The GOP claimed in 2014 that if we gave them a majority, they would stop 0bama. It’s time to man up and do your job Mitch.

obams might appoint himself to the Supreme Court. Hillary said she’d consider appointing him if she were President. obams might consider it himself. He’s into selfies, self adoration, and he’ll need a job come January 2017. Then impeachment can solve all of his problems.

“Obama will announce a candidate. Republicans will delay. The Democrats will use that as proof the Republicans play politics with the judiciary, ignoring the fact that both sides do. And they will use it as a campaign issue”

Plenty of people left of center own guns and believe that open boarders have hurt jobs and wages. And that is what Republicans counter with, that is what is at stake if they put one of Odungas nominees on the Court.

A commie and a criminal running for President of the United States.. Congress, full of scared and weak human beings, won’t do its job... media who wants the destruction of this country so they can write about it... millions of undocumented illegals.... a dumbed down generation who believes in freebies.... workers who will pay for those freebies .... I don’t recognize my own country.

He could appoint a ham sandwich, but that wouldn’t be halal.

I kinda doubt the Boy King will be appointed to the Supreme Court. Not near enough pomp and ceremony. All banana republic rulers are heavy into pomp and ceremony, don’tcha know?
If he gets 3 appointees, that will give him five plus one swinger for anything he wants.
Including the gold braided cap, six stars on the epaulettes, purple sash and all the other trappings.

There’s a very good chance it’ll be more than a third. I have a feeling the snoozer, aka Ginsburg, will either decide to finally call it quits, or will be pressured by this Admin to fold ‘em so they can appoint another Justice who will be around another 20-30 years.

That remains to be seen, but if it happens every Republican Senator up for reelection in 2016 should lose their seat.

Anyone who is upset by the Republicans delaying the confirmation of a liberal Supreme Court “Justice” was not going to vote for a Republican anyway.

Completely agree.

He may very well appoint a black nominee to play the race card against anticipated Senate stalling.

This will rouse the rabble in an election year.

The good news is recess appointment path may offer little help. Obama does not determine when the Senate is “in recess”.

I think Ginsberg has already passed on.

The other ‘justices’ leave the chambers and she continues seated with her chin on her flat withered chest. They think she’s still napping, but are confused about the malodorous scent.

The two lesbians smell so bad Ginsberg’s odor is covered up.

The President nominates a candidate. The Legislature has to confirm. They don't have to confirm if they don't want to. And no one can “make” them confirm. Remember Bork? Will they bow down to the Emperor again? Probably. Very sad. And if they do bow down? Will their be any doubt that Republican and Democrat are the same party? And certainly NOT under God; under Hussein O.

Congress can change the number of justices on the Supreme Court without a Constitutional amendment. They did it several times in the 1800’s. Maybe it’s time they at least doubled the Court to 18. With more members, it wouldn’t be so dependent on one member to tip it this way or that.

I wouldn’t even schedule hearings until the Summer. That means NOBODY could even be seated until the fall, if then. If the Republicans can’t drag the hearings out into September then you know the fix is in.

The next congress gets sworn in January 2017, not 2019.

It’s sad to have to do this, but it would appear that, besides open rebellion, there’s not much else that can be done with this lesbian and communist tainted body.

Kennedy’s appointment was confirmed by the Senate in 1988.
