THE PRESIDENT HAS THE RIGHT TO NOMINATE A CANDIDATE.
THE SENATE HAS THE RIGHT TO IGNORE THE CANDIDATE.
Forgive the dems on the threads here Contumacious. They're a little fuzzy on separation of powers. How do I know? The same evening Obergefell 2015 was announced, this display appeared on the Whitehouse. So, we all know it takes days of approval and paperwork to make any changes at the Whitehouse. The muted colors alone, less bright than white would have posed a security issue. Think of the timing and do the math. The Obama Administration was advertising to the world that they knew in advance how Obergefell would come down.
And when the Judicial can rewrite the Constitution to include "just some deviant sex behaviors that are our favorites...but not others" (like polygamy, which is discriminatory towards polygamists) using the 14th Amendment, to cover marriage, which isn't a guaranteed right in the Constitution, just like driving isn't either (the first if not qualified: danger to children, the second if not qualified, a danger to other drivers), then we have the Judicial doing the Legislature's job, and the Executive having pre-knowledge (influence over) what the Judicial is doing. The Legislature's power (the closest to the People in working practice) has been all but castrated.
So when a cult like what the dems have become feels unbridled tyrannical power, don't expect them to understand how the Legislature has any intrinsic power to balance the Executive's demand that we unbalance the Supreme Court to lean hard liberal left. They just won't get it.
"What? Limitations to our cult-steamroller? Brakes on the runaway train???? Are you talking Greek or what?.."...
You know they don't even know why they want radical change anymore. I think at this point it's just a movement with a life of its own that helps them numb the pain of the psychological wounds they clearly have and clearly aren't dealing with.. But why should the rest of us suffer because they won't recapitulate their lives?
