a moderate

[CowboyTed]

A-moderates always turn liberal on the court
B-it would make it very hard for reps to oppose them.
C-A moderate replacing Scalia would still radically change the court.
D-A senator would make it very hard for the other senators to reject.

Couldn't agree with you more... There is plenty of Liberals they can go for when they wrap up the Presidency... But the GOP Senate is stumped if highly qualified moderate is elected. Even a slight bit left of center would be OKish too.. Just make sure he./she is highly qualified...

Obama lost control of the senate hence he's screwed sucks to be him.

"On Feb. 3, 1988, McConnell and literally every other GOP senator voted to confirm Supreme Court Justice Anthony Kennedy. This was during President Ronald Reagan's last year in the White House, and at a time when Democrats controlled the Senate. Kennedy was confirmed 97-0, with three Democrats -- Joe Biden, Al Gore and Paul Simon -- not voting at all because, presumably, they were busy running for president that year."
Mitch McConnell Voted To Confirm A Supreme Court Justice In Reagan's Final Year

What part of we hate the left is not clear to you?

What part of do what we fucking pay you for isn't clear to you?

And by not doing their job they are rejecting their Constitutional Duty. How do you think Scalia would have like that?

I sent my representatives to congress to oppose Obama, Scalia would be fine with that.

Not if that meant, as it does in this case, rejecting their constitutional duties.

There's no Constitutional time limit on confirming a SCOTUS justice. Obama can nominate a conservative justice to replace the conservative justice who passed away, or he can suck eggs and the next president will nominate a justice.

and what part of you're deranged is not clear to you?

now tell us again how you care what "we the people" want, loon.

Meh we control the House and the Senate, powers entrusted in us by the people on the promise of opposing Obama. Our representatives are doing exactly what we sent them to Washington to do. Sucks to be your side, I guess you shouldn't have pissed off the people and lost control of congress.

you control the house, despite having received over a million votes less than democrats because of gerrymandering. you temporarily control the senate.

why do you think your senate, which represents states like north dakota, far more per capita than it does populous places like new york, should obstruct a president elected by a majority of the country twice.

you people are nuts.

its not our fault your side was too lazy to turn out and vote now is it. Why did you people throw Obama under the bus?

How about a nice moderate? Oh wait, that wouldn't help you so, no...

Americans are SICK AND TIRED of

REPUBLICAN OBSTRUCTIONISM

 

[Arizona Willie]

Here's a concept... How about nominating someone who follows the constitution of the United States of America.

========
Republicans who claim it would be unprecedented to nominate a replacement Justice during Obama's last year are LIARS

Politics shouldn't be considered when nominating a SC Judge. It should be whether they believe in the COTUS or not.

=============
Apparently Republicans DO NOT.

The COTUS say it is Obama's RIGHT and DUTY to nominate a replacement Justice.

The Founding Fathers did not intend for America to go without a Supreme Court until the Republicans got another chance to put one of theirs in office to do the choosing.

REPUBLICANS DO NOT HAVE A RIGHT TO A PERMANENT REPUBLICAN SUPREME COURT MAJORITY.

If Obama yielded to their DEMANDS what would they do if Bernie or the Ice Queen is elected?

DEMAND WE WAIT FOUR MORE YEARS UNTIL THEY GET ANOTHER CHANCE
fuck Republicans

he can freaking nominate Hitler if he wants. CALL, write, email your Congresscritters and them HELL NO to Obama's picks. he's a LAME ASS duck, we the people don't WANT anymore of what he has to offer up. we are sick and tired of him

Who's this 'we' you're referring to?

About half the Nation.

And when the majority say they want a nominee named, then what will you say? Oh right, no, fuck the Court and the Constitution, we want to pray for a year that we get our way instead.

========

If Obama were to yield to their desire ... what would they do if Bernie or the Ice Queen is elected?

DEMAND we wait four more years until they get another chance?

Or perhaps they would like the change that Constitution they love so much ( until it doesn't fit their agenda ) and give the head of the Republican Party permanent power to choose all Supreme Court Justices?

That concept makes them cum down their leg

But, originally, they set the Supreme Court to have SIX justices.

But they required a 2/3 majority for a decision which meant 4 out of six had to agree.

The Founding Fathers wanted the court to reflect the population and the political situation(s) of the times.

THEY DID NOT INTEND FOR THE REPUBLICAN PARTY OF NO TO HAVE A PERMANENT SUPREME COURT MAJORITY.

But but but but in EVERYTHING else Republicans want the Constitution followed to the letter --- except when it doesn't benefit them --- then they want to wipe their ass with it. Bush even said " it's just a fucking piece of paper " when it prevented him from doing what he wanted ( but he did it anyway ).

 

[TNHarley]

Do not separate text from historical background. If you do, you will have perverted and subverted the Constitution, which can only end in a distorted, bastardized form of illegitimate government.

Funny but you have no objection to the RIGHT WINGER ACTIVIST JUDGES that's why you loved Scalia so much --- he always ruled in your favor.

You really are clueless. It doesn't matter who he picks. The GOP aren't having it. Nothing difficult about sitting on your hands. Period

And you're the authority on what constitutes following the Constitution?

Did I imply I was the authority?
