If the Republicans do not block this then America is finished. And it will be time for a new party and disband the Republican crap.
Is she a lesbian? How could the senate turn down the first black lesbian appointment to the Supreme Court. What else matters? /s
“If the Republican Congress or presidential candidates resist this choice, the President is giving Hillary fodder for rallying the black vote and bashing the Republicans as ‘THE RACIST PARTY’ and this would be a continuous media feeding frenzy throughout the election!”
So.........what would be different?
Just ask Dr. Ben Carson for a full-throated public explanation as to why Lynch is utterly unacceptable. But really, all this discussion wouldn’t be happening if anybody, anywhere, could put any trust in McConnell and the GOPe. In fact, the reason we’re having this “what-if” guessing game is precisely because everyone knows how utterly squishy McConnell and the GOPe are.
It doesn’t matter what liberal he nominates.
They only get one vote like the rest of them, and they will all vote with the liberal 4 to remove the last of our freedoms and must be stopped at all costs.
If Obama wants to get someone approved, it’ll be someone moderate enough to win over the backstabbers...Mukowski, Ayotte, Flake, Lindsey Graham. You know they and a few other will cross lines with the slightest excuse.
What if Congress took as long on choosing Scalia's replacement as you did to make a decision on the XL Keystone Pipeline which took 7 years?
Well....the GOP approved her once before. The fold is imminent.
He will nominate someone, anyone, other than the qualified white guy.
Her successor as AG will have to agree not to indict HRC, that may complicate things.
Corey Booker.
Why nominate? Recess appoint her now.
Nope, she’s too much of an insider. People will think poorly of it thus ruining his strategy.
He just cited the ‘Constitution’. How come he never does that when he does unconstitutional things like changing immigration laws without Congressional consent?
Wouldn’t be surprised. She would be used for maximum political effect. Otherwise, she is too old. Bathhouse Barry would prefer someone younger to destroy America for the coming decades.
Is she gay? I don’t think two victim classes, black and a woman, qualifies for any new Obama appointments.
Yep. And if republicans don’t confirm her, they’re racists.
Wouldn’t surprise me a bit. Or “Stedman” Holder, but I think even Obama may realize he’s not going to ram that one through. What he needs is someone who will end up with the liberals on the court but who has a veneer of objectivity that the Senate will look bad rejecting.
One thing for sure, there’s no way Obama lets this crisis go to waste. Because “he won”.
I am sooooo happy that this is an election year. The ill-conceived 17th Amendment will arguably backfire on the anti-constitutional republic Progressive Movement with respect to angry patriots exercising their voting muscle to fire state sovereignty-ignoring senators.
Note that a Senate controlled by a 2/3 conservative supermajority can then work with the House to impeach and remove state sovereignty-ignoring activist justices from the bench.
