The Senate has waived its constitutional right to advise and consent; Obama should exercise his independent constitutional right to appoint. The Supreme Court vacancy opened during Obama's administration, it is Obama's responsibility and right to nominate and appoint a replacement. The Senate has a concurrent right to advise and consent, but its complete failure to schedule an up-or-down vote means it has waived that right. Obama can and should act now.

More nonsense from the terminally nonsensical.
How about right after the file retroactive budgets for the first 6 years of Obama’s admin?
It is not a right; it is a duty. One cannot waive a duty.
Trump can simply ignore any such action by Obama, nominate whoever he wishes, followed by Senate confirmation of Trump’s nominee.
That scenario can have only one result.
Who is this lunatic?
Mitch McConnell will be hung by his toenails from the refurbished cupola of the Capitol Hill building if he lets this vote come on the floor.
"Waived"?
"Rights"?
"independent constitutional right"
This is goggleygook.
If it is a right, that right would include the right to reject a nominee. One way to reject a nominee is to decline to even consider him or her.
If he did this, it’d only be till he’s booted out of office, right? Such a provocation might even prompt Mr. Turtle to finish off the filibuster, which would be welcome news.
You can always tell a libtard but you can’t tell him much.
This is the exact sort of unconstitutional conduct on the part of the president that led to the broad and deep republican victories only one week ago.
And the democrats want more of it?
duty? please explain.
President suggests, congress has to approve....they didn’t.
We don’t need another idiot pro-abortion justice....we have Kagan, Sotomayer, and Ginsberg now. No one with even average intelligence would nominate an ultraliberal to replace the most conservative member of the court....PATHETIC
I’d like turtle to go nucclrar on everything even the budget. Yes it’s risky but if trump gets everything he wants, we don’t have to worry about a democratic president or senate.
A SCOTUS judge appointed by one president can be unappointed by another president.
If you don’t follow proper procedure and take the easy way, then you lose in the long run.
Stupid bastards can’t learn anything.
Bull. Consent of the governed. The current make up of the Senate was in reaction to Obama's BS. And so is the next President.
I laugh at the ongoing idiocy of these LIB idiots. Bwahahahahahahahaha!
Actually, their not bringing it up for a vote is all the advise and consent needed. He's been rejected and Obama has put forth no one else.
