You would think so on its face, but the SCOTUS Blog assessment isn't to be ignored. I'd have to think that if he were to try this stunt, he's going 'All In' on trying to destroy the Republic before leaving office... setting up his final legacy bit with somebody who would be intent on championing his agenda for the next 20-30 years (she's 56).
Obama would also know that this is a longshot on its face, so all possible skeletons would be pulled out of all closets in an attempt to force Lynch into the chair. This could even include throwing Hillary under the bus with an indictment to show just how 'even-handed' Lynch would be on the SCOTUS bench.
Don't underestimate this. It will get very ugly here.
Well, we still have a fillibuster threat by Sen. Cruz.. Hopefully we can get a couple more senators to step up to the plate as well to block any nomination until after the election.
What really bugs me is we have liberal, moderate, conservative judges....I thought regardless they were to be objective. This at the get go is not objective one single bit.
The constitution is to be read and upheld literally. If it ain’t in there...it’s a no go. But who am I?
