It has been confirmed that Judge Scalia is dead in his room at a Texas resort. No eulogy, but the man will far more than deeply missed as a soldier holding the line for our Constitution.
Suddenly this election has become much more complicated and more important than even the most pessimistic among us had realized. We must use this election as a final and clearest of statements to the US Senate that will confirm Obama's next(and rapid) appointment to the Supreme Court; that THEY MUST NOT ACT TO CONFIRM Scalia's successor, UNTIL this election is over!!
We must come together now, no matter what candidate we support and FLOOD every senator's switchboard and mail box.
Contact every conservative network in your grass roots, be it Libertarian, Church,Legal Bureau, and,yes- Prayer Chain you know of.
IF, IF this Republican Senate will not find the guts to do this much, we must make them understand CLEARLY that they will from that moment ceased to exist, as a political party.
We dont even need to think of the Crap that Obama could push through the Court if they cave and betray this time.
I never denied Cruz supported Roberts. It was Bush(the decision maker) who appointed him. Then the Senate confirmed him. What are you not understanding?
Puppet masters. Lol. Give it a rest. At least he is not a slave to Mammon as Trump it.
Again, so Alinsky
Uh huh. If you believe Trump will do anything he says, then you are already hopeless.
I don’t trust Cruz who supported and fought for Justice Roberts. Nope. He proved he is not trustworthy.
We read, we learned their tactics. We use them. Get with it. And beat the crap out of the left by being better at it instead of bemoaning it. Adapt.
Rather if you believe he will nothing that he says, it is you I would posit is the hopeless one. Have a nice night.
Do
No, not illegal. You can think it’s stupid, but it is not illegal. Even with a patronage job, as long as you don’t name a name, you can hint. With a USSC position, however, you can go pretty far. Rutherford Hayes did this in the Compromise of 1877.
I don’t trust Cruz who supported and fought for Justice Roberts. Nope. He proved he is not trustworthy.
^^ THAT ^^
Not to mention all of the dirty tricks untrusTED’s played, just in this campaign.
NO Thanks!!
GREAT GREAT GREAT IDEA!!!
I like it!
Although I doubt Cruz would be for it.
OUTSTANDING! Let the senate GOP know they stand or fall on No confirmation before election.
Query... if you're a young (33) but rising star in judicial circles, and one of your mentors (who helped your boss (W) in the Bush v Palm Beach and Bush v Gore election cases just four years prior) was just nominated to SCOTUS, what do you say, assuming you have no powers to tell the future?
This is why it has to be more than a simple call-in. It must be massive and widespread. Any and all who are able to show up at the Senator’s office with letters and petitions, go for it. Make it registered voters who have VOTED GOP last time, this in addition to e-mail and phone calls. Voter “walking lists” are available at County Auditors office. These identify those people.
LOL, when they throw the Alinsky meme at you, you know you’ve won the argument.
Brava, Guenevere!!
Whoever you believe will do this by all means vote for him. Before this election we must have the chance for him to do so by putting so much pressure on the GOP cowards in the Senate that they will fear confirming Obama’s appointment, than they fear not confirming.
Time to go for jugular.
Could be ; but if so it will gives us even more time to pressure the Cowards in the GOP Senate to fear confirming more than not confirming. GOP Senators in blue and purple states are vulnerable to grass roots pressure. Everything from hand carried letters and petitions to e-mail and phone calls. Work the community your closest to. A voters list of active voters is available at your County Auditor’s office by address.
It’s very hard for me to suffer dumbasses these days. They pop up like mushrooms.
Right, The media guys will never be gentle with the GOP Senators, That’s why we need to make our Rep. Senators more frightened of us than they are of Obama and the media; and NOT confirm until after the election. Regardless of who we vote for we need to unite in this to be effective to have any chance after the election. Focus on this and network to let the Senate and the Party; that cave on this and they have ceased to be a Party.
