Well we will see.
Maybe we do something like Ted Kennedy did when he made that half assed speech how in Robert Bork’s America, blacks would go the back of the bus, people would be hauled off in midnight raids and other such horse blank. Just have to update it to proclaim how this new obama appointed justice would force feed liberalism on us all.
Well it would take an act of Congress to increase the size of the Supreme Court. A new president can’t just appoint an unlimited number of justices.
He’s probably saying this to thwart an early resumption of the Senate. The man lies. He lies so much he lies about his lies.
NOT to be trusted.
I hate it when the commie libs wrap themselves in the U.S. Constitution WHEN IT SUITS THEIR NEEDS. The rest of the time, it’s just “an old, obsolete piece of paper written by a bunch of old, white European guys”.
This will be used as a wedge issue. The Dems have 2 terrible candidates. Thier only hope is turnout. They will drag this out until November of the GOP’s spine crumbles.
It’s a trap.
I note that they specifically called out the adjournment as a recess.
If the Senate does not reconvene this week, I get the impression the administration will actually attempt a recess appointment.
All this administration does is lie - so I won’t hold my breath as to the veracity of this report.
Why would he do an appointment now. Just wait till Ginsberg croaks and get a twofer.
Simply means just the opposite of what the commie scumbag is saying. Rope a dope redux.
He’ll say this now, and then do it blaming it on us.
Trickery.
He wasn’t to look like the injured party.
I completely disagree.
There is an important immigration case coming up. It can’t go Obama’s way..and it will if he gets a SCOTUS on the court
Nah, an LOL will suffice ;)
Of course, the White House knows that the Senate is not in Recess. The Senate stands in adjournment as is clearly laid out in the Congressional Record.
The White House statement is political theater, believing that most people are too ignorant to discern the difference. They want us to buy into the false notion that the White House would never try a dirty trick to replace Justice Scalia. They would, and they will if they have an opportunity.
They are in recess. House agreed to it.
Maybe they should just stay in recess until November.
On the other hand a 4-4 per curiam decision leaves the case as it arrived at SCOTUS, unchanged.
Alternatively, his calculus may see a 5-3 decision in favor of the administration...if he can find those other video tapes.
It will go a lot better if this is true and not just yet another LIE from O and Company
you can tell when he’s lying...its anytime his lips move
Here is the question for politicians to consider...although it would do no good with Paul Ryan as Speaker
Paul Ryan could reconvene. He only has to consult with Minority not get approval.
So if they reconvened..what would that do to the Senate resolution since it was contingent on House approval? Would it turn into pro forma sessions etc?
Have you and your so called friend LOST YOUR MINDS!
You want a radical appointed by a Ametican Hating Muslim to decide his Illegal Amnesty Act and other key Decisions in the docket this year !
Who are you trying to Fool !
I want the court split until after the election !
