Obama: Who Cares if I Filibustered Alito, Republicans Have to Vote on My SCOTUS Nominee

It was a convoluted incoherent statement.

There is no more arrogant *and* ignorant creature on planet Earth than Bathhouse Barry.

[MasterGunner01]

Wrong, Barry. The Republican Senate doesn't have to vote on anything you send to them for a SCOTUS nominee. There are 3 branches of government and they are co-equals. You don't give orders to the Senate, Barry. I'd thought a ‘constitutional scholar’ like you would know that.

[Senator Goldwater]

Delay, delay, delay.

Let’s make America great again.

[Logical me]

I have no faith in the Republicans delaying the nomination until the new President Trump. We have a few Senators that are really Democrats. America is finished.

[disndat]

When isn’t it.

"This is the Supreme Court--the highest court in our land," he said. "It is the one court where we would expect elected officials to rise above day-to-day politics, and this would be the opportunity for senators to do their job."

Fine. Nominate a conservative to replace a conservative and prove that you are above politics.

“There is no more arrogant *and* ignorant creature on planet Earth than Bathhouse Barry.”

Well, not in the Democrat Party, anyway.

[Fiddlstix]

STFU 0Bozo!

[tacticalogic]

"But, what is also true is, Justice Alito is on the bench right now. I think that, historically, if you look at it, regardless of what votes particular senators have taken, there's been a basic consensus, a basic understanding, that the Supreme Court's different."

After seven years of "fundamental transformation", and pissing on history and tradition he wants to drag it back out of the dumpster and parade it around now.

Obama’s chickens coming home to roost...

[A CA Guy]

Democrats blocked Judges from George W Bush the whole first four years of his eight year run, so what is ten months?

[longfellow]

This guy is a little bitch.

[Cyman]

Like every affirmative action law professor he got the obligations of the President and the Senate wrong

[NYRepublican72]

Bathouse Barry can appoint whomever he wants. That candidate just needs to get the full Bork treatment, followed by another candidate who likewise gets the Bork treatment until President Trump or Cruz takes over.

[napscoordinator]

The President is an idiot. Why is he screaming at Republicans when he hasn’t even mentioned a name yet. Do your job Mr. President before complaining. He is a weird guy.

[Steely Tom]

Democrats blocked Judges from George W Bush the whole first four years of his eight year run, so what is ten months?

That sure is my recollection.

There are two completely different sets of rules for the two parties.

Republicans in Washington accept this situation.
