And yet, it has happened in the past. . That's due process. And it was Warren that wanted to do the simple majority when the libtards were in charge. What goes around ....you know the rest.

wow, a liberal that finally had enough motivation to look something up on Google. Go figure, it must be the end of days.

Hmmmm... I think I said you have the right to freedom of religion but that also said that we have the right to freedom from YOUR religion. Which is a nice way of saying "Mind your own business!!" No where did I say I favored the banning of religion nor that I embraced socialism. Not feeling the Bern over here.

Not going to insult you.....its not worth it!

Just exactly did your highly educated legal mind get to this idea.

Or did you attend a Faux News sermon this morning?

Its the latter!!!!

I was being facetious. Get it?

Because Obama will do a recess appointment. And if congress tries to stay in session, he will wait until the end of the session, in Jan and will have 17 days before the next president is sworn in. Three of his were already found unconstitutional by the Supreme Court, but do you think that the new Supreme Court is going to rule against itself? So yes, it will be illegal. And, yes it will get over.

I guess I couldn't get past the commie thing!

I hadn't heard this one but it might work!

A recess appointment would be a quick way but Pres. Obama knows that make the do-nothing obstructionist Republicans even worse. The President will submit his appointee to the Senate and let the American public see once again how it is the Republicans holding up progress. In an election year, this is a very savvy move for the President - and will be used by the Democrats.

Found dead, alone in his hotel room with a pillow over his head, no security detail and no autopsy. I am not a conspiracy nut but doesn't this seem fishy ? The most Conservative Justice on the Supreme Court. A little too convenient for this POS POTUS. (Use your own imagination on POS abbreviation)

You are wrong. A lifetime Supreme Court appointment should be appointed after this election. Let the people speak.

Sure, Obama will submit his appointee to congress, they will delay or turn it down, and then he will make a recess appointment. That is his MO and he does not care what the public thinks, because he always knows better what is good for us. The tyrant's ego supersedes what is right for the country.

I think they should have an investigation into this suspicious death. Maybe they should use the SAME investigators that are investigating Hillary. I wonder how many years it would take for them to come to a conclusion. The president will have to delay his appointment until there is a satisfactory resolution to this mystery......perhaps Jan 21st?

You do have a peculiar imagination. The family refused am autopsy, I guess they are part of the conspiracy. Typical repub trash, do a little research before you make a fool of yourself.

I wish he could make a recess appointment. But unfortunately, the law requires Senate confirmation. And we know the Senate will not confirm anyone he nominates, no matter how good a candidate he or she is. Their modus operandi is
to block everything Obama does, whether or not it is good for the country. An interesting outcome of this expected prolonged confirmation process, is that the cases on the docket for the Supreme Court will be subject to 4-4 ties. That means an Obama victory for the cases involving unions, The Affordable Health Care Act and contraceptives, and electoral districts.

If not now, then when Bernie or Hillary become President! You may as well get it over with. If the Republicans drag their feet there won't be a Repub left in D.C. to worry about next election!!

Please name one thing good Obama has done for the country.

Actually they already did....5 million of them.

Obama is the current President and will be for nearly a year. Reagan did it!!!

IF this had happened during Crapweasel's last year in office, do you think the Republicans would be urging him to make a recess appointment or wait until the next Presidential election?

I don't know who Crapweasel is, but if you are referring to Bush's last year, do you really think that the congress that was Democrat majority for his last two years would vote to confirm? Get a life.

Are you hallucinating again?

Obama does not care about law requirements. He has already made three recess appointments that were illegal according to the Supreme Court. He doesn't care. Laws do not pertain to this administration.

I can't seem to remember when they were removed, could you enlighten me? lol

Is it illegal? Show the documentation!

I guess you do know who Crapweasel is.

I assumed you were talking about yourself. Was I wrong?

On July 27, 2007, Schumer told his ACS audience:

" How do we apply the lessons we learned from Roberts and Alito to be the next nominee, especially if—God forbid—there is another vacancy under this president? … [F]or the rest of this president’s term and if there is another Republican elected with the same selection criteria let me say this: We should reverse the presumption of confirmation. The Supreme Court is dangerously out of balance. We cannot afford to see Justice Stevens replaced by another Roberts, or Justice Ginsburg by another Alito. Given the track record of this president and the experience of obfuscation at the hearings—with respect to the Supreme Court, at least—I will recommend to my colleagues that we should not confirm a Supreme Court nominee except in extraordinary circumstances." :boom:

"...with a unanimous declaration by the Supreme Court that the president violated the Constitution in 2012 when he appointed three commissioners to the National Labor Relations Board during a brief recess of the Senate"

Court strikes down recess appointments: In Plain English : SCOTUSblog

The body is not cold and the repubs are circulating the wagons.

Does that mean, that the Republicans are swapping out wagons, or moving them in the parking lot, or what? Make some sense, or go whine somewhere else.

Evidently God wants Obama to appoint another Justice, that's why he cashed in Scalia's chips.

Fortunately, now we can get someone more intelligent than Scalia. He was a few IQ points lower than a box of lint.

I did not like Scalia on many levels but he was very intelligent!!!!

Scalia was a very, very evil man.

He is the one responsible for stopping the recount in Florida that led to the most disastrous eight years in American History

Nasty, disresctful, partisan bitching.

I didn't realize there was a McCain/Obama recount in Florida in 2008.

Did the troll leave for school yet?

No, it looks as if YOU are still here. Get back under your rock and do not come out again!

24 hours and not one Obama lover could come up with one thing. Pathetic.
No different than naming one accomplishment Hilary had as Sec State.

the vultures, republicans, democrats and those on this forum started circling 5 minutes after Scalia's death was announced.

The disrespectful, totally bad example set by Obama, McConnel, all the candidates and the media in a frenzy to start another movement that will only further divide this country.

If we truly had a leader in the WH instead of Obama he would have set aside a time for the mourning of and paying tribute to a very significant figure in the history of the USA....like him or not.

Then after that time let the carnivorous free for all commence over how to further divide the country.

And the lemmings who follow suit are too busy carrying their party flag to take note that the "political party" is vying for and looking at a possible power grab. It is either liberal this or consrvative that. If, then, maybe, etc.

Somebody remind me if or when they talk about a candiate that is good for the betterment of America? For the good of the people? For better, clearer justice?

We the people are nothing more than pawns and blindly obedient lemmings to partisan divisiveness while the power grabbers in Washington look down and smile at how stupid we the people have become.....in behalf of the all powerfull "POLITICAL PARTY"........the elected in Washington DC are the only members of that party!
