I don’t think it makes any difference whether he appoints a judge or not. The choice will never make it out of the house. And any person thinking two socialists like Clinton or Sanders have the capacity to appoint a judge that best contours the populous of the US, is certifiable. Obama’s a lame duck president and there isn’t a conservative on the planet that would give any of his thoughts a second look or the time of day when they don’t have to. There are a lot of liberals that don’t trust him either. He’s burned a lot of bridges. So, it’s a non-entity.
Hope your are right RW71!!!
If the pResident does appoint someone, do not think the Senate has enough or really any backbone to object, if past behavior is any indicator they will throw a ‘hissy fit’ for the voters then acquiesce to him!
Pray you have it pegged correctly!!
It's the Senate...the house has no constitutional role to play!!!
