wouldn’t surprise me if he tried it. it further wouldn’t surprise me if the court that he packed then upheld his crime.

[hal ogen]

More DIM/LIB criminality. Justice needs to arrive for these traitors to the Constitution.

[shelterguy]

So then they need to consider him,wait as long as possible then reject him. Start over, repeat as necessary.

[smokingfrog]

The president can only make recess appointments.

[jazusamo]

LOL! Gregory L. Diskant has an opinion and like (you know what) everybody has one.

[cyclotic]

Tar, feathers, fence rail

[Rome2000]

Pretty sound argument.

[ClearCase_guy]

“If you do not consent, I will interpret that as consent.”

Just try it.

[Iron Munro]

It is never a good tactic to telegraph your true intent to the enemy unless you have overwhelming power.

Especially when dealing with anenemy as unscrupulous and as scurrilous as the democrats.

What the republicans should have done is kept their mouths shut about their intent.

Just say “We will perform our constitutional duties.”
and just drag out the process.

If it comes down to the wire and they have to start holding hearings just do it.

Then Bork the heck out of the vetting process.

[dforest]

Sounds like the way Cruz operates.

[combat_boots]

If all 0bama has to do is pronounce something is so and it is, there is no law but him.

We are nearly there as it is.

Maybe people will grovel and crawl to his feet in some reception room, bringing baubles, money, 1st born, women, to get a ‘judgment’ boon. Makes as much sense as this so-called ‘argument.’

[Polyxene]

The Obamatization of Amerika continues in overdrive. Stalin would be proud.

[Bubba_Leroy]

Nope.

But this is much more possible. Under the 20th Amendment, the new Congress takes office on January 3 but the new President does not take office until January 20.

If the Democrats retake the Senate (which is fairly likely at this point), then regardless of who the next President is, Senate Majority Leader Chuckie Schumer will have almost 3 weeks to easily push through confirmation of all of Obama’s nominees on a party line vote, from the Supreme Court to the district courts. There will not be a damned thing that the minority Republicans will be able to do to stop it.

> “...what to make of things when the Senate simply fails to perform its constitutional duty”

The Senate has no time limit to perform such ‘duty’. It has withheld advice and consent for now, that in itself translates to disapproval for a time, and the Senate has already declared that the matter will be taken up after the new President is sworn in. So the Senate will indeed perform its ‘duty’ on their own schedule, not Obama’s.

[sheik yerbouty]

Stalin, like 0buttbongo, was a kommoonity organizer..

[Richard Axtell]

Will the general consensus become apparent that we no longer live in a Democratic-Republic, but are now watching an incremental coup d’ėtat before the election? What else needs to happen? What else does our wanabe emperor have in store? Do not doubt even the most far fetched speculation, as he has already given it thought, if not planned it. This will not end well for us, or him.

It is never a good tactic to telegraph your true intent to the enemy unless you have overwhelming power.

Which is why the Republicans were stupid to telegraph their intent.
