If anything, the process should be sped up, not slowed down.

in the OPINION of a liberfool !!

When a critical person dies in office, his vacancy is filled. There should be a recess appointment ASAP, and new nominee named almost as quickly.

i don't think he'll do a recess appointment even if he could. it is better to have the discussion for the next 10 months be obstructionist loons on the right, imo.

Better politics, not better for the court.

Barry has made his bed, now has to sleep in it.
With Barry being such an unreasonable guy, he has damaged all of the little trust that those who disagreed with Him had in him.
Obamacare being an living hell for millions is one such thing, it was done compleatly underhanded. Typical of career politicians and their federal government.

**** the "It takes a village mentality"
Lol

Barry does his job wrong so now the Senate should do the same? You really want to take that position?

The senate is full of career politicians, their judgement would not be any different... Shitty.
It's best to start over and wait for the next president to pick their own corrupt SCJ... And let the games begin.

Barry is damaged goods, and yesterday's news...
Stop living in the past, it looks bad on ya...

 

[Wildman]

There should be a recess appointment ASAP,

for one year only.

well, no. the justices have to have a certain level of legitimacy that comes from being vetted. that is better for the court as an institution. if the GOP doesn't want to do it's job, then it will eventually get done. if not by a republican senate and democratic president, then by a democratic senate and president.

let them push their luck. i think it's disgusting and unprecedented but that hasn't stopped these people for the last seven years.

Your willingness to pay people for not doing their jobs, or not being allowed to, is noted. Personally, I oppose that.

Just to the end of the term, to complete the term. There are plenty of retired jurists who would enjoy being a justice, even for a few months.

Playing non-stop politics is why the voters are pissed off. Enough, let's get on with the work...

 

[Wildman]

Odds are that Obama will outsmart...

it takes a lot of smarts to outsmart a Conservative.

i'm with you. the senate should approve his nominee if qualified. THAT is what is non-political.

but they've already said that they won't allow any vote. so he should nominate someone and let them look like idiots. him doing a recess appointment, even if legal, looks iffy and will really confuse voters and make them uncomfortable, imo.

not really. it doesn't take a lot of smarts to refuse to do your job.

but then again, you all aren't that smart.

Since when is being a politician a job? Career politicians are the lowest of life forms.
Single Term limits would make it an duty, like it was originally supposed to be.
Too late for that I guess, there needs to be a lot more fighting.

 

[OldLady]

Dems poisoned the water with their Bork and then Clarence Thomas antics

Both bad but one was confirmed, as have several since then. As Justice Scalia would have said, Get Over It!

You invented Borking, now you have to live with it. As they say payback is a barack

Okay, let's play that game. He got an Up or Down vote, so, your turn, a vote must be held then. Congrats, you just fucked yourself.

Also, Reagan never had any SCOTUS judges murdered, so there's that too

Oh, here we go.

He has been doing it to them for seven years, nothing to indicate that era has ended.

Barry has puppet masters for "his smarts" dumbasses...
See: teleprompter
Lol

These people simply refuse to govern. Time to send the lot of them packing, again...

“It doesn’t really matter what they’ve done, what Reagan did back in ‘87. It was in ‘87 when he nominated him, so obviously it was still earlier in the year. If this was November, October or September of last year where the president had more than a year left in office, then perhaps this would be a different discussion,” Rubio said."
GOP rejects comparisons to Reagan's late-term SCOTUS nominee

"On Feb. 3, 1988, McConnell and literally every other GOP senator voted to confirm Supreme Court Justice Anthony Kennedy. This was during President Ronald Reagan's last year in the White House, and at a time when Democrats controlled the Senate. Kennedy was confirmed 97-0, with three Democrats -- Joe Biden, Al Gore and Paul Simon -- not voting at all because, presumably, they were busy running for president that year."
Mitch McConnell Voted To Confirm A Supreme Court Justice In Reagan's Final Year

The timing changes nothing. Obama still has just shy of a year in office, boys.

they live in a fantasy world

Not the fantasy world you live in thinking Obama is a good president, and can make a good decision. His foreign policy is proof.
