I think it depends on who was responsible for killing Scalia. I don’t think I have ever been able to sleep with my pillow over my head. Under, yes. above,yes. to one side or the other, yes.
Everyone thinks they can make this really intricate, but that’s not going to happen.
What will happen is, Obama will make and appointment and the Senate will either confirm or not.
That’s it. NO way in hell does Obama let this crisis go to waste.
So I have two questions:
1. Does anyone SERIOUSLY BELIEVE that the Republicans will not confirm a nominee for Obama?
2. If you believe that, what are the precedents you can cite where Republicans ever stood up to Obama on anything of any importance? And if they are inclined to, why didn't they do it on the budget/debt?
Yes we can!
Si se puedo!
Have people forgotten the term “Borked?”

Only a matter of time and Trump won’t bother going through Congress
He has the army
To hell with the political process.
“Nope, they can actually reduce the number of members of the supreme court before then.”
That’s correct, read this:

As I read it The Congress could reduce the number of justices immediately with the reductions to take place as current members left or died. So the Republicans could reduce the court to eight members ( or less) and Obola would not be able to nominate anyone who would by their approval cause the court to exceed the legally set number under the new Act of Congress changing the number.
—>Congress the power to decide how many seats there are on the Supreme Court<—

Yes, and the president has the power to veto that proposal.
As much as I cannot stand Mitch I do not think for one minute he will let this get away from him.
Then he continued by saying, "However if the president asks, John McCain and I will work to grant him this effort to create a legacy of leftist judicial activism as we did with Elena Kagan and Sonya Sotomayor!"< /sarc >
How's it feel, bitch? The leader of your party has trampled all over the Constitution since he was elected and NOW you're getting pissy about it?
For one time in his life, I hope McConnell does the right thing! But there is going to be so much pressure on him, he will probably fold!
Very strange hearing a Democrat complain about dishonoring the Constitution.
I agree!
If Obama and the Dems.. and the turncoat Reps allow this Kenyan imposter to determine the fate of our country for decades to come...’
It is pitchforks and torches time.....
I have never posted words like that..... We have strength in numbers.
Yes!!! Thank you! I knew a smart Freeper would come up with something! ðŸ˜
Yep, whatever Obama wants they can’t kneel fast enough for “Supreme court Justice Eric Holder? Yes sir yes sir, capital idea! Whatever you say sir!”
Hey maybe he committed suicide by suffocating himself with the pillow.
Thankfully we hold the senate. That’s our only chance of keeping another libtard out.
