President Obama Explains Why He Must Appoint A New Justice (Or Else) - Live Feed
Zero Hedge ^ | 16 Feb 2016 | Tyler Durden

Posted on 02/16/2016 1:50:26 PM PST by amorphous

Due up at 1635ET, President Obama holds his first post-Scalia press conference. We assume the propaganda du jour will be the imminent need to appoint a new SCOTUS justice... and why anyone who blocks that plan is "peddling fiction." While he is up there, we assume some comments regarding the escalations in Syria will be discussed... and why Russia (and Putin most clearly) are to blame.

It’s chaired by Grassley and has Cruz, Sessions, and Lee among the republican members.

Will Clown Prince nobama announce that the young black woman (Rachel Jeantel) from the trayvon martin in FLA who testified and couldn’t read cursive will be his nominee? It would only be fair and just. If you disagree...you are a racist!

Corey Booker is making the rounds with his timely new book.

He was also on Fox'n Friends this morning.

I'm picking Booker for my guess, because as a Senate colleague, Booker would be the most difficult to reject and also the most difficult to refuse a hearing to him.

Thanks, I didn’t realize those were the members. Poor ol’ McConnell - I actually feel a bit sorry for what he’s about to face, and what things that may now be made public about him, if Obama doesn’t get his way.

Judge Neapolitan on Cavuto just reported that many on the Senate Judiciary committee would vote for the president’s nominee to get it out of the committee and to the Senate for debate

Loretta Lynch nomination is a trap for Obama. She can’t get confirmed. Particularly if the FBI refers a criminal indictment to Loretta Lynch.

Eric Holder is no better. That’s why you don’t ignore subpoenas and not uphold the rule of law I.E the IRS and the Gun running program.

In fact Eric Holder may be his first nominee as a sacrificial lamb.

Just flipped on the TV, Opos was speaking and headlines at the bottom said,’Obama says Trump will not be president’
He said THAT?? What brought that on? That Commie pos!

Well that sounds like a pretty good endorsement for Donald if Obama hates him so

Well he did answer it by saying that in the end Alito was confirmed.
This man is going to get any person he chooses just wait and see. He has gotten everything he has asked for even though in a sane world he should not have.

Listening on the radio.

You're a better man than I. I haven't listened to more than a couple of dozen words he has said since 2012. I don't watch TV so that's not an issue and when I hear his voice on the radio I immediately change the station.

I know what you mean. Watching the president of the United States telling lies, and with complete abandonment - knowing the MSM will never call him out on them, leaves a sick feeling in the pit of your stomach.

It’s odd that so many of us have that reaction to him, isn’t it? I had it the first time I ever heard him speak at the Dem convention. I’ve not heard his voice in years either- when I know he’s coming the radio or internet are muted or turned off.

It’s rare for me to react that way - I can listen to any other liberal talk except him- it’s visceral.

I usually change it too. But this time he was so angry that I was able to laugh at his frustration and neon-bright hypocrisy.
