Remember, Breitbart died of natural causes too.

He gets everything he wants. Until obama steps to mic and says “I will let next POTUS do it”, I will not believe it.

My apologies. I follow Twitter, and it goes at the speed of lightning.

Not a problem, I mistakenly thought it was your comment,

In any case, if there was ever a time for the FR Cruz-Trumpet hatchet to be buried for awhile is now.

Too much at stake.

Republicans MUST do everything, including a government shutdown, to stop an Obama nominee. If they do not the Republican party MUST be replaced and all former office holders under that part banished from ever being a member of the new party. NO EXCEPTIONS!

I had the same thought, sadly.

If Ginsberg dies or leaves the court soon, the pressure will be on to nominate and confirm at least one justice.

This is also worrisome.

Not withstanding all of this, I'm feeling terrible discussing a replacement for Justice Scalia when he has just passed this this morning!

Don't we need to make sure wew still have control of the Senate after Elections? Aren't we supposed to lose the Senate during Elections?

If we lose the Senate but win the White House, there is just over a two-week period before the new President takes office. I guess it is possible for Obama to push through a nominee as a last effort, but the Dems would have to have an overwhelming victory to be able to get around Pub procedural delays.

“Will the GOP even stand up THAT much?!”

About as much as they stood up to Planned Parenthood.

Maybe this will be Debbie Wasserman Shultz’s new job, I’m sure the repubs will agree to that (after some hand wringing and of course fund raising).

Or maybe Obama just appoints Hillary... can he appoint himself?

He said should not be filled. Not the same as will not. I do not trust him.

null and void ~ Even money says he appoints Hillary.

combat_boots ~ Who, boy. Motive.

The exact same motive obama has for everything he does. The destruction of these United States.

Am I the only one on the planet who finds this SUSPICIOUS?!?!?

Sorry, but I see a strong possibility that Scalia may have been secretly assassinated by a certain high-up individual in our government.......he was just too healthy.........

HELLO??????????

“It’s really been over for some time now. When most of our people decided to reject our founding principles, our religion, and our history, it was over. The revolution has already happened.”

Sad but true. Our once great country lost it’s soul in less than a generation. The moral chaos that has emerged is symptomatic rather than causal.

It would be expected to replace a liberal with a liberal with Ginsberg.

But replacing a Conservative is a whole other kettle of fish. And the Rats know it. They aren’t stupid.

My question is why such a long time to announce his death. 8 or more hours?

Scalia was a guy that was a walking advertisement for a heart attack. He was out of shape and did not look like he watched his diet or got any exercise.

No conspiracy here, just a guy whose heart gave out.

The judge said nothing would probably be done until the next president is in.

Source?
