No way. Just having to show and sit through oral arguments would cut into his golf game. Plus, he’d be stuck in D.C. 7 or 8 months of the year. Just not his bag.
“Well that arrogant pos occupant of 1600 Pennsylvania Ave obviously does think there is.”
And his dimwitted supporters now think so as well.
That would be indeed a nightmare. May God help this nation if this comes true
Or more likely have recess appointment after recess appointment. We could do away with the lifetime appointment by default.
All politics is cheap. This just happens to be nakedly so. What else do you expect? If Obama were to name someone relatively “moderate,” and the Senate were to confirm, that would alter the balance of the Court. If a Dem wins the presidency in November, same thing. This is the only shot there is: “delay, delay, delay,” and hope the GOP candidate prevails in November. Call it desperation, or cheap politics, but it’s the only game in town if you don’t want the make-up of the Court to change.
My moneys on by the end of the month.
Apparently from that pic, liberals can’t even look into a camera.
The thought of it is still scary, and I wouldn’t put it past him.
Is there any requirement that the number should be nine?
Exactly
If our children were truly being educated-—I would agree. And so it has to be——but the real crime in all of this, is the fact that a mind like Scalia’s is so unique and “rare” today, and we have a VAST majority of young “socialists”, ideologues, who actually believe that slavery and sodomy is “good”.
That flip of 2000 years of worldview is because of the destruction of our “education” system by the Marxist, Fabian, Humanist takeover in the 30s-—where they have literally programmed and indoctrinated millions of children through Leftist irrational curricula, for their goose-stepping takeover of our Constitution and churches.
If we can’t put back on court a man like Scalia, then we are doomed and you can kiss our Constitution “good-bye” because people like Justice John Roberts are bought and paid for by the sodomite, psychopaths like Kissinger and Soros and the super elite bankers, who control all the money and all our institutions anyhow. They create and fund and make billions on all the wars they create and drool over—including the killing and massacre of the young virile males, and women and children. The paychopaths revel, like Merkel, in the chaos and misery they force on good, Christian, happy people-—even tribal cultures, although those are so much easier to destroy and control and pervert, so the “glory” is in the demise of Christian cultures.
Actually, the Leftists have the majority of the Court now, with the Marxist Kagan nomination-—so I guess we are doomed anyhow, since they can create any unconstitutional, irrational “Just Law” they want now, (as they did—totally antithetical to the Constitution) and there is NOTHING we can do about it, without a blood-filled Revolution.
Just by law. It's been as low as six and as high as ten.
Remove Kagan and turn it back to seven.
I don't see Obama going off into a quiet retirement like Bush did. But I don't think we have to worry about him running the UN or on the Supreme Court. The only former president to be appointed to the court was William Howard Taft and that was the job he had wanted all his life, far more than the presidency.
ANY nominee 0dunga puts forth should be interrogated by Congress Republicans and put to the 'Constitution test' in the most strict terms. Start by putting the race and gender factors aside and target their TREASONOUS IDEOLOGIES and expose their HATRED for America and our Constitution.
Behind the soft, articulate manner of Loretta Lynch hides a BIASED RACIST POLITICAL ACTIVIST who is UNABLE to interpret our Constitution and apply the law WITHOUT BIAS.
You said it.
I don’t think he would ever be in the minority.
The other four Libs would follow him in lockstep.
There is no constitutional requirement as to the number of justices.
We started with 6. The number fluctuated over the years, rising to as many as 10 and finally settling at 9.
Maybe we should set the number back to 7 and let attrition take the number down.
Maybe we should wait until a true conservative take charge in the White House and raise the number to 11.
