A new Senate will be seated January 3. Obama is in office till January 20. If the Dems take back the Senate Obama’s appointment will be seated.
Where is 9 justices enumerated in the Constitution? SCOTUS started out with 6. An even number intentionally so when there was a tie the decision would default back closer to the people and the lower court decision.
“A new Senate will be seated January 3. Obama is in office till January 20. If the Dems take back the Senate Obama’s appointment will be seated.”
This should, therefore, be a HUGE incentive for ALL opposed to the Left in this country to go to the polls in November. Those who will stay home in a huff because their preferred candidate wasn’t the nominee for President will - as usual - force the rest of us to live by the results of their own selfishness. That’s one thing that I’ve got to hand to the Dems - at least they understand that politics is a team sport, and they mostly come out and vote even if they don’t much like the person at the top of the ticket. We should learn from that.
