You rock! My sentiments exactly!
Justice Brennan was a recess appointment. It lasts for the session unless ratified by the Senate only 51` votes!! Then it is LIFE!! DO IT!!
Once the recess appointee’s term has expired, can’t they still be put up for nomination?
There has to be some rino jerk that’s hiding behind Chuck U Schumer’s filibuster.
No. See John Bolton.
You are the WINNER!!!
Make these asshats have a REAL filibuster. When it’s over vote in Trumps pick. So simple even a US Senator should be able to figure it out!
2. If that happens, then Trump has the opportunity to wait until the Senate is in recess and then make a recess appointment that will sit on the Supreme Court for 1-2 years.
3. A nominee who accepts this appointment is not someone who is likely to give up an existing legal career to take this position unless they are very old already.
So here is my suggestion for President Trump ...
If the U.S. Senate blocks your Supreme Court nominee, wait until a Senate recess and then make a ridiculous appointment like a retired pro wrestler to sit on the Court for 1-2 years.
“A few tweets from Trump and that will get the Republicans in line. I doubt McConnell is the problem (his wife now works for Trump), but once the problem is identified (likely McCain, Rubio, and that bunch), they will soon be seeing at tweet storm.”
One can only hope but I don’t trust this wing of the “Republican” party.
I hear your concern, but I base my prediction on Ryan caving and agreeing to pre-fund the WALL. I think they’ll realize that fighting Trump this early is futile, quite soon.
In my opinion, conservatives, Republicans and libertarians should hold ground and NOT give in while the fervent energy is present.
Take advantage of this energy and recreate the Constitutional Republic, which we are.
All this talk about a democracy is nonsense for a reason.
Democracy is two wolves and one sheep deciding what’s for dinner.
It’s acceptable for Israel to build a wall, which works, BTW, but not the Goyim, apparently according to the fake news purposefully omissions.
Recess appointment : Clint Eastwood. REALLY make their heads explode. Then back Clint up with a rock-solid consetvative team of law clerks to do the real work.
Good idea. It’s pretty much the same point. LOL.
No, just make them do a real filibuster, not just say they are filibustering. The Republicans never make them do it, they just fold to the threat.
Make them do it, it will end and then they vote, Democrats lose.
If that old ACLU crone, Ginsberg, can sit on the SCOTUS, a dog should be able to have a seat.
The reason is that it takes 60 votes to stop debate and if there are not 60 votes, debate can go on forever. The interesting thing, once the 60 votes are achieved to stop debate and vote on the nominee, it then takes just 51 votes to confirm the nominee.
No. Not correct.
Absolute fact.
Let the Stoopid be cry babies ...
GOPe gang members of 8 ...
Dare the democrats to vote him off, a la John Rutledge (1795).
