The Senate doesn’t have to consent until Obama comes up with a decent judge. We’ll end up with a Sandra Day O’Connor only if we’re extremely lucky.
Questions to Mr. Daniel Clark.
Are you prohibited in any way on replying to posts, replied to your post?
Or do you just sit back and watch to see, what the response is to your article?
Are paid by hits on your posts at the websites you contribute to?
Or do you get ideas from replies to your post and use them in future articles?
Just wondered.
It was totally unsurprising that President Obama said that he would nominate a new justice.
It’s his and the Democrats political choice to do so, and also the Republicans’ political choice to say he shouldn’t and to work against any nominee.
Look how the Dems opposed Robert Bork.
Given the circumstances, Republicans have every right and duty to fight against any new justice that Obama would like to put on the Court.
And right off the bat, Republicans have a very good argument against anyone being nominated: that it is too much for the nation to tackle at the same time, giving that both the justice battle and the Presidential battle will be occurring at the same time.
Republicans also have a mandate to fight any Supreme Court nominee because this isn’t Obama merely replacing another liberal justice, but would involve the balance of the court possibly changing.
The left would fight this tooth and nail, along the lines of a battle cry of, “we have to do whatever it takes to stop the fascists from taking control of the Supreme Court!”
Obama could appoint Triumph the Insult Comic Dog, but the Senate should As Trump said, “Delay, Delay, Delay!”
Don't we know it! Every Republican Senator was elected to office and should obey his oath of office by rejecting anti-Consitutionalists every time one is nominated.
Hey Daniel, Alabama won again.
Obama Senate Supreme Court Nominees
â€As we all know, there's been a lot of discussion in the country about how the Senate should approach this confirmation process.
I disagree with this view.
I believe firmly that the Constitution calls for the Senate to advise and consent.’

If the Donald wins the nomination and if he wins the election which I doubt he will nominate his sister Judge Maryanne Trump Barry for the Supreme Court!! Blood is thicker than water and he doesn’t have any core principles..
“”Elections have consequences.” President Obama once said that, and yet it’s true. One might have hoped we’d all have learned it by now.”
Cry me a river. The elections for US Senate have consequences too.
Does the President appoint or simple recommend?
The Democrats have made a cottage industry of forcing Republican presidents to nominate liberal judges when they were in power. This whole discussion is a mute point. The president has to nominate a candidate that the Senate will confirm....period!!!
They need to be stopped from filling the seat, HOW it’s done doesn’t much matter to me.
