Obama Has Rare Parliamentary Window To Make Recess Appointment To Succeed Scalia

And the evidence destroyed

Story is confusing. Link says autopsy according to TX law but story says embalmed. Doesn’t seem like there was one.

[Ray76]

Marshals were not at the resort in Texas where he died, but were called there after the fact, a law enforcement source told CNN. Marshalls help supplement security for traveling justices.

Why weren't Marshalls protecting Scalia?

[glasseye]

I feel gut shot.
Those who voted for obama are just horrid people.
First time in my life I fear the future.
This will not end well.

[Ray76]

Marshalls not protecting Scalia, they were not even at the ranch.

Pronounced dead over the phone.

No autopsy, in apparent violation of law.

Rushed embalming.

[Eagles6]

Looks that way. Nothing to see here, move along.

America is officially a Third World country.

That's the same sort of over-the-top paranoia the left had about W. He'll suspend the constitution and cancel the election. Do we really have a uni-opposition to go with the uni-party?

Yes, Obama is pushing Carter aside as the worst president in living memory, but he's not insane and such a crass move would be beyond the pale and everyone knows it. The constitutional process for filling a SCOTUS vacancy will be followed here.

[Windflier]

The Senate is in adjournment, not recess, and is having pro-forma sessions. No recess appointments can be made.

Thank you. I hope that sticks, and that Obama doesn't try to weasel a recess appointment in anyway.

[Kegger]

There are no pro forma sessions because the House agreed to the resolution.

I believe I said that the President CAN make a recess appointment, just not likely. Am I missing your point?

[RummyChick]

You quoted it in the post. I was just clarifying for people who don’t understand.

Thanks for the clinical diagnosis.

If this article is correct, it creates a scenario that actually is constitutional. I guess, unlike you, I have paid attention to Obama’s actions and believe he is capable of absolutely anything. I am pretty sure any mental health professional would conclude I am not paranoid.
