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...

Ruth actually wrote a paper supporting lowering the age of consent for sexbetween an adult and a minor to 11 I think it was.
Ha ha.
Yeah, Obama. Do it. One MORE thing we can ridicule until you’re history in January.
lol
She's just downright stupid.
SWEAR IN PRESIDENT TRUMP RIGHT NOW !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

No more banana republic for you, babs.
By the Constitution, Obama can make a recess appointment. That appointment is effective until the end of the next Congressional session.
There is no definition of a Congressional session in the Constitution, but that is left up to Congress to decide, the word session appearing only 3 times.
Therefore, if Obama abuses the recess appointment, Congress can respond by beginning in 2017 announcing a session lasting until the day after Trump’s inauguration, a one day recess, and then a new session.
Any recess appointment being good only until the beginning of the next session of Congress.
Hardball can be played by both sides.
Babzie never heard of the constitution.
***********
I bet she can’t even spell it. She need to move to Jupiter with Cher.
I have a better idea.... As long as she thinks it’s OK to ignore the Constitution and give the President this power, how about Trump fires Ginsburg, Sotomeyer, Kagan and Breyer once he takes office and replaces them with real justices?
Yep, a birdbrain.
Babs... the unveiling.
“If even one was state property she MUST GO TO JAIL. “
It was disturbing to discover that the local sheriff, a Democrat, chose which laws to enforce and which not to. I also had discussions with the state’s attorney’s office, also Democrats, and they called it “prosecutorial discretion.” They were quite open about it. The law is the law if they say it is. I suspect it operates that way all the way to the top.
The information in the present context being the Constitution.
>>bypass Congress and unilaterally appoint his pick for the U.S. Supreme Court.
Well, isn't that how the cohorts of the "revolutionary" character she played in Fiddler on the Roof did things?
Babs exemplifies the typical character (or lack thereof) of an Artist struggling to be imitated.
Maybe she can sell her fathers cow, buy a bus ticket, and GTFOOA?
Well he’s gotten away with being a phone-and-pen dictator for eight years. So you can’t really blame her for thinking he can do this.
Wanda Sikes would be better choice....
I remember reading that Ruth Bader Ginsberg was not actually first on the list for the Clintons.
Top of the list was Stephen Breyer (who of course would be appointed later, following Ginsberg). He was favored by Ted Kennedy or some other powerful NE Dem pol.
The story was, Bill Clinton met with Breyer for lunch and took an immediate dislike to him. Breyer was pompous and condescending. Ginsberg apparently less so. Ergo, Ginsberg got picked first.
Those faces!
Or Babs herself. She could sing and dance, and funniest of all, tell the other eight judges her opinions.
