Empty Chair

[LaDexter]

Want to fight terrorism? You need the funding to do it.

Or we could just bomb the sh!@ out of the Mossad HQ, and that wouldn't cost much, but would shut off ISIS money and social media...

but you wouldn't support that, because that would work to end ISIS, and you LOVE ISIS, all the fear, all the money sloshing around government for sticky chosen fingers to grab...

 

[blackhawk]

I hate to remind the left of this yet again but the Democrats were ready to do the exact same thing if a Supreme Court seat opened up during President Bush last years in office.

Never happened

Republicans are willing to leave a vacancy for in excess of one year and maybe more once Trump loses

Three more vacancies in SCOTUS coming up. Will Republicans allow the court to go down to five judges?

It never happened because a seat on the Supreme Court did not open up in 2007 Democrat Chuck Schumer was calling on Democrats to block any possible Bush Supreme Court nomination. No different than what Republicans are doing now.

Hypothetical and much, much less than the 15 or more months the Republicans are leaving an empty seat

Unprecedented in the history of the US

So Schumer was in 2007 which by the was well over a year before Bush left office calling for blocking any possible Bush Supreme Court nomination just for fun and to hear himself talk. Typical left wing hypocrisy it's always ok when my side does it.

Makes no sense

Terrorism is not such an easy target.....especially with conservatives wanting the terrorists to win

Never happened did it?

Someone talking hypotheticals and actually crippling the Supreme Court are two different things

Leaving a seat vacant for over a year because you hate Obama is borderline criminal

I have explained repeatedly why it didn't happen because the opportunity didn't present its self. Thinking that someone calling for blocking Supreme Court nominations was not going to go through with it if they had to is combination of partisan, naive, and dumb.

 

[rightwinger]

With Trump as an opponent, looks like Hillary may get to name five justices to replace Ginsburg, Kennedy, Breyer and Thomas along with Scalia

Will Republicans allow the Supreme Court to function with four justices ?

The Treasury Department has no Senate-confirmed undersecretary to handle terrorism financing, even as it tries to counter the rising threat of the Islamic State.

The State Department hasn’t had a permanent legal adviser for three years, a job crucial to shaping the country’s stance on drones, NSA surveillance and other high-profile international matters.

A backup assistant attorney general is running the Justice Department office tasked with investigating the Baltimore and Chicago police departments.

At the Environmental Protection Agency, more than half the agency’s top slots are held by interim leaders;

at the Department of Education, a deputy is now filling in for departed Secretary Arne Duncan, and the Cabinet post is likely to be filled by an acting secretary for the remainder of President Barack Obama’s term.

Looks like Republicans putting self interest above the country as they cripple not only Congress but the Judicial and Executive Branches

Just because they do not get to call the shots

 

[rightwinger]

No question that Republicans are the party of the empty chair.....hundreds of them

Nobody has dared to leave a Supreme Court seat empty for this long.....until this version of Republican came along

Lame duck for a year?

 

[LaDexter]

especially with conservatives wanting the terrorists to win

Zionists are not conservatives, and wanting them to "win" is inaccurate. Zionism wants their Mossad sponsored "terror" acts to provoke the US to go to war to help Israel re-conquer the Biblical Promised Land defined in CH1 of Book of Joshua (the Euphrates River is supposed to be ISrael's NE border v4)...

That's what 911/Al Qaeda was about.

That is what Mossad sponsored ISIS is all about...

Seems you're confusing obligation with capability. Just because congress in capable of doing something doesn't mean they are obligated to do it on your timetable, especially when they consider the actions destructive of the country.

Maybe your dear leader shouldn't have appointed partisan hacks to the court the first two times. He's not going to get a third chance.

Very true..Republicans are under no obligation to do what they were elected to do

Loyalty to party is preferred to making sure our courts and executive branches can serve We the People

Four years ago at the GOP Convention, Clint Eastwood addressed an empty chair that he claimed represented President Obama

But today there is no better representation of the Republican Party than the "Empty Chair"

The most glaring empty chair is in the Supreme Court as the Republican Senate refuses to fill the seat
Beyond that, there are 90 empty chairs in lower courts as Republicans refuse to fill the vacancies

In the Executive Branch, there are over 100 vacancies awaiting confirmation as the Republican Congress sits on its hands

Obama’s vanishing administration




.

Why should they allow obozo to put another raving liberal on the court? Why allow the balance to be shifted for the next 30 years?

Blocking any obozo appointment is the right thing to do. He is the lamest of ducks right now, shutting him down is in the best interest of the American people.

The GOP in congress finally did something right.

It seems to me that the Texas abortion decision on Monday demonstrates that the justices are able to base their decisions on law rather than politics. That is the way it's supposed to be you know. Why do Republicans continue to insist they need more conservatives when they've already got 4 and the court STILL won't vote for their fucked up agenda? BECAUSE it's not about politics, it's about the law.

Conservatives have controlled the Supreme Court since Nixon

The concept that our highest court could actually lean liberal is enough to send conservatives into a rage.

Why won't Republicans allow the position to be filled?

Nominate someone we like too.
Cant get any easier.
