Who will be nominated to replace Scalia?

[dannyboys]

The situation couldn't be worse for Republicans in an election year. If they block Obama's nominee, they piss off half the country. If they let it go through, they piss off the other half. In a year of dodgy Republican candidates, that could be the death knell.

To be frank I don't think "half the country" who are LIBs actually follow the SC. Maybe a quarter of LIB voters are vaguely aware the SC exists and that's only because they've heard the words Supreme Court in some obscure news headline on MSNBC. I think the REPs now have an even greater motivation to elect a REP as President. I bet anyone could go onto any LIB college campus today and ask a thousand students who was the judge who just died and which way did the judge lean politically. No more than twenty of these fucking LIB dummies could answer correctly.

What makes you think the "other half" follows it any more closely? I think you're living in an echo chamber and don't realize that Dems would be just as motivated to make sure the ruling they favor aren't rolled back.

One way or the other it will be the number of LIBs who actually turn out to vote that will influence who the next SCJ will be. That's obvious right?
As it stands now the Grand Canyon divide between the Sander's LIB and Hillary LIBs is a very serious problem for the DNC.
Mark my words. If Hillary slithers away from the FBI yet again and she basically steals the nomination from under Sander's nose the vast majority of Sanders supporters are NEVER going to then vote for Hillary. Not a fucking chance in hell. And YOU know it.
The Sanders supporters instead are going to do one of two things: Most will say "FUCK IT THE GAME IS RIGGED!" and use the bus fare to go vote on a blunt and a bag of red liquorice. Some, I'm guessing about 10-15% are going to vote for Trump out of spite mostly. Some may actually be bright enough to understand their odds of ever getting a decent job are much better having Trump in office than a Socialist who wants to take 90% of these dewy eyed, rosy cheeked, recently 'streamed' from the Liberal Indoctrination Centers, parent's hard earned income away to give it to people who will never work at a decent job in their lives.
And forget the delusion that Sanders is going to quit and tell his virulent anti-Hillary supporters to turn around and vote for Hillary. Sanders has way too much personal integrity to do that. Even if he did his supporters would turn on him for selling out.
Remember Hillary can't win the Presidency without the 'youth' vote.
The negro block vote won't be enough.
Meaning the LIB parties chances of having any say in who is the next SCJ is fucked.
The very very best news is President Trump will very likely get to nominate two of three SCJ's in his four year term. How many in eight years?
There really is a GOD looking out for America.

 

[dannyboys]

I suggest people take a look at the pending cases. Delaying this is not going to be in the Republicans interest.

Wow. This is pure genius folks; Lib suggests we let Obama pick replacement so it will help our cases in the Court.

thats because they dont understand how the court is supposed to work VS how it is now working.
If a president was loading the court with all Trump supporting judges, Im betting they would suddenly know exactly how its supposed to work

I understand perfectly how the SC works. I know what is at stake. I also remember Trump being the only Republican candidate to understand and verbally express the definition of "settled law".

But, here is what is what I find that is absolutely hilarious while attempting to slam me. No one on this thread has bothered to put forth the perfect "right wing" judge. You haven't been told whom that might be. Ok?

Sean Hannity?
Works for me.
I can't WAIT to see who President Trump puts before the REP controlled Senate next year.
Talk about a fucking SLAM DUNK!
The reaction from the LIBs will be hilarious.
I can see it now.
Chrissy Matthews: "SEAN HANNITY!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I think I'm having a heart attack!

So, you got nothing. You have nothing because deep down inside..........you don't give a shit.

Are you sober enough to explain why I don't give a shit?

Hopefully a moderate, not too left, not too right....with no political allegiances...you know, what a Justice is suppose to be.

I personally would love to see another female, to come closer to even, in the court....but a male moderate would be fine with me.... Not too young either....I don't want whoever it is on the court for the next half a century....

The next President will have at least 3 Supreme court Justices to replace....

Why does the gender matter to you? And more importantly, someone that waffles in the middle? That isn't what judges are supposed to do, their job is to make decisions based on what the law says. The lawmakers you refer to are the ones that write the laws, not judges.

The average lifespan when the Constitution was written was around 55. Now a guy that dies at 79 died too young. That's something lawmakers need to address as well as the function of the SCOTUS, it's become more of a political wing than a court.

Yes, a moderate, not politically leaning left, not politically leaning right, but someone who makes decisions based in the Constitution and the merits of the case.

I would like to see a highly qualified moderate female because I would like to see the court more gender balanced....females are more than 50% of this nation, we process thought differently than males, are more thorough and efficient than males and are more capable of seeing the whole picture, and we need representation...

That being said, I would have no problem with a male moderate justice appointment....

That wold be Kennedy as the moderate. Scalia said he wanted someone like himself to replace him. Obama should honor that wish.

Obama should appoint someone like Scalia to replace Scalia because that`s what Scalia wanted? It doesn`t work that way genius. People with measurable IQs learned that in Jr. High.

Bull crud, he emotionally elected Bush as President, instead of letting the rules in place of that state`s election process...

No, his wishes mean nothing, the president has the constitutional duty to appoint a replacement....the Senate merely to advise and consent.

You're uneducated. You are more interested in trolling than being able to converse intelligently. The trolling is a cover for a deep seated insecurity and it's easier for you to play partisan politics so that you don't have to utilize any critical thinking skills. This way you can wait until someone tells you what to think and you buy time and make yourself feel better by attempting to slam someone else. Incidentally, this is why I had you on ignore before.

Wrong. Florida, like every state, had voting laws. The Democratic party wanted to extend the count, the recount and the recount until the numbers came up right. They should have just found more dead people to vote.

NOPE NOT WRONG on this....the State had rules and regs on how to handle their election process they had 30 days before their electors had to be Counted for the National election and the State and congress had rules on how to handle the situation if electors from a State were not appointed in time. The SC nullified ALL OF THE RULES.....

IT WAS UNCONSTITUTIONAL, what the SC did.

Worst decision a SC ever made in its history.

So how are the tens of thousands of budding Socialist making out in the job market? There must be someone who wants to pay a graduate from a LIBERAL INDOCTRINATION CENTER 100K a year to explain the difference between seventh century and eight century medieval footwear right?
And all it cost the graduate was 80K in tuition expenses.
WHAT A MINUTE! I do know where that job is waiting! AT a fucking LIBERAL INDOCTRINATION CENTER!
Or maybe serving fucking burnt coffee to stupid people has turned out to be a better path to financial security. right.

 

[JimBowie1958]

Whoever it is, it won't be good.

Might as well not have a southern border now if Obama is successful getting a replacement soon.

Let's start praying the GOP controlled Senate can keep the nomination bottled up as long as possible.

But can you name one battle the Senate has fought with Obama and won? They will cave on this as well because they are too gutless to use their Constitutional power to increase their influence.

McConnell needs to take a symbolic resolution to affirm that they GOP will impeach any nominee that Obama manages to finangle into the Supreme Court for the rest of his administration. They need to do a symbolic resolution to affirm that the Senate will not go into recess until the next President is sworn in. These votes would demonstrate to Obama that the Senate is fully resolved to prevent him from getting approval on any candidate that he puts forward, and not even give it fair consideration.

Will McConnell cave anyway and pretend he has no other option than to put the Presidents nominee forward for a Senate vote?


Does a bear shit in the woods?

I have a graduate degree and I'm doing pretty well. While I agree we have a lot of problems with our education system in this country, I have often found that people who rant about it in the way you do tend to not be very educated themselves. In fact, the way you engage others pretty much speaks for that.
