Today the drivebys starts a full court press to have Obama replace Scalia with a Leftist.
I hope every GOP candidate fights back with good, solid points.
The president does have the prerogative to appoint whoever he wishes, but it must be done with ADVICE and CONSENT of the Senate.
If there was ANY reason I voted straight Republican in 2014—this was THE issue.
McConnell and the Senate Republicans in charge have EVERY Constitutional right and authority to vote NO on any of Obama’s picks.
The latest I hear on this matter is that a)already many Democrats are asserting, including the White House, that OBama will immediately begin appointing a new Justice.
Mitch Mumbles McConnell, allegedly, said the Senate would not approve an Obama nominee.
Yon ladies and gems....THIS WILL BE THE TEST!
The so-called establishment guys should be getting a discontent message from the voters and let us see if they grow a pair and hold up that supreme court nomination until after the election.
The Democrats won’t take this sitting down....it’s going to be nasty.
The news blackout on Cruz continues. The MSM telling you who they fear.

Every time Bush or Rubio would burp there was a 5 min cheer.
0bama can nominate whomever and whenever.
The Senate has to represent their State and their States desires.
Each can discharge their responsibilities without. being political
McConnell and the Senate Republicans in charge have EVERY Constitutional right and authority to vote NO on any of Obama’s picks.
Obama is very clear on “ I will say NO/Veto” on his programs, so it’s time for the Republican controlled Senate and House to say NO on their responsibility of not letting the Supreme Court become a Rubber Stamp Majority for the opposition.
I hope people care A LOT. And I hope they show the Senators that they care. We should never forgive any Senator who votes to confirm a liberal judge.
