Could Justice Antonin Scalia’s Death Lead to a Constitutional Crisis?

Where can I place a bet that Obama gets a nominee confirmed by the Senate well before even November? Probably by summer.

With McCain, Graham and the rest of the RINO's patting each other on the back, smiling proudly and saying whatever far-left minority (probably homosexual) freakshow Obama nominated to the court is a "brilliant jurist" and will be a "great addition to the court."

I would like to think the Republicans will hold firm, but who are we kidding? Just look at the debt negotiations last month where they gave Obama the farm and more. The first time the New York Times or the Washington Post has an editorial calling them racists for not giving Obama's nominee a swift confirmation they will be panting and falling all over themselves to confirm that individual.

You know the Supreme Court is a fraud when people have to worry about which party gets to nominate the next justice. It’s time to shut that sewer down.

Could Justice Antonin Scalia's Death Lead to a Constitutional Crisis?

I wish my short term memory were as good as my long term memory...

A Freeper recently observed that certain election-related events we almost a foregone conclusion, unless a sudden unforeseen event happened in the next month or two. A Black Swan, so to speak.

Do any other Freepers remember who that Freeper is?

We are staring a real live Black Swan in the beak.

And the UnConstitutional American Muslim African is wasting no time in threatening additional UnConstitutional crimes.

Time for a discussion...

The only crisis is in some liberal writer’s diaper.

We’re in the middle of a Constitutional Crisis.

One that is going to be aggravated by the death of Scalia.

So I can tell you now, at this very moment, the DNC is doubling the dollars to go after weak GOP Senators

And I can tell you that the citizens who reject incumbent elected criminals of all parties will redouble their efforts to after the GOPe who still haven't gotten the message.

Our lists are certain to overlap...

He got smacked down by the Supreme Court who ruled that the recess appointments were unconstitutional and the Senate decides if they are in session or not, not the president.

Awwww...
I feel so sorry for Hussein.
Every time he gets slapped down I feel so bad! I feel so bad for the Jarrrett and the First Wookie, too!

I only hope they do!!!

We should not fear Obama suggesting a replacement.

We should only fear the GOP going along with it.

They want to lose the senate
