The Republicans aren't going to consent to an Obama nominee. These things take months....

As far as taking cases....what you're saying is Not how the court works....Geez....

RIP

Obama will select Van Jones, Cass Sunstein or David Hayes to succeed Scalia.

GOP should not approve anyone until Obama is gone.

But you just know he’ll try to push it with a nominee this month. Then 11 months is a long time for the GOPe squishes to hold out on anything from Obama.

Get into the gun stocks. VSTO, RGR, SWHC, OLN, JOUT. Might as well make some money before the fight.

The Senate can, and should refuse to hold hearings on any nominee the President sends over. If they hold committee hearings, they can refuse to hold a vote to move the nomination to the floor.

Ted Cruz should address this tonight, and it can be a point of focus in the election. Not just this seat, but so many more could come open in the span of the next Presidential term... It would be horrific to have Hillary Clinton selecting nominees. The problem is that, in a scenario in which she could win, it is likely that the Senate would tip as well.

This makes the gravity of the campaign, both for the nomination and the general, very real.

Cruz strongly backed Roberts.

Who exactly didn’t back Roberts. Trump backs his pro partial birth abortion sister, said she’d make a “GREAT” USSC justice.

Republicans could delay it till next year, but the lure of getting an Amnesty loving Judge in will be to much for the Grubby Money loving Traitors.

Rubio, Cruz, Sessions, Lee and Paul will have NO CHOICE but to get back to D.C. and hold the line on this.

This is when these people earn their pay. Because losing on this is not an option.

Obama

“Ok, when I’m done with this cigarette, I’m going to need my chief of staff to produce for me a list of gay black muslims that I can appoint to the Supreme Court”

Cruz pushed for two other much more conservative judges, but reluctantly supported Bush’s selection. Cruz has said on a number of occasions that it was a mistake to do so.

“CRUZ”

Only makes sense now. Either as POTUS or SCOTUS.

Yes I did.

She predicted there would be an opening on the Supreme Court, and now there is.

If the shoe were on the other foot, it would be dead certain that the Rats would delay it until next year. There are too many spineless Republicans for me to be confident they’ll delay that long.

The establishment can’t stop Trump, they’re catching onto that. They’re losing their grasp on absolute power and all bets are off.

They will gladly cooperate with Obama to get a lib in there, take our guns, and finally shut us the hell up. Just watch.
