Breaking: Justice Scalia has died

[Lakhota]

How did Scalia justify putting George W. Bush in the White House? As I recall - he said "get over it"...

Supreme Court overrides US voters: a ruling that will live in infamy

Scalia on Bush v Gore: ‘Get Over It’

****! Now Obama gets to appoint another one! ****!

No, he gets to NOMINATE one. The Senate is under no obligation to approve that nomination.

thomas's confirmation took a little over 100 days. think they can really leave a supreme court vacancy open for three times that?

Yes, but if Senate Republicans block the nomination for 10 months they will take a lot of heat and that's not too good an idea in an election year when 24 republican seats up for grabs and a loss of 4 seats would send control back to the democrats. I think they will opt to negotiate with Obama, however Obama might not be in a negotiating mood because if republicans block his nomination, then the democrats would have a liberal court for a year. If republicans win with Trump, there is no guarantee Trump would nominate a conservative.

R.I.P. my enemy, Godspeed.

Odd as it might sound, I love the court, I've lost a friend. He was a force of nature, something I have to respect.

 

[DigitalDrifter]

stop the Negro POTUS SCOTUS nominations at all cost...he is too dark..........

But he still gets to.

Isn't that awesome?

I can't wait until the entire SCOTUS is comprised of black people!

Sexist Ginsburg has said she wants to see 9 women on the court.

Jonathan Turley opines that a recess appt by Obama would be the worst mistake of his Presidency. Now THAT is saying something....

However, what current senator up for re election now is going to vote for any Obama candidate? They'll be eaten alive by the GOP base, thereby ensuring the Democrats take over the senate and Obama gets his nominee on the court. I think McConnell will have no choice but to protect those seats.

I don't expect Obama to get his nominee through, I hope I'm wrong.

 

[Tom Horn]

Hard to believe that big ol bear would ever die....He was the epitome of an American system of enlightened jurists, Constitutional purist, and scholar. The world is a colder place without Antonin Scalia.

 

[SwimExpert]

Just imagine the political fight that is coming.

Politically, a big fight will benefit the Democrats tremendously.

Not necessarily. But, considering the players involved, I think the Democrats are most likely to be able to turn it to their advantage.

It's been usually nine men so, who's the sexist?

The Senate won't recess this year....the Kenyan can't be trusted to act with dignity since he never has.

 

[candycorn]

I kept hearing it was a given the Dems would retain the Senate in 2014

how's president romney doing?

he he he

Who controls the Senate? he he he he. Dumbasses

Ask us again on a Wednesday in November....Dumbass.

GFY Candy Corny...how's that?

Your surrender is noted; but not surprising.

 

[pwjohn]

****! Now Obama gets to appoint another one! ****!

Not so fast. The Republican Senate isn't going to approve of anyone he selects. The new justice will be selected by Hillary/Cruz/Trump/Rubio/Sanders.

Nonsense.

• Donald J. Trump Statement on Justice Scalia
  Donald J. Trump ^ | February 13, 2016 | Donald J. Trump
  I would like to offer my sincerest condolences to the Scalia family after the passing of Justice Scalia. Justice Scalia was a remarkable person and a brilliant Supreme Court Justice, one of the best of all time. His career was defined by his reverence for the Constitution and his legacy of protecting Americans' most cherished freedoms. He was a Justice who did not believe in legislating from the bench and he is a person whom I held in the highest regard and will always greatly respect his intelligence and conviction to uphold the Constitution of our country. My thoughts and...
