Do we still need a SCOTUS?

[nat4900]

Apparently, based on what pissed off conservative lawmakers in the Senate, we don't need a Supreme Court any longer. Many of them have vowed that ANY nominee by the soon to be president, Clinton, will NOT be entertained for confirmation.....keeping the present SCOTUS in a virtual 4 to 4 tie.

Of course, we all know that at least 2 liberal judges in the Court, are too old to serve many more years, and conservatives hope that the Court will boil down to a 4 to 2 right wing majority after these latter two Justices retire or die.

So, I ask, is this the peaceful transfer of power from one administration to the next that our Founders dreamed about and we have witnessed for over two centuries?

The SCOTUS is the only way we can undo the damage you fascist democrats inflict upon America....

I am fine with it but I would put in place a more effective power structure directly linked to we the people. Perhaps a better impeachment process so we can remove the fascist,liberal judges when they abuse the constitution....

Elections have consequences. Where did I hear that before.

There is nothing Democrats can do to force a vote on judges. Thank you founding fathers, much smarter than today's idiot left.

Nope, these are the checks and balances portion of our program.

Against a slow invasion of imported voters directed by a Marxist political party determined to bury the Constitution? I have no problem with the Senate sitting on its hands for as long as necessary.

I think we should be like Venezuela, and ignore the courts. We could move straight to Socialism, not pass 'Go' and not collect $200.

As the SCOTUS is supposed to interpret the Law, and you Progs have destroyed The Rule of Law:

The SCOTUS no longer serves any purpose in Your System of Elite Power and Bureaucratic Whim...other than to perform a Kabuki Theater to provide a fake veneer of legitimacy for the actions of the Gangsta Government.

There is no peace in The District, and the first shot of the war between the two dominant parties was fired by Newt Gingrich. Power tends to corrupt, and Gingrich was and remains both an enemy of the people and one of the most corrupt Pols in my lifetime (sorry Delay, you are as corrupt but were not the archetype Gingrich was).

He has infected a whole new generation of Republicans who seek power for themselves and the benefits it provides for them and those who provide them the resources to win elections. The people are to be used by them and their interests ignored (We've got ours, fuck the rest of you is what they believe, what they do).

McConnell is the personification of what is wrong with The District, he claims to be a conservative but is nothing more than an ideologue whose ideal form of government is a single party system, allowing for no debate and no dissent. "Country First"? Hell no, and he well understands some of the people all of the time are fools.

Ryan is no peacemaker, his ambition is similar to that of McConnell, but less forthright. He hides behind Christian ethics and the word of Jesus, but holds similar disdain for The People as does McConnell. I'd like to see Charlie Rose moderate a debate between Ryan and Pope Francis.

There will be no peaceful transition, Trump has made that clear. Win or lose Trump will a poor winner, or an evil loser.

The RED SCARE - how prosaic. As a hate and fear form of rhetoric, it fails the test of reality. Only biddable people believe Marxism is alive and prospering in our nation or in any parts of the developed world. It seems the crazy new right membership on this message board are easily lead, proved by the echo chamber who echo the same ignorance as B-K on a plethora of issues, and in particular his claim of Marxism in America.

Yes Virginia, Lincoln was spot on, some people can be fooled all of the time.

We still have 8 justices and protocols for the court to operate with 8 justices so no need to get your granny panties in a giant wad

To hell with the court. They don't uphold the Constitution anymore.

Actually a simple majority in the Senate (with the VP vote) can force a vote on justices.....But, rather than explaining how to you, Ricky, I'll let you seek out some education all by yourself. LOL

Should we also pay those guys in the Senate just to sit on their hands...Should we "reward" them for doing nothing.....I thought you nitwits were against rewarding lazy, do-nothing citizens.....LOL

Your logic is fractured on this, unfortunately.

The current 8 person Court will soon trickle down to a 7 person court as Ginsberg waxes old and more feeble.

Then with 7 there will be 2 swing voters (Kennedy and Roberts), 2 strict constructionists (Thomas and Alito), and the rest (3) activist communists.

7 would be a very good Court with this current composition.

I am guessing that Hillary will unable to appoint ANY justices in the next 2 years at least, and probably not for the next 4 years in total.

With 4 communists already on the Court (Breyer, Kagan, Sotomayor, and Ginsberg) the U.S. Senate cannot afford to ratify ANY of Hillary's nominations -- not now -- not ever.

Scalia's untimely early death has changed everything.

I would suggest before you call someone willfully ignorant you willfully go to school and learn the difference between "then" and "than".
