If it was the other way around you know what the ‘rats would do, or not do.
Harry Reid held up Miguel Estrada for two years. McConnell only has to do 11 months.
True, there has been an Election since Obama was elected. That means if a Justice were to be appointed, it would be on Obama to submit a nominee that would be acceptable and confirmed by the Republican Senate. If Obama can't do that, then it should wait on the further election. If Obama can, then so be it, that is the way things are setup and it works. We can't just decide to set aside the Constitution for a year while we have an election.
I for one don't think it is wise to speak in absolute terms regarding a pre-decided outcome.
HILLARY: "HOW CAN YOU VOTE FOR THE RACIST REPUBLICAN PARTY PRESIDENT WHOSE PARTY REFUSES TO CONFIRM THE FINE BLACK MAN OBAMA APPOINTED TO REPLACE JUSTICE SCALIA??!!"
I don’t trust anyone in the government to pursue an honest investigation into the cause of Justice Scalia’s death.
The timing of his death is just too convenient for the democrats.
There is no bottom to the depth this evil administration will sink to accomplish Obama’s sworn transformation of the nation.
The constitution makes the rules and the constitutions says that the senate gets a say in it. so, like it or not, there it is.
And you KNOW that’s what he’s going to do. THIS WILL BE RED MEAT FOR HILLARY TO THROW OUT TO HER RABID FANS.
All the Democrats will have to do is threaten to shut down the government and the Pubs will fold like a cheap suit.
Who gives a crap what the dummies demand.....they’re in the back of the bus now This will be simple if the republicans do the right thing!!!
Trump needs to wait til MOnday then weigh in heavy on this. Or at the debate tomorrow night.
Sad,isn’t it?
I hope his wife and children will call for an independent autopsy aside from any performed by the government.
I think Justice Brennan was a recess appointment of President Eisenhower, but I'd have to look it up to be sure.
Which i don't feel like doing right now. lol!
Yea, but since when has the SO* actually done what he said...
Great googly-moogly, he is going to appoint a Syrian refugee
No.
L
Chris Wallace just said that when Congress’ term ends, Obama could have 17 days to make a recess appointment.
The debate is tonight. The beer is cold.
There’s no way the Democrats didn’t have Scalia assassinated. Their reactions just come off as too prepared, and the timing of his death comes at a moment when Hitlery would have otherwise been subject to public scrutiny.
If we don’t get you in this life, Soetoro, Satan’s going to have a fun time with you.
