Are We Faced With A Nightmare Scenario Regarding The Future Of The Supreme Court?
USA Transnational Report ^ | February 16, 2016 | Wallace Bruschweiler & William Palumbo

Posted on 02/17/2016 6:36:43 PM PST by Randall_S

Now that Justice Antonin Scalia has been found dead with a "pillow over his head," the showdown is set between the administration of Barack Hussein Obama and the GOP-controlled Senate. Who will Obama nominate, and will he or she be approved by the Senate?

Consider the history of this present administration, coupled with what constitutes a "qualified" resume for the Supreme Court – at least on paper.

>Who is a possible, perhaps even likely, nominee?

>Was it not the Department of Justice (DoJ) that ordered that the voter intimidation case against the New Black Panthers be dismissed – why?

>Was it not the DoJ stonewalling justice in the ATFE gun-running scandal known as Fast and Furious - why?

>In fact, was not the DoJ regarded as the supreme gatekeeper of the scandal-ridden Obama administration?

>In August 2014, Barack Hussein Obama flew back from Martha's Vineyard to Washington for a mysterious 48-hour trip for what the White House claimed to be a series of important meetings. Who were these meetings with, what was discussed, and specifically promised?

>Strangely enough, a month later, in September 2014, Eric Holder announced his resignation as Attorney General. Could he have been the mysterious person involved in the meetings the month before?

>Today, Eric Holder is successfully employed by a private law firm as partner specializing in "complex investigations and litigation matters … that are international in scope and involve significant regulatory enforcement." Would he be willing to leave this comfortable, plushy, and cushy job?

>Potential scenario from the point of view of Barack Hussein Obama – if he nominates Eric Holder to the Supreme Court, he would achieve simultaneously two major objectives: 1) To politicize the Supreme Court beyond description for years to come, and 2) As a means to reward his long-time ally and personal friend.

Is this the unfortunate and inevitable scenario we are faced with?

Keep in mind that this year the Supreme Court is scheduled to judge critical cases that will decide issues related to race in college admissions, abortion, union rights, gun control, immigration and the status of illegal aliens, as well as religious freedom.

In today's political environment, do you think that the above scenario is really far-fetched?

That’s hardly the doomsday dream...try this: Republicans lose the Senate, Obama nominates himself and is confirmed by the new Senate which convenes prior to the next President taking office. Or maybe he nominate Moochelle...

Even if the nominee is blocked by the senate, a 4-4 deadlock in any SCOTUS decision would let a lower court ruling stand.

We are already in that nightmare scenario.

As far as holder being nominated, the clown in the whitehouse is capable of anything and has pretty much thumbed his nose at the constitution, the republicans and the people of the USA in everything.

Bad things happen when you ignore safeguards like this:

“No Person except a natural born Citizen, or a Citizen of the United States at the time of the Adoption of this Constitution, shall be eligible to the Office of President; neither shall any person be eligible to that Office who shall not have attained to the Age of thirty five Years, and been fourteen Years a Resident within the United States.”

Usurpation Day, January 20, 2009 didn’t have to happen.

It happened because both parties wanted to change the Constitution without changing it.

Barack Hussein Obama was born a British Subject and he told us so.

Does anyone really believe the founders did not mean to exclude him?

Well, we already have some “Republican” Senators making noises about caving on this. What a bunch of spinless, clueless, gutless wimps these guys are. Any we ask Putin to send them to the uranium mines in Siberia?

“Qualified” to Obama means someone who hates America and wants to transform it.

If the nominee is black, a racist, a muslim, a homo and an illegal alien Obama would find him/her/it even more qualified.

Why Obama Killed Justice Scalia

Obama mentor Bill Ayers and the 1960s Marxist-Alinsky campus radical, psycho spoiled brats (and their ideological issue) in the Administration are said to have declared that as many as 25 million Americans would have to be killed to bring about the changes they demand.

Looks like someone among them may have found a way to do much of the chore with the murder of just one American. And I will continue to say that it is possible and wear my tinfoil helmet until an impartial and thorough investigation proves no foul play beyond doubt.

Right. And most of the lower courts are "blue". The deck is stacked.

NO!

Unlike the normal nomination-confirmation process, we won't need a Senatorial committee to ask a single question to know where this racist, POS stands on any issue, like the Bill of Rights, for example.

His past racist and unconstitutional actions would Trump any horseshit he can shovel at this late date.

Of course, if Obama is impeached NOW, all speculation is moot.

I would find it both amusing and educational, as well as creative to hear the GOPe claim that there no grounds for impeachment.

That would require the majority to not only lack balls, but the IQ and imagination superior to the domestic enemies sufficient to prevail.
