I wish that phony hypocrite Commie would stop pretending to care and stop pretending to be a decent human being.

So you’re worried about a recess appointment blitz — a flurry of rulings before the senate can fly back.
McConnell might be on the phone now planning it out with O.

What a loss. About as good a constitutionalist as our supreme court had in some time.

Was listening yesterday while on my tractor when this came in.
Newscasters were saying Congress normally do not filibuster SC nominees, it was just not tradition.
I say BS, we need to start campaign now to get the GOP a$$wipes on board to stop any one that ObucketOcrap puts forward

‘LONGEST SUPREME COURT VACANCY. 2 years, 3 months, and 18 days.’
If Cruz or Sessions were the majority leader, we’d be fine.
But who do we have? McConnell.

We NEED ...
term limits for supreme court justices.
~~~ Liberty Amendments ~~~
It’s insane to worry so much about aging scholars’ health.
But here we are. Freedom has become so very fragile.
We will all miss Scalia. But no patriot should have such a burden crushing his shoulders. It’s insane.

Did you know that they would have attempted a filibuster of any nominee not approved by the ABA?
The American Bar Association — they are incredibly liberal. I had a chance [as a TV caller on NET] to ask an ABA president a question. He told me with a smirk on his face that Clinton was the best president our nation ever had. That’s how partizan they are.
‘Newscasters were saying Congress normally do not filibuster SC nominees ...’
Remember the Bork hearings? Clarence Thomas was no picknic either. Alito’s wife ran out sobbing during his inquision, but they lucked out.

If the Senate holds the line on this one thing, it will justify all of the expense, effort, and sacrifice we put in to elect Republicans. If, OTOH, they buckle, they're beneath contempt.

RIP. He was a great man and won’t be forgotten. This country owes him a lot.
Condolences to his family on their loss. My dad died unexpectedly at 79 also, less than 4 years ago. It is too young, and hard because you can’t say goodbye, but at least he had no disabilities and was a strong and vital man until the end. This is how he would have wanted to be remembered, and ultimately the family will be less unhappy that he went this way.
On a political note: the Republicans in the Senate had BETTER do nothing with any nominated replacement. Obama CANNOT be allowed to swing the balance in the Court!

Here is an image of Cibolo Creek Ranch resort, TX where Justice Scalia passed away. Really remote location where Justice Scalia passed away. About 200 Miles S.E. of El Paso, 30 mi S of Marta. There is an airstrip a mile or two to the East across Hwy 67.
