Republicans control the Senate. There’s no way in hell they should confirm an Obama nominee, when the guy is in the final months of his autocracy.

If that turd can exceed the powers of his office with a number of unconstitutional executive actions, then the Senate Republicans are absolutely within their rights to use their plenary power to confirm or deny to nix ALL Obama judicial nominees, unless the guy goes nuts and nominates Richard Epstein or Randy Barnett or Ted Cruz.

He was near the border in the Marfa sector.

One of the worst sectors on the border for hyper violent gangs.

Not exactly a coincidence. Died in his sleep, but...Judge Hanen’s case is about to come before the court.

Want to bet?

I'm sure soetoro has a hard core leftist ready and the GOPe will do their duty and confirm.

You can kiss the 2nd Amendment goodbye.

I just posted this on the other thread.

It’s going to get really crazy.

Presidential nominations for both parties will be defined by WHO they support for the Court.

Those Court Nominees, even if suggested in passing, will become targets of for a level of scrutiny and vicious attacks that will make Justice Thomas feel blessed.

It’s going to get crazy nasty real fast.

Let’s hope it does not happen during 0bummer’s remaining days in office. If the those in the Senate put another dufus on the bench, especially younger than 60, it will be a very very long time before America recovers, if she ever does at this point. Just might be the time to move south, I here Texas might be a good place.

Graham, McCain, McConnell, Hatch and others will provide the votes for Obama to appoint whatever America hating leftist he wants.

If we had an opposition party they could refuse to even take it up.

And so marks this date as the death of this mighty republic.

The End. Just what I was thinking. I was hoping these old guys could hang on for the next president, but no.

The GOP better make a stand and not put anyone through until the next president. Enough Obama dykes.

Valerie Jarrett has two lined up and all she needed was for one to go. Of course it’s a conservative justice and not the 90 yo RBG. FUVJ
