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...

Yes. Marshall law would involve Mr. Dillon.
Oh.... ewww... that picture....
Liberal women are so utterly gross, physically. I have no idea how even their weird neutered males can stand to mate with them.
Why on earth did James Brolin marry that?
Barbra Streisand, World Renown Constitutional Scholar
and Authority, Provides Advice To Lame Duck President
Yesterday, Barbara Boxer introduces a Congressional Bill to do away with the Electoral College - as if a provision in the Constitution can be discarded without a Constitutional Amendment.
Today, Streisand urges that a Supreme Court appointment be made without the “advise and consent” of the Senate - as if another provision of the Constitution can also be discarded without a Constitutional Amendment.
There must be some exclusive rehab center to treat such Totalitarian-Liberal dementia.
“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 doesnt put a nominee on the Supreme Court for life.”
All true. But given that Mitch McConnell has ensured that there hasn’t been a Senate recess since Justice Scalia died, and will ensure that there isn’t one prior to noon on January 20, President Obama won’t be able to name even a temporary Justice.
I’ve had many differences with Senator McConnell through the year, but I’ve got to admit that he’s proven to have balls of steel in dealing with the Supreme Court vacancy. I never thought that Senate Republicans would stay firm and not only stay in session throughout, but also refuse to hold hearings on Obama’s nominee. Mitch McConnell deserves credit for this, as does Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Chuck Grassley, who stayed firm despite being up for reelection in a state that voted twice for Obama (and twice for Bill Clinton).
May all Senate Republicans show this much spine in the crucial battles coming up over the next few years.
Sorry Babs - Scotus getting ready to move to the right for the next 25 years or so because of the timing of Trump’s Presidency.....
Not exactly, Venezuela has the launching pad to get her to Jupiter, her Final Destination ...
My goodness. It’s Ms Choksondik.
What do you care Babs? You’re leaving the U.S., right?
Bork you, Barbara.
Oh pleeeeeze! Was it really necessary to post a picture of that ugly witch?
Trumps first move should be to appoint a judge and then immediately after that he should ask that ginsburger be removed since she made a political comment and voiced her opinion during the election. Even though she apologized the damage was done to her and she should be forced out.
Not to mention the POLITICAL comments she’s made SINCE the election.
This bag needs to go!
LOL....poor, old Babs probably thinks she played one (World Renowned Constitutional scholar) in a movie.
Hey Streisand, I’ll quote a hero of yours : “Elections have consequences. I won. “
Not holding hearings means they rejected him. Get over it Barbara
Heard of it, yes. Cares about it, no.
And since when did 0bama care about the Constitution?
I must have missed the part of the constitution that said “advice or consent of the senate unless Barbra Streisand thinks otherwise”....
