Will John McCain and Lindsey Graham help obama pass his judge to the court?

[PaintMyHouse]

Not if it refuses to vote...

indeed you are incorrect

Nope. That's not Advise and Consent, that's not doing your job, something the American people are already seriously pissed off about.

what the article says is the president has the power

if he has consent of congress

a no vote is the same as not giving consent

cry all you want

They are promising no vote, not a no vote. They are nothing alike.

And, I'm not worried, If they pull it, they're fucked, not to mention, going against the Original Intent of the Constitution...

the Constitution does not say they have to provide a vote

no vote is not giving consent

and the president would be advised of that

the libtard crystal ball is strong today

--LOL

See above, for the Original Intent of the Constitution.

"Will John McCain and Lindsey Graham help obama pass his judge to the court?"

Wrong question.

Correct question: will Senate republicans do their jobs and respect the will of the the American people by timely confirming a replacement for the Supreme Court, or will they play partisan politics and ignore the Constitution and the will of the people and make an attempt to block the nomination for no other reason than their unwarranted animosity toward the president.

1- The Constitution (1787) ended in 1935

2- Congress must NOT confirm a candidate as a matter of expediency

3- Confirming a candidate who is an avowed fascist/socialist is not good for the country

The Senate should do its job, period.

What is its job?

To vote on who is nominated. Advise and Consent.

"The President] shall have Power, by and with the Advice and Consent of the Senate, to make Treaties, provided two thirds of the Senators present concur; and he shall nominate, and by and with the Advice and Consent of the Senate, shall appoint Ambassadors, other public Ministers and Consuls, Judges of the supreme Court, and all other Officers of the United States, whose Appointments are not herein otherwise provided for, and which shall be established by Law: but the Congress may by Law vest the Appointment of such inferior Officers, as they think proper, in the President alone, in the Courts of Law, or in the Heads of Departments."
Advice and consent - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Exactly. As senators, they have to realize that a liberal jurist would tip the court. Therefore, I see it as their duty to try to keep the court non partisan.

If Obama nominates a person that would unbalance the court, the senate has the responsibility to try to stop him.

Considering that John McCain has always tried to screw over actual conservatives.....how long before he sides with obama and tries to help him pass through a radical lefty judge to fill the vacancy....?

Of course they will. I hope that means the end of their political careers. Republicans aren't going to tolerate back stabbers given their current mood.

Another thread made the possibility of Obama becoming a Justice the karma of con obstruction. 33% of the senate is up for reelection this year too.

That happens every two years, plus or minus one or two elections to fill vacancies. Thank you, Captain Obvious!

Wrong.....they will do their job by allowing the next President to fill the vacancy.

If they take their oath of office seriously.

That is NOT their JOB as described in the Constitution.

If you want to look at anyone screwing over conservatives look at McConnell. His incompetence has screwed the pooch on this one. McConnell should have kept his mouth shut, let Obama make the first move, and innocently dragged out the process until after the election. It would have been alot more effective than jumping up and begging Obama to not perform a standard function of the office when there was never any chance of agreeing.

They took an oath to protect and defend the Constitution.....any judge that obama nominates will be a threat to the Constitution....so preventing that judge from being seated is exactly what they swore to do....
