Justice Scalia is deD

[Mobilemannie]

Didn't Hillary say she would appoint Obama to Supreme Court if elected?

Republicans better appoint whoever Obama selects or they run the risk of seeing him on Supreme Court for the next 30 years.

The Republicans will try not hold a hearing until after the elections.

 

[Spectrum]

Yeah. I'm interested to see him go multi-dimensional on these muthafuckas.

 

[Spectrum]

We already have! By voting Obama in by a majority...twice!

Obama should chose someone...and sue his ass for not following whats laid out in the constitution.

THIS

 

[knightmelodic]

Another reason why we can not let a repug get in the whitey house. Stop all this voting don't matter shit and get Hil in there. Yeah, I know but do you really want a jew instead?

President Sanders appoints Barack Obama to replace Scalia, Senator Clinton to replace Ginsburg




The heads that would explode

Yoooo this is entirely possible

Anyone know anything about the state of ole' Uncle Clarence's health?

 

[Kubrick]

The stakes in the election just went up 10 fold. Candidates are going to throw out names they would elect to replace Scalia. Obama and the Dem candidate will be able to hammer the Repubs on Obstruction which could affect the downstream ticket.

Interesting times ahead.

 

[mozartte]

Just when you thought things could not get any crazier in this country. The REpubs will surely try to block but they cant hold the supreme court in limbo for shy of a year. This will bring people out in drove to the election. This is a game changer.

He is going to leave the court so he can mourn by Scalia's grave 24/7

Thomas is next

This is big news.....its time to take the majority back in the supreme court.

Puppy Monkey Baby on these bitches!!!

Peace,

I wonder though... strategically, what can he do to make them hurt or force their hand (outside of saying loudly everyday that people need to vote in huge numbers so that a non-conservative wins in Nov)?

Obama has a chance to really fuck the GOP with this if he plays it correctly. People on here are always talking about Chess, but this is a real check type of moment where you can make the GOP sacrifice a major piece just to keep playing the game.

Google-Faced McConnell is already plotting!


McConnell: Senate should not confirm Scalia's replacement until after election

Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell said the Senate should not confirm a replacement for Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia until after the 2016 election.

“The American people should have a voice in the selection of their next Supreme Court Justice. Therefore, this vacancy should not be filled until we have a new President,” the GOP leader said in a stateme

Story Continued
The statement from the Kentucky senator came a mere hour after the news of the conservative justice’s death was reported by major news outlets, belying his usual cautious nature and daring a bruising political fight with President Barack Obama alongside two leading GOP presidential contenders from the Senate, Marco Rubio and Ted Cruz

Senate Minority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.) immediately called for a replacement.

“Failing to fill this vacancy would be a shameful abdication of one of the Senate's most essential Constitutional responsibilities,” Reid said in a statement.

Any denial of confirmation will have negative optics on the independents.

This is what I foresee
1) Obama appoints another justice
2) GOP Senate delay confirmation
3) Obama and the Dem's start making their refusal a major talking point of this election cycle
4) Talk shows becomes dominated by how the Republicans have been frustrating him with intransigence

THE independents hate this type of thing, shutdowns etc and it starts hurting them in the polls

How does this effect all the unsettled cases the court decided to take? Including immigration and the recent environmental law they decided to block?

Nominate someone immediately. Most American understand the important of the Supreme Court. It's one thing that everyone kind of gets. If they obstruct, it becomes a rallying point for the Dem nominee to point out the issues with no showing up to vote. It's an easy play for the Dems and a high turnout almost always locks the dem nominee into the presidency. GOP wins on low turnout.

You already know, its just a matter of whether you want to acknowledge its and waste your energy on it or not.

It's 4 pages and not one single django meme. I need Thomas hugging Scalia with quails dancing in the background. But put Cheney in hunting the quails but hitting his best friend.

This would be his third Supreme Court appointee if this goes through. That would be one president completely re-shaping the court. Talk about a consequential presidency.

dude was crazy

He'll put an Asian on the bench.

 

[code_pirahna]

Man if Obama nominates a straight lace minority...either black (which i hope) or Asian.....and the GOP blocks it...man o man..

They will get destroyed in November

Okay. Let's say a republican is nominated. There are 3 judges that are likely to kick the bucket before the end of the first term.

The republicans are going to block it anyway. And btw, they aren't going to hold hearings anyway.

Toomy is done, and this cement it.
