Jeb Bush: Obama Has 'Every Right' To Submit Nominee To Replace Scalia (RINO/GOPe Surrender Caucus)

Jeb Bush says it doesn't matter to him whether Senate Republicans vote on any Supreme Court nominee President Barack Obama may send to Capitol Hill to replace the late Justice Antonin Scalia.

Bush tells CNN's "State of the Union" that the decision is up to Majority Leader Mitch McConnell -- who's said there will be no such vote until Obama leaves office in January.

The Republican presidential candidate says "it's not important to me" whether there's a vote before then.

That sentiment isn't shared by Bush's Republican presidential rivals. Soon after Scalia's death, they were demanding that a prospective Obama nominee not get a vote.

Bush says Obama has "every right" to submit a nominee to the Senate. But the former Florida governor says he doesn't think Obama would nominate someone who's "in the mainstream."

Good visual-Columba is almost as short as the annoying little munchkin on that show was-Columba’s interest in being 1st lady is probably more about adding her Imelda Marcos starter kit of shoes than doing anything useful-she is rumored to be a price-no-object shopper of clothes, accessories and especially jewelry-a friend of mine who lives in Miami says she got Jeb in hot water over her shopping trips and spending when he was the gov...

This guy can't possibly be a serious candidate for President. I think he's just going through the motions now.

Obola certainly does have that right and doing so would surely be an “act of love”.But the Senate has an equally clear right to deliberate in any way it wishes on any nominee.

This is exactly the kind of goofy stuff that has him where he is in the standings for the Republican nomination. How stupid can he be that he would make a statement like that?

Jeb is right on this one. Obama has every right to nominate a justice...and the congress has every right to reject him.

Shut up, you woman-murdering scumbag.

He would have the right if he were legitimately president, and if he were not engaged in an attempt to destroy the United States.

The only thing he has a right to do is confess his crimes.
