Just more incentive to get him out of their hair.
Beat ya to it, FRiend....
First and foremost, may God take his faithful servant, Antonin Scalia, into His hands and keep him safe. Second, prayers to his family and friends. Third, I pray for our country because we are so screwed right now. I can only hope that the Senate, led by Ted Cruz, will filibuster any nominee that Obama puts forward to sit on SCOTUS.
Scalia was one of Reagan’s greatest gifts to us.
OMG...Holder????? I am just sick.
I hope someone out there is willing to put a stop to this. If Holder must be put on the court then let Ginsburg retire.
-PJ
true. Just makes if official now.
I am praying the strong senators like Lee, Cruz and Paul can tie and gag Mitch McConnell in order to stall any nominations until Obama is retired.
( I hate to think of the disgusting celebrations that must be going on at DNC right now)
BUMP
Checking now, thanks.
Did you see post #321 and #315.
In fact I have heard him called Scalito in reference to his similarity to Scalia We need prayer now more than ever
Just touching base with technology today....
I am stunned. Rest in Peace good Jurist, Rest in Peace good man.
This is bad, very bad and we all know “blocking” the assent of a new jurist is fantasy.
So, all the more reason to make sure the election wrests the reins of power from the Democrats AND insures we place an United States loving, Constitution loving President and VP into office.
A very long and dark shadow is falling across our Nation.
Just set Rubio, the Memorizer Bunny on autoplay for a few days.
If he can remember where the Senate building is these days
Unlikely? These are Republican senators here. Expedite is probably the operant word.
“The Senate is Republican”..........
Too bad their leaders are republicans as well. So far McConnell has bowed down to odumbo at every turn and I don’t see him putting up any road blocks now either.
Why couldn’t each standing SCOTUS select another judge as their “backup” before they pass away or retire instead of giving the President the choice to select all of them? at least the odds would stay the same.
Oh man, here we go. .
The Senate delayed the Loretta Lynch Atty General appointment for 6 months.
Get over it. All conservatives thought Roberts was a good choice. Every single one of us.
Plus, how in the world is a President Elect going to go about nominating a Justice without a staff, etc. It would be 18 months. And there are many things the new President needs to hit the ground running on.
Plus, I can see this whole thing tilting the Senate Elections and the Presidential Election. Justices aren't elected, but that is what the whole Election will be about.
The more I think about it, the more I hope Obama will get together with Senate leaders and submit a consensus candidate that can be confirmed with little contention from either side. And BEFORE the political party conventions this summer.
If Obama decides to submit someone who can't be confirmed, then it will be on him and this will not get done.
