SCOTUS Justice Antonin Scalia Dead

Repubs don't want that, especially when they have to defend a lot of senate seats.

Ayotte, Johnson, Kirk, Portman all lose in that scenario.

No. Rest In Misery.

He was pleased when Kagan got on the court because he said he looked forward to her intellectual capacity to discuss important ideas. His best friend on the court was Ginsburg, their families enjoyed each other's company...

Cruz is gonna get run out of this IMO. I think this actually works in the Republican's favor. This could be more of a uniting factor.

You mean giving opinions about a replacement.
I guess it's easier in Russia where Vlad decides everything for you.

What does the business involve comrade?

While I disagreed frequently with Justice Scalia's conclusions, I was always struck by his intellect and enjoyed reading his opinions. He will be rightly remembered as a Supreme Court an and one of its greatest thinkers. His is a great loss for the Court.

I think that might have been true up until maybe 5-6 years ago, but he's been an old man screaming at kids to get off his lawn since. He stopped even pretending that he wasn't implementing an agenda, no matter how cruel or unfair the rulings.

Obama should use an executive order to put a nice liberal on the court.

Then, the conservatives could file a complaint with the Supreme Court.

Then, the Supreme Court, with it's new member could uphold Obama's nomination. Problem solved.

[exstatic]

Maybe Uncle Thomas will freeze like a bunny in the headlights and not know how to vote with Scalia gone, and they'll all be 4-3 decisions.

[Th'Pusher]

The GOP’s blanket block of Obama’s Supreme Court nominee could backfire in a big way.

Specific nominees have been blocked in the past. But what Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell and his confreres are proposing is different, amounting to an usurpation of a presidential prerogative. Perhaps the threat to block all nominees, before the Senate even has a chance to weigh their qualifications, could be justified if we were closer to November, but in February it deprives the court of a ninth vote for at least 11 months. The president is elected to a four-year term, not a three-year term, and it’s his right to appoint Supreme Court justices. The Senate’s role, per the Cons ution, is merely to “advise and consent.”
If McConnell follows through with this threat, what is to stop a Democratic minority from issuing blanket bans on Republican nominees, should a Republican be elected president in the fall? (Harry Reid removed the filibuster for judicial appointees, but there is an exception for SCOTUS nominees.) If McConnell wants to turn “advise and consent” into a much stronger weapon, what’s to stop Democrats from using it? It seems entirely possible that we’re heading toward a cons utional crisis, at a time when the court is evenly divided 4-4 ideologically.

Regardless of what happens Obama holds the trump card here... He could do as I said earlier...appoint via executive order and let them sue....or appoint an Hispanic and let them hold it up and use it as election blue meat

You might want to re-think that. Obummer is going to be his squishy, centrist, "compromising" self

That'd be the first time.

He's a monster.

He's a monster.

He's a corporatist centrist. He punished nobody for torture. He punished nobody for the economic collapse. Every proposal, from Obamacare to Dodd-Frank, has been a lukewarm, modest "c'mon guys let's compromise" capitulation before negotiations ever began. His policies and enacted legislation is to the right of Reagan.

He inherited a total ing disaster from your team, and managed to right the ship amazingly enough. But to characterize him as a radical or monster is completely disingenuous. He was basically Dubya-lite.

Nope. He's a typical centrist who was ashamed to advocate or propose policies anywhere left of center because of his skin color. He could have been great if he recognized in 2009 his "let's all hold hands and come together" approach was doomed to fail by 2010. But it took him till 2014 to realize your side are a bunch of lunatics who will never negotiate with a nigger.

And just what are your specific alternatives to Obama's policies? And don't give me pie in the sky ....what would you have prioritized and done differently and how would you've garnered support for it? Saying he should have been far left is nothing but your version of Tea Party bull
