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.

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.

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.

NOPE. It was turning into a joke with people divining what people really wanted with dimpled and hanging chads. The Dems wanted to do what they always do and massage the numbers, even so far as to disenfranchise the military overseas!


Bush v. Gore | law case
On December 8, in a 4–3 decision, the Florida Supreme Court ruled that manual recounts should continue in all counties where a statistically significant number of undervotes were observed for the office of president.

The Bush campaign immediately filed suit, and the U.S. Supreme Court issued a writ of certiorari to take up the case the following day. On December 9, in a 5–4 decision, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled in the case of Bush v. Gore that the manual recounts must halt, and it agreed to hear oral arguments from both parties. On December 11, the two sides presented their cases, Bush’s team asserting that the Florida Supreme Court had exceeded its authority by authorizing the recount of undervotes and Gore’s team stating that the case, having already been decided at the state level, was not a matter for consideration at the federal level. The following day, in a 7–2 ruling, the U.S. Supreme Court overturned the Florida decision, holding that the various methods and standards of the recount process violated the equal protection clause of the U.S. Constitution. The court ruled 5–4 on the remedy of the matter, with the majority holding that the Florida Supreme Court’s decision had created new election law—a right reserved for the state legislature—and that no recount could be held in time to satisfy a federal deadline for the selection of state electors.

What will be the makeup of the person nominated to the Supreme Court?

far left as far left as one can be without falling off the earth

Nahhhhhh....this one will not be far left, he knows he needs someone not politically motivated...So you guys can look like partisan asses when you stomp your feet and don't advise and consent as you are constitutionally required to do.

And when the nominee is someone that is a neutral, constitutionalist, and the Senate refuses to consent, the Senate will turn so Blue in the next election, the sky will be envious!!!!

 

[JimBowie1958]

... the president has the constitutional duty to appoint a replacement....the Senate merely to advise and consent.

The advise and consent part is as important as the President making the appointment. Senate approval is necessary and not some minor role.

But dont worry about it; McConnell will cave on cue and play fight with Obama on this like he has everything else.

Which is why Trump is like 40% in the current polls way ahead of all the other GOP candidates; rank and file Republicans are sick to death of the GOP establishment being more concerned about pleasing Democrats instead of doing what they say they will do.

Joe Biden, Supreme Court Justice

The confirmation of one SCOTUS nominee will reverse 7 years of Obama fuck ups?

I dont think so.

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....

No, the people of Florida CHOSE GORE ....overwhelmingly. Over 10000 votes on the butterfly ballot in Palm beach county voted for Al Gore, not Pat Bucanan.

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.

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.

I have two graduate four year degrees. One in Education the other in Arts.
I speak my mind. I don't suffer fools lightly. There happen to be many LIB fools on this site. They are generally poorly informed or plain ignorant.
Some of the childish nonsense they post is funny.
But then some were old enough to vote for the First 'AA' President. Look where that got the country?

obama will go for broke and,nominate eric holder.

I never thought this preezy would go so far as to assassinate a Supreme Court justice.

I wondered how long it would take for one of you to float this rumor, and which of you it would be.

Not long at all and, Wow, look who it is!
