Singer Barbra Streisand, a major Hillary Clinton supporter and one of Hollywoods most outspoken leftist activists, is calling on President Obama to bypass Congress and unilaterally appoint his pick for the U.S. Supreme Court.
The Senate declined to hold hearings or votes on Judge Merrick Garlands nomination as part of its broad advice and consent power. Obama nominated Garland in March to replace the late Justice Antonin Scalia.
Now that Donald Trump has won the election and is set to nominate a judge, Streisand has circulated a petition urging Obama to quickly appoint Garland to the court before Trump can be sworn in as president...

Obama can’t do it because the Senate is not in recess.
And if it was, Garland could only serve until the end of the next Supreme Court term.
Don’t expect libs like Streisand to be read up on the Constitution and reality.
The truth is the nomination is not going on anywhere.

But if he unilaterally appoints Whoopi Goldberg, they’ll be able to call Trump a racist and a sexist, and all the entertainers will rally to her defence.

I know if Iwas president, washed up old singers would be the first people I'd turn to for advice regarding Supreme Court appointments...

A recess appointment can be made without Senate confirmation.
Its only temporary and expires within two years or whatever the term limit is of the appointment.
A recess appointment doesn’t put a nominee on the Supreme Court for life.

Can anyone tell me, in the entire history of our country, how many Supreme Court justices have been appointed without the advice and consent of the Senate?

LMFAO.... Ruth Batter Ginsberg has been one of the most contentious left leaning SCOTUS judges in American history, but her pride and cantankerous nature has given conservatives the best gift ever.... Control of the Supreme court for at least another generation or more. Thank you Ruth... Oh.. And please do resign, I’m sure the Republican senate and congress will pass Obama’s nominee before Trump can appoint your successor.. LOL.... What planet is Barbara living on? Smoke another bowl lady because you are obviously not delusional enough.

I contend, that along with all the other dambass ploys, ads, and overall low energy campaign, this couple brought more votes to Trump by far, than anything else. Look at the hatred for America in the eyes of these people.

The problem is the pesky constitution. The left believes in the rule of law. Whatever They want is the Law.
