This phony American already has Congress eating out of his hand and now he will have the highest court in the land voting for whatever he wants. It's a no lose situation for Barry and we can be certain he will use it to his advantage.
It's time for Congress to begin thinking about patriotism and block every damned thing this cretin tosses at them for the rubber stamp.
What America doesn't need is another lesbian on the court, or another America-hating clone.
Who accompanied the Justice on this hunting trip? We need all the facts.
Not if the Republicans refuse to accept them. Can they not stall until the usurper is out of the WH and it’s been fumigated?
If O puts one in, I guess it’s war.
That would be true if the nominee Obama submits is confirmed. We should be ensuring our Senate does not confirm ANY nominee he submits, period. It isn’t a year; it is 9 or 10 months to the new Administration. This Muslim must not be allowed to pollute our court any further.
When the Constitution was written, life expectancy was 50. With today’s life expectancy being 80, appointments to the SCOTUS should be limited to no more than 20 years on the bench. That would limit the amount of damage that a president like Obama can do in appointing someone in their 40s to carry out an agenda for 40 years after that president is gone.
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.
Stall for just a few months ... by summer everyone can say it’s too close to the election
Stall and do nothing. Obama only gets to nominate.
Due to Scalia’s sad death, a fourth of the Supreme Court has been appointed by the communist usurper. If that number moves to one third, it’s due to betrayal by Mitch McConnell, supported by at least a few treasonous republicans in the US Senate.
Barry is going into overdrive his last year, knock off the judge now he will go after the 2nd amendment. No surprise there, we all expected this. Next he will be raining Islamo Nazis down upon us in the disguise of “refugees”, then mass rapes with inability to defend because the guns are gone.
This is vital. Obama is going to nominate someone (who we know will be a leftist hack), probably young, so the damage will be incalculable throughout decades.
We must not let this happen. I realize the primaries are still going on, but we need to put that aside, at least temporarily, and focus on stopping Obama’s opportunism.
He will most likely nominate someone on Tuesday, and claim it’s an “extended recess appointment”, and in so saying a Senate confirmation will not be required. This is the nightmare scenario but he has proven, time and time again, to do the most radical, un-Constitutional things in support of his leftist agenda. We know this; so it’s not unreasonable at all to believe he will do so here.
We must therefore be prepared for this eventuality and harass the Senate with a blitzkrieg of e-mails and phone calls. We can’t let this happen, we just can’t. This is bigger than the election right now. This is bigger than “our” candidate (whomever that might be, either Trump or Cruz).
We must focus or the election is meaningless, whomever wins the nomination. Obama is going to use every tactic to get his nomination through. He’s been salivating at the chance to finally tilt the court, and now he has the opportunity. There is no time for Cruz/Trump fights. It’s time to focus on defending what we can, now, or the election is meaningless.
Be prepared to start harassing your Senators! Stop Obama!

Turtle Boy has already went on record, if he backs down it will be one of he biggest political capitulations of our time, up there with "No New Taxes"
Flame me all you want but I will say it loud and clear.
The Supreme Court opening is the biggest reason not to elect Trump. Who Knows where he stands on a lot of issues. He could screw things up worse than they are already.
RIP Justice Scalia. You were a brave and honorable man. You are not easy to replace.
NOW is it worth impeaching him! NOW?
That is a frightening thought. Obama has already placed two unqualified anti-Constitutionalists on the court. With as much damage as the Supreme Court has already caused, we don’t need another anti-Constitutionalist who will rubber-stamp anything that advances a socialist agenda.
Is there a mechanism for removing justices who do not uphold the Constitution? If so, isn’t it time to exercise it?
One of? Please inform us of the President who was worse than this guy, he doesn't exist. Hands down, no argument, Barry is THE worst of all time. He is the first black President and the worst President. Leave it to the party of the KKK and the socialist holocaust to smash down yet again the pride of the black community, this was absolutely deliberate on their part, they deliberately picked the worst possible candidate just like they are doing now.
If the Republicans gain the White House and control both houses of Congress and that Bastard in the Oval Office sneaks in a recess appointment in early January 2017, they can and should “pack” SCOTUS with more than 9 justices to control the Court. Nothing in the Constitution about the number of justices in the Court.
Congress should expedite a vote on Obama’s supreme court pick like Hillary has expedited release of her emails.
