I think you misinterpreted my post. Misleading titles draw responses from posters being goaded. Which you obviously were.

I dislike and disapproved of Bush but I would never say the things I've read here about Obama. You are lucky no one takes you seriously.

Obama's approval rating is 51%.
Presidential Approval Ratings -- Barack Obama | Gallup Historical Data & Trends

Obama's approval rating has been hovering around 56%, so apparently you are part of the minority.

Watch how quickly Senator Mitch McConnell calls for a vote on Obama's Supreme Court nominee when Clinton wins the election. Obama's pick is much more moderate than anyone Clinton would nominate.

I hope all the villagers that think like you, will give up voluntarily all the socialist programs that you are living off of. Social security, tax deductions, medicare, ect. We liberals would not want to see you compromise your values.

Do you think the public school system is a form of democratic socialism? We all pay into it--at least in communities that have schools. Is TV completely unique in that regard. I'm not complaining.

Supreme Court Appointment Process: Roles of
the President, Judiciary Committee, and Senate

The appointment of a Supreme Court Justice is an infrequent event of major
significance in American politics. Each appointment is important because of the
enormous judicial power the Supreme Court exercises as the highest appellate court
in the federal judiciary. Appointments are infrequent, as a vacancy on the nine-
member Court may occur only once or twice,or never at all, during a particular
President’s years in office. Under the Constitution, Justices on the Supreme Court
receive lifetime appointments. Such job security in the government has been
conferred solely on judges and, by constitutional design,
helps insure the Court’sindependence from the President and Congress.
The procedure for appointing a Justice is provided for by the Constitution inonly a few words.
The “Appointments Clause” (Article II, Section 2, clause 2) states
that the President “shall nominate, and by and with the Advice and Consent of the
Senate, shall appoint ... Judges of the supreme Court.” The process of appointing
Justices has undergone changes over two centuries, but its most basic feature — the
sharing of power between the President and Senate — has remained unchanged: To
receive lifetime appointment to the Court, a candidate must first be nominated by the
President and then confirmed by the Senate.

I think the split vote is an indication of a healthy government. That's why there are usually 9. What you want is a government more like Germany during World War II. Everybody agreed with the Fuhrer.
Who wouldn't? You're are lucky you live in a place where you can have a dissident opinion. You just don't know it or forgot.

I found it absolutely hilarious when the strict constructionist, John Roberts, decided the mandate on Affordable Care Act was a tax and therefore it was constitutional. You could hear the Regressives yelping from Washington to Florida!

He also was one of the majority who decided the Texas law on abortions was not constitutional and had to be scrapped.

What does this have to do with the subject, or are you just attempting to bait and troll AGAIN?

Isn't it interesting that people like you, ignorant and can't keep up a debate on the subject, attempt to divert or shut down the forum when they are losing or lost?

Loosing? Where is the scoreboard?

Someone brings up an interesting point or subject about the supreme court and the thought police call it inflammatory. All types of hate speech smears these threads and that's on point and acceptable or we are told to ignore it.

Do you want to police the threads? Bring back Screen Names. The hate speech will go away. The thought police cannot speak in public.

We PAIN in advance for SS and medicare. The LEECHES also get SS and medicaid...for free.

No, it means that there is a split so close that whatever they were deciding on should go back to be re-crafted so the majority agrees.

The SCOTUS is a political organization who also do as they're told.

What "hate speech?" Anything that you don't agree with? What a baby!

Hate speech is speech that offends, threatens, or insults groups, based on race, color, religion, national origin, sexual orientation, disability, or other traits.

You have never seen any hate speech on these boards. Is that correct?

You have never seen anyone recommend "just ignore it." Is that correct?

Your AG has not yet banned "hate speech" in public. Get over it , if you can't take controversial verbiage. Try growing up and stop being such a wuss.

Funny how your "hate speech" is very similar by definition as your P.C. Will you liberals ever cease to amaze me with your false indignity?

Sorry, but I am NOT your momma, but if I was I would tell you to ignore the meanie and quit crying.
