After Roberts is confirmed as CJ there will be vacancy on the Court.
O'Connor's retirement only becomes effective once her successor is confirmed by the Senate.
Bush could not name a recess appointment unless O'Connor agreed to step down.
Not trying to brag or anything, but I have a Bachelor's Degree and 2 Master's Degrees and it is amazing to me the amount of practical information I have learned from FR!!
The GOP will succumb as they ALWAYS have ("Centrists" O'Connor, Souter, Kennedy, etal.)...
But IMO they have had their SC dictates from the New World Order for years now since a staunchly sovereign, conservative America will not do the bidding of the "World."
We shall NOT be getting that Scalia or Thomas justice we were duped into believing would be appointed.
Yes, you are right. I went back and re-read the section in the Constitution concerning recess appointments and my earlier post was incorrect. Thanks.
JFK used a recess appointment to the SCOTUS and it stood. Ergo, you really need to do some research on this and refrain from posting about things you do do not know anything about.
But then your tinfoil appears to be far too tightly wrapped, thus having cut off the blood supply to your now atrophied brain, for many years.
BTW...Reagan nominated O'Connor, which would make him a puppet of the NWO, which you asininely imagine has any control over anything and everything.
If you go back and re-read earlier posts you will see that my error was pointed out and acknowledged. Thank you for your comment.
I finally did come across it, as I read through the thread. Sorry; late to the party, was I.
The Democrat party is in its death throes; only another war could save it.
No problemo. I honestly thought that recess appointments applied only to the executive branch. But after the first person pointed out my error I went back and re-read the part of the Constitition that deals with recess appointments and it clearly states "all vacancies." One of the things I enjoy the most about FR is the opportunity to learn something new.
The great thing about FR is, that there is always at least two ( usually a whole lot more ) people who know a topic cold here. It's amazing how much everyone can learn by reading threads. :-)
Try sticking these GOP appointed Justices in your pipe and smoking IT:
Earl Warren, Liberal (Eisenhower-R)
John Paul Stevens, Liberal (Ford-R)
Sandra Day O'Connor, pseudo-Liberal (Reagan-R)
Anthony Kennedy, pseudo-Liberal (Reagan-R)
Davis Souter, Liberal (Bush-R)
Can you imagine the strides made in conservatism if ALL GOP appointments were actually conservative?
But I digress -- I'd briefly forgotten you live on a planet in a far, far galaxy.
"BTW...Reagan nominated O'Connor, which would make him a puppet of the NWO, which you asininely imagine has any control over anything and everything."
A) Reagan was advised whom to choose as his appointments -- and naively trusted those "opinions" of his aides
B) Maybe you've got a better explanation as to WHY the GOP has opted to "balance" the political ideology of the SC with centrists and liberals -- rather than choose strict conservatives?
Ask yourself: Does a more moral, economically independent, conservative, and sovereign America help OR hinder the plans for an internationalist-dominated NWO?
Btw, have you EVER seen Democratic Presidents choose centrists OR conservative justices?
