Excellent idea. No guts with the R’s. Clinton is just waiting this whole thing out. Now Obama is carrying her water.
No, approving a Justice named by Obama should not be negotiable.
Obama’s failures to do all those things you mention are exactly why the Senate should not work with him on a Justice. He doesn’t exhibit good faith in allowing the Congress to do its oversight. And will continue to fail in the next 11 months.
Obama will not come clean on those scandals just to get a Justice named. Neither side trusts the other at this point, and justifiably so.
Yes, get all that, consider it and then vote it down.
Already fired off notification to one of my senators to not hold any confirmation hearings. The other one is hairy screed so there’s no point in sending him anything.
We don’t want a felon choosing our Supreme Court Justice for us, now do we?
Not to forget the prosecution of Eric Holder for LYING to Congress...
Yertle the Turtle has already folded up like an accordion & will give Obama his liberal replacement for Scalia. Done deal.
HAHA, fun thought.
As to judicial confirmation proceedings in general, perhaps add Miguel Estrada’s treatment by the dems to the list.
They should hold off until an autopsy and investigation are completed on the death of Judge Scalia.
My dream is that the Republicans evade all discussion of the vacancy, answer no questions with anything but we’ll see about that, and take whatever minimal heat there is for being “obstructionist.” This situation is an existential threat to America. I don’t like comparing everything to the Nazi’s, but the analogy here is to Munich. Too bad Neville Chamberlain was not an obstructionist.
Brilliant!
You are what we need in the senate, but you appear to be overqualified!
