No hearings
Scalia deserves AT LEAST that, and God help any republican who votes against our wishes. they’ll never hold office again.
Talk about your nightmare monsters...
Has there ever been a filibuster of a Supreme Court nominee?
I’m guessing not because Thomas was confirmed in a close 52-48,vote, and Alito was confirmed by only 58-42. Based on these votes, the Democrats could have upheld filibusters if they had chosen to do so..
Just a reminder, Cruz voted for cloture on TPA/Fast Track. Not like we have any leverage there.
McConnel just stated there will be NO appointment to the court by Obama.
Zero, none
My guess is that they will put on some sort of false opposition show, and then confirm an Obama selection, and the reason that they will do this is because they are liberals, and they do not oppose a liberal nominee to the court.
If there is some solid method that can use to block it, they will suspend that method or not use it, and rather pass some phony method that allows them to pretend to oppose it, and they will lose that pretend opposition i.e. something similar to the Corker Bill.
What it boils down to is that they will find a way to convince us that they oppose it, but can’t stop it, and it will happen.
BTTT!
Obama will pick a young black female nominee, and the Republicans will be afraid to stop it because they don’t want to be called racists and because of the Democrat mantra of “the Republican war on women.”
Do you know what happens when the senate adjourns on Jan third 2017 & Obama is still in office for 17 more days ?
Anyone who doesn’t think Obama will do everything possible to put a liberal in this seat hasn’t been paying attention.
Just 40 good men Lord, spare us!
Its time to permanently neutralize this lawless bunch of degenerates who call themselves the Supreme Court.
NO SENATE VOTE ON ANY nomination by the communist ANIMAL in the White House, then 7 new appointees by Trump bringing the number to 15, thereby taking this current menagerie of homosexuals,eggheads, marxists and blackmail victims out of any position to stop a hard right agenda to make this country great again.
This is an opportunity from GOD.
The war on this least important branch of government who has assumed unconstitutional and dictatorial powers and is complicit in the degeneration of the United States has begun.
I guess Harry Reid is still making the Senate rules, McConnell hasnt changed a thing.
Like the rules matter any more to the denizens of DC.
watch for Corker and CanuckTed will take care of that cloture thing...again.
39 will cave in 3, 2, ...
Repubs will cave like a cheap suitcase.
