I don’t understand how this changes the campaign???? teamobama is ecstatic about this and already has a pick in valjars desk. McConnel will cave no matter what anyone on the campaign trail has to say.

teamobama will roll on no matter what. they don’t give a wit what anybody has to say. They have been winning for years now. This is now official.....they have won.

There's a check on SCROTUS judges, it's called impeachment.

All those that voted for Obamacare and fag marriage need to be removed from the bench and deported for good measure ;)

What's with all this girly hysteria? Nut up!

Why quibble over one justice(RIP Scalia), when six can be impeached and replaced?

We just need the leadership.......hmmmmm, who could that be /s

I’m crushed digger.

My father and his brothers and friends were so proud to fight in WWII, even against a country that some of them were Born in!

Decades later There were TWO Americans of Italian descent on the SCOTUS at one time!!

I’m so proud of both of them.

deblasio cuomo and pelosi shouldn’t even mention his name. They’re not worthy

Look what Trump has already done to effect legislation, since he announced. Sanctuary cities, Kate’s Law, muslim immigrants...etc, etc have all been brought up via various bills.

One statement or Tweet from Trump on this will set the tone. Trump leads, others follow.

At first impression one is impelled...

While your writing is always top-notch, you assume way too much of your reader. In no way am I impelled to believe such a fantasy.

This election has twisted you normally gracious utterances beyond hope. You are teetering on an edge I wish you would back away from, please!

My prediction:

When the next 3 months are done, Trump and Cruz will be staunch allies.

In fact, Trump could well promise Cruz the Scalia vacancy, which would seriously help the country.

Absolutely. Ted’s ONLY hope of getting on the Supreme Court is for Trump to put him there, and he needs to make that deal TODAY.

Nope....Trump disagreed with Scalia invoking race, rather than merit, for affirmative action. Why give the lying libs fodder?

This is politically sensitive tactics. If Obama nominates an extremist, or someone with a scandal then the Republican Senate can do nothing and wait for next year.

But if Obama were to nominate a highly respected centrist then it would be political suicide for the Republican Senate to not approve that nomination.

I’m not sure what type is such a respected centrist. Jane Harmon? Bayh of Indiana? Maybe an alleged moderate Earl Warren Republican?

The Republicans need to play this carefully. Speak softly and carry a big stick is my advice.

I don't think you get it.

The Media is going to be running a "0Muslim Needs To Replace Scalia" story 24/7/365 until the election.

The New York Times will have 6 Front Pages every day covered with stories about how this needs to get done.

lol. As if Trump has any power to do anything. At least Cruz can, and will, filibuster.

Ted Cruz is not destined for the Supreme Court. His naked ambition screwed him out of a top job in the GW Bush admin and its going to screw him out of the presidency and the SCOTUS. He will stay in the senate as long as the Texas voters abide him.

Ann Coulter will tell Trump to advocate his position as being against a vote.

Time for a secret meeting between Donald and Ted. Ted slow-walks his campaign, throws his delegates to Donald at the convention to avoid a GOPe brokered convention, Donald nominates Ted to the Supreme Court. Game, set, match.

As a Cruz fan, I agree!

Evidently my writing this time was not "top-notch" or at least not clear. I did not say that we are impelled toward believing that a deal between McConnell and Obama will occur, I said we are impelled toward believing that Donald Trump should be irrelevant to the process of nominating and confirming, or failing to confirm, a new Justice.

I quite agree that Ted Cruz on the Supreme Court would be an ideal post for him and for the country if he fails to persuade on natural born citizen.

I question whether Donald Trump ever has any allies, he has toadies and enemies and those who cooperate at his convenience but, as Churchill said of the Huns, he is otherwise at your feet or at your throat.

You are so right...we can than the White House Commie for giving us a chance to shut down his appointment process until we get an American back in the White House.

Well, we already know what kind of Justice Cruz would appoint...someone in the Roberts mold of course....Trump should ask Yeb! if he had anything to do with his brother nominating Harriet Myers just to get Yeb! to deny it and say his brother made a bad decision.

I hear that Ted is going full Marjoe Gortner tomorrow in the pulpit. For you young’uns that don’t remember Marjoe, there was a great documentary some 40 years ago that was a hoot. Wonder if he is still alive? I should hit the interwebs to find out. Should check youtube to see if there are any Marjoe videos around. Now that’s a preachin’

I understand my friend,most of my family came from Germany and my father fought the Germans in WWII. That is why we all love America so much and want to protect it for our children and grandchildren. God bless your family as true patriots.
