DONT PANIC ALL IS NOT LOST--YET
2/13/2016 | Windhover

It has been confirmed that Judge Scalia is dead in his room at a Texas resort. No eulogy, but the man will far more than deeply missed as a soldier holding the line for our Constitution.

Suddenly this election has become much more complicated and more important than even the most pessimistic among us had realized. We must use this election as a final and clearest of statements to the US Senate that will confirm Obama's next(and rapid) appointment to the Supreme Court; that THEY MUST NOT ACT TO CONFIRM Scalia's successor, UNTIL this election is over!!

We must come together now, no matter what candidate we support and FLOOD every senator's switchboard and mail box.

Contact every conservative network in your grass roots, be it Libertarian, Church,Legal Bureau, and,yes- Prayer Chain you know of.

IF, IF this Republican Senate will not find the guts to do this much, we must make them understand CLEARLY that they will from that moment ceased to exist, as a political party.

We dont even need to think of the Crap that Obama could push through the Court if they cave and betray this time.

That he was. So you’re blaming Cruz for GW’s appointment and the Senate’s confirmation on Cruz?

Part of the senate will be running for re-election. They will probably want to push this off.

There is no precedent for confirming a Supreme Court Justice during a President’s lame duck year. George Washington nominated a few who got confirmed in his last year in office, as did Andrew Jackson (the last time it happened). He had 2 justices confirmed in the Spring of 1836 (1 was Roger B. Taney) and 1 confirmed 2 months after he left office, but since his successor Martin Van Buren was also a Democrat, I’m guessing Van Buren had no objection.

Looks like Mitch McConnell finally grew a pair. Fox News says McConnell says the vacancy should not be filled until the next presidency.

FNC reading McConnell statement saying Scalia replacement should not be filled until new president is elected. Of course, putting out a statement and what he actually does are two very different things.

“The GOP will roll over for Baraq. Again.”

The gobbler, along with Ryan will probably hold a press conference stating that they will not oppose any of the imposers nominations...we’re screwed!.

It’s a nice dream, but in the real world the GOP Senate will confirm the first person The Usurper nominates.

What makes you so sure he wouldn’t get any confirmation if he reneged on the deal?

At this point we have no choice but to take Trump up on his word, what’s the alternative, if not Cruz?

Yes, I believe Cruz recommended him to Bush. And the Texas Tribune reported that Cruz was an outspoken advocate for Robert's confirmation.

Ted Cruz is bashing John Roberts after years of praising him

And while it is good that Cruz changed his mind, it speaks to is ability to judge people.

Hillary “suspends” her campaign. Appointed to the SC by the kenyan.

I, too, was in favor of Robert’s appointment at the time. He didn’t turn out to be the consummate conservative most people thought he was. Cruz is no more responsible for Roberts confirmation than I am. It is as simple as that.
