Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia dead at 79

Are you that devoted to avoiding answering direct questions?

It's relevant because you said there is no time limit on approving nominees. I pointed out that just because something is Constitutional, that doesn't make it acceptable. As an example, I asked if you thought an eight-year blockade would be acceptable.

So please answer the direct, relevant question.

 

And then the Dem Senate in 2017 can confirm the liberal justice that Obama appoints on 1/3/17.

 

I am *devoted* to the topic not to answering a never ending stream of questions with zero point outside of thinking you can get an ahah moment.

/rolls eyes.

 

Cows roost....nice one there Mr. farmer........

Karma took Scalia out....Con Obstruction karma may also lose them the senate and the White House this year. 33% of the senate is up for election this year,,,,most are con seats.

If cons deny Obama's appointment, next year Bernie could appoint Shrillary...or....Shrillary could appoint Obama to the bench. NOW THAT IS SWEET KARMA!

 

Another example of leftists not being aware of history.

The Democrat controlled senate refused to confirm Reagan's first choice for that seat, Robert Bork. Kennedy was a compromise candidate, best shown by his being the current swing vote on the court.

If Obama nominates a moderate who isn't an outright leftist like Kagan or Sotomayor, Repubs would be wrong for not considering consent. But Obama will never do such a thing...

 

So you can have who Obama appoints, or you can have Shrill appointing Obama next year...or...Bernie appointing Shrill next year. Which would you rather?

 

You get the prise for catching the play on words...

We dont know yet, no autopsy report.

Reid denied Bush, the chickens have come back to the corral.

 

Given that Thomas always copied Fat Tony why stop now?

 

False choice.

 

If the voters elect a leftist loony such as Sanders, he can certainly nominate whatever kind of left wing nut job he likes. And if voters decide to elect a Republican-controlled senate, they can oppose anyone they dislike and refuse to confirm the wing nut.

This is how compromise, moderate justices are eventually selected...

 

Both you and I know it's more than possible. You and I both know this country doesn't want another Scalia. Hurtz doughnut, huh.

 

Again, we all know that this country doesn't want another Scalia....cons lose the White house. We also know that this country is fed up with con obstructionism....cons lose the senate.....most of the 33% of the senate up for election this year is con seats. Rutro.

 

And both you and I know there are other possibilities and yours was a false choice.

 

Just keep ignoring your karma and beat that dead horse....like 2008 and 2012..More hurtz doughnut.

 

Well, then, do you withdraw the "no time limit on confirmations" as a relevant argument?

Because you seem to want to make that argument, while refusing to acknowledge the ramifications of such an argument.

 

Perhaps this is true in leftist echo chambers such as the DU, HuffPo and Koz.

But in the real world, as shown by the Obama fatigue displayed in his favorability polls and the distrust of Hillary shown in others, this isn't the case. You should really oughta try to get out more.

Here, I fixed it for you...

 

Um ... Obama's approval rating is currently around 46% -- which is pretty darn high for this late in a second term.

So I'm not sure where you get the basis for your claim of " Obama fatigue".

 

If you recall honestly, you'll note that Kennedy was the third choice for the job, after that same senate refused to confirm the two previous nominees.

 

The Obama openly seeks to ban rifles, shotguns and handguns.
Further He supports an Aussie-style mandatory gun buy-back plan.
Aside from being the best firearms salesman this country has ever had, it is impossible to honestly argue that The Obama is anything but hostile to the right to keep and bear arms.

 

Interesting.
I've had three ConLaw professors, all with a JD and a PhD.
Two of them had no idea what they were talking about.
What's your experience?

Obama has every right to nominate whoever he wants for whichever position.
The senate has every right to deny confirmation for that nomination.

 

20th century democide, "the murder of any person or people by their government, including genocide, politicide and mass murder" killed far more than 100 million people. I'm not a religious person, but even if I was I wouldn't accept the idea that government power is an extension of God. Unless your god is a particularly brutal one.

 

The only presidents who have had lower approval ratings at this point in their final term is Truman, Carter, and both Bushes. Oh, and Nixon. Two of those were not reelected after their first term:

As I said, Obama fatigue...

 

The christians believe the bible is the word of god. And it explicitly states, any gov't on earth is a gov't given by God.

New International Version
Then Jesus came to them and said, "All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me.

This is a direct quote someone wrote from Jesus.


And another
Every person should place themselves under the authority of the government. There isn’t any authority unless it comes from God, and the authorities that are there have been put in place by God.

 

One of your first comments in the thread was about God working in mysterious ways. I was under the impression that you were one of these Christians. Not all of them agree with 100% of the Bible.

 

Yea, as long as it isn't obstruction that gets in the way of doing the business of the people. Then it becomes corruption. And since 2009 when the Republicans had their little private dinner party vowing to say no to everything the president proposed, their rights have been nothing more than an exercise in corruption. Congratulations! How many years do you think the American people are going to vote for corruption, just to paralyze the other party when it wins?
