Harry Reid To Republicans: You Better Not Block Us From Replacing Scalia

“There is no doubt Justice Antonin Scalia was a brilliant man. We had our differences and I disagreed with many of his opinions, but he was a dedicated jurist and public servant. I offer my condolences to his family."

“The President can and should send the Senate a nominee right away. With so many important issues pending before the Supreme Court, the Senate has a responsibility to fill vacancies as soon as possible. It would be unprecedented in recent history for the Supreme Court to go a year with a vacant seat. Failing to fill this vacancy would be a shameful abdication of one of the Senate's most essential Constitutional responsibilities.”

Sen Reid is a true Statesman.

What a lowlife S.O.B. He can't even wait until the man's body is cold. I hope when Reid passes the Republicans line up to piss on his grave. Totally uncouth and uncalled for. What a louse.

[Admiral Rockwell Tory]

Its common knowledge that Presidents have a short list at the ready for just such an occurrence

Fill the vacancy.

I think Obama should nominate Hillary.

 

[Dot Com]

As has been stated there are a number of potential nominees who have already been voted out of the senate recently.

 

[deltex1]

I was going to say something...but it's already been said. GFY, Harry!

 

[the_human_being]

Fill the vacancy.

I think Obama should nominate Hillary.

I think he should show confidence in one or the other of his Party's candidates to win the election and allow him/her to make the appointment but I expect him to attempt to make and get away with another recess appointment.

 

[HenryBHough]

Reid MUST be an Alzheimer's victim!

How else could he have forgotten the delay and block tactics he taught us so well?

of course you do.

Sen Reid is a true Statesman.

Reid is one of the worst partisans in the Senate and you only approve because you are as much a partisan hack as he is. In the next few weeks or months he will behave just as the Republicans will over this issue.

Let him do a recess appointment in December and the new justice will never hear a case because recess appointments expire when a Congress adjourns at the end of the term.

 

[Dont Taz Me Bro]

Stop with the drive by flames

 

[Disgruntled_American]

Its common knowledge that Presidents have a short list at the ready for just such an occurrence

Fill the vacancy.

Fill the Conservative Italian American seat with another Conservative Italian American - agreed

So then should a GOP become president will you support the same of when a liberal SCOTUS member dies to have them replaced by another liberal?

Personally I pray we will exhibit enough class to keep our mouths shut until the family has a little time to grieve. I don't think that is asking too much of anyone.

ATTENTION!! BREAKING NEWS!! The White House Press Corps has revealed that President Obama is expected to have some remarks concerning the passing of Justice Scalia just as soon as he completes three more rounds of golf.

 

[Katzndogz]

Reid is retiring there isn't much he can do. obama can have another Justice killed.

 

[ZackB]

Any patriot in the Senate will see it as his or her duty to block and Obama nominee to the Supreme Court. Under the circumstances it is their duty.

By Statesman you mean complete moron.

Reid was perfectly fine in blocking every action the Republican Party attempted when he ran the Senate. He forfeited the right to complain about anyone else blocking anything.

 

[Dot Com]

POTUS & Reid need to consult early Monday to get the ball rolling.
