Dem Lawyer: Obama Can Appoint Garland to SCOTUS Without Senate Approval

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

[Repeal 16-17]

It is altogether proper to view a decision by the Senate not to act as a waiver of its right to provide advice and consent. A waiver is an intentional relinquishment or abandonment of a known right or privilege. As the Supreme Court has said, “ ‘No procedural principle is more familiar to this Court than that a constitutional right,’ or a right of any other sort, ‘may be forfeited in criminal as well as civil cases by the failure to make timely assertion of the right before a tribunal having jurisdiction to determine it.’ ”

This guy's a lawyer? The advice and consent role of the Senate is not a right of the Senate that it can waive. It's part of the Constitutional process by which appointments are made (except for VP vacancies). No part of the federal government can waive a part of a Constitutional process. Under this moron's logic, the Senate could argue that the Liberal Messiah waived His power to nominate due to His taking weeks to nominate.

Utter BS.

[Jeff Chandler]

The truly sad thing is if he did this and a Republican rose to the presidency, the Republican would revert to the previous Borkable method.

[Rome2000]

It’s a logic argument.

The Senate refusal to give advice and consent does not mean the POTUS can’t appoint.

The GOP needs to stop being a bunch of pussies and vote the halfrican s pick down.

Nothing short of Impeachment can be done to Obama if he goes ahead in 90 days and does this, he’s got nothing to lose.

[Organic Panic]

Democrat thugs KNOW they can’t just appoint a supreme court justice. If Obama could it would be his black female lesbian transgendered illegal alien from Somalia.

[Brooklyn Attitude]

Crazy aint they? The deranged Trumpanzees prefer to attack Cruz instead of hitlery or Sanders, even in threads that dont involve Cruz.

[dforest]

Itreally does sound like something Cruz would do.

Cruz, Hillary Sanders, no ethics and no conscience.

[Salvey]

5.56

We're almost there.

[BlueNgold]

How to start a war in one easy lesson...

[Brooklyn Attitude]

“Itreally does sound like something Cruz would do.”

Only in your mind, driven by an irrational hatred of Cruz, because he is a threat to Trump to who you are pathologically devoted.

[terycarl]

No, he can’t.

[DoughtyOne]

This has to be right out of Ted Cruz’s play book.

It’s legal!

Who could object? Right Tedra?

Actually the English translation for diskant is treble of which the simple definition is:

the highest range of sounds used in music and a voice or instrument that has the highest range of sound

The full definition is: 1-- a: the highest voice part in harmonic music : soprano

b one that performs a treble part; also : a member of a family of instruments having the highest range

c:a high-pitched or shrill voice, tone, or sound

d:the upper half of the whole vocal or instrumental tonal range — compare bass

e:the higher portion of the audio frequency range in sound recording and broadcasting

2--:something treble in construction, uses, amount, number, or value

And the German translation for Dickhead is is dick Kopf which means being stubborn

[smokingfrog]

Holy crap!
That’s scary!

Something to think about if you’re inclined to skip this election just because your guy is not the nominee.

[Kaslin]

You said it.

[Kaslin]

That is true

[Kaslin]

Oops, you are correct. The keyword is appoint.

[Kaslin]

BTTT

[Salvation]

I don ‘t think so.
