NOW he gives a @#$@#$ about what’s laid out in the constitution!!!??
how do they say this with a straight face?!?!
guys, the republic is in the rear view mirror of he gets an ultra liberal on the SCOTUS.
Count on it.
So he didn’t rule it out...
Disappointed but so unlike him not to try to push someone through.
BELIEVE THE OBAMA REGIME AT YOUR OWN PERIL. I, for one, do NOT believe it’s been ruled out.
Thank God we have Mitch McConnell up there fighting for the Constitution.
Does this require a sarcasm tag?
If, IF,
Quote:
-————————————————————”At that point, we expect the Senate to consider that nominee, consistent with their responsibilities laid out in the United States Constitution.”
IF they are consistent with “THEIR RESPONSIBILITIES” they will not approve!!!
But past actions, performance shows they will not take their oath serious!!!!
Mighty big of them. They couldn’t if they wanted to. We are in adjournment, not in recess.
There is absolutely no provision for a certain number of judges on the court, so there is no rush. There is no Constitutional deadline for an appointment, only that the POTUS SHALL appoint and the Senate SHALL confirm (or deny).
If 0bama were to get a lib appointed but the GOP finds a lucky rabbit’s foot and wins the General, the GOP POTUS can appoint as many judges as he pleases - there is no limit up or down.
The tortoise, McConnell, better get a quorum together to reconvene the Senate,because the president’s word is not worth a bucket of warm spit.
Well we will see.
Maybe we do something like Ted Kennedy did when he made that half assed speech how in Robert Bork’s America, blacks would go the back of the bus, people would be hauled off in midnight raids and other such horse blank. Just have to update it to proclaim how this new obama appointed justice would force feed liberalism on us all.
He’s probably saying this to thwart an early resumption of the Senate. The man lies. He lies so much he lies about his lies.
NOT to be trusted.
I hate it when the commie libs wrap themselves in the U.S. Constitution WHEN IT SUITS THEIR NEEDS. The rest of the time, it’s just “an old, obsolete piece of paper written by a bunch of old, white European guys”.
It’s a trap.
I note that they specifically called out the adjournment as a recess.
If the Senate does not reconvene this week, I get the impression the administration will actually attempt a recess appointment.
All this administration does is lie - so I won’t hold my breath as to the veracity of this report.
Why would he do an appointment now. Just wait till Ginsberg croaks and get a twofer.
Simply means just the opposite of what the commie scumbag is saying. Rope a dope redux.
He’ll say this now, and then do it blaming it on us.
Trickery.
He wasn’t to look like the injured party.
Of course, the White House knows that the Senate is not in Recess. The Senate stands in adjournment as is clearly laid out in the Congressional Record.
The White House statement is political theater, believing that most people are too ignorant to discern the difference. They want us to buy into the false notion that the White House would never try a dirty trick to replace Justice Scalia. They would, and they will if they have an opportunity.
Maybe they should just stay in recess until November.
