President Obama Explains Why He Must Appoint A New Justice (Or Else) - Live Feed
Zero Hedge ^ | 16 Feb 2016 | Tyler Durden

Posted on 02/16/2016 1:50:26 PM PST by amorphous

Due up at 1635ET, President Obama holds his first post-Scalia press conference. We assume the propaganda du jour will be the imminent need to appoint a new SCOTUS justice... and why anyone who blocks that plan is "peddling fiction." While he is up there, we assume some comments regarding the escalations in Syria will be discussed... and why Russia (and Putin most clearly) are to blame.

Absolutely.

But there is no time limit in the Constitution.

It just says they advise and consent.

If he presents someone, they can non-consent and be absolutely pure according to the US Constitution.

McConnell doesn’t sit on the Judiciary committee.

A nominee will never make it out of there.

“.......summit in Rancho Mirage, California”............

Isn’t that quite near a famous golf course?

Corey Booker was on Morning Joe touting his book. It came up that he might be a running mate for Hillary? And it also came up that he might be in line for a scotus post, although that was dismissed somewhat.

Corey Booker was once the alternative if Obama didn’t pan out for the elites.

Do a little research there are speeches online that are exactly the same for Booker and Obama.

Brezezinski mentored both Booker and Obama.

“By any means necessary” means exactly what it says.

Minority female is my guess.

Doesn’t matter if he appoints Martha Washington herself. The Senate has the constitutional power to non-consent.

James Woods is correct - Obama has wiped his rear-end with the constitution the past 7 years, so politely decline his nominee.

As on Breitbart today. Kamala Harris, Lynch is already taking care of his wishes, why fight two fights.

Yeah, he quipped that his golf score was classified. That and his university scores are about the only things which still are, under his Presidency.

If ever a man was/is hated.. it’s the one on TV talking for way too long.. I can’t stand to see or hear him.. I just check back every now and then to see if he’s through.. He is one arrogant sob.. He actually believes he’s the king of the universe... and he is the only one who knows anything.. thus talking down to everyone else.

What are the odds that President Clinton will appoint a more acceptable SCOTUS nominee than Caliph Baraq?

Well, there is this really cute 23 year-old law clerk named Bambi which Bill has been mentoring recently... she may be qualified.

He is in California right. There are no coincidences with this POS.

That is disturbing. At least Kristie Kreme has been shut down for the time being.
