Antonin Scalia Dies

[hoytdwow 202]

Saw it on the Twitter. A third appointment for obummer in the offing; could change the face of the court

[kilroy69 993]

can republicans block his nomination till a new president is sworn in or will Obama be able to replace that Bastard.

[Hardcore troubadour 12,592]

R.I.P. And hopefully RIP to citizens United as well.

the worst court decision of our lifetime easily

Great question. I hope they can block it.

[kilroy69 993]

so it really is for all the marbles here. 1 for sure and possibly 2. the dems could win the presidency and with no support in either house swing the court for the next 50 years

[TimmySmith 2,782]

What mutant will Obama nominate?

[Vikings4ever 496]

the worst court decision of our lifetime easily

It certainly had plenty of negative repercussions, but a law that would allow the government to ban books is clearly unconstitutional.

[hoytdwow 202]

Also, Ginsburg is waiting to retire to see if a dem wins the election

[Hardcore troubadour 12,592]

If Obama tries to appoint Holder I am going to be very disappointed.

[jerryskids 5,172]

I think Obama will nominate himself. The perfect end to his narcissistic reign.

Hmmmm

[kutulu 1,542]

"The longest it has ever taken to confirm a Supreme Court nominee is 125 days. Obama has 361 days left in office."

[TimmySmith 2,782]

Republicans are praying he does. They have many questions that he would be forced to answer. So don't worry it will never happen.

Thanks for pointing that out. He's appointed a Latino woman and a Jewish woman. Black male on deck. Or gay.

[hoytdwow 202]

Fish McConnell has already gone line saying obummer should not nominate anyone and that the next president should make the nomination

[MDC 5,877]

That would be awesome.

[TimmySmith 2,782]

Black man for sure, he covered gay with both picks so far, in addition to those other boxes.

[tanatastic 2,061]

The biggest "Who?" ever.

[Saint Elistan 106]

Fock that piece of ######. This is amazing. Best news of the year.

 

No, really. I'm over the focking moon.

 

Wish he had croaked before he torpedoed action on Global Warming.

Justice Scalia Dead Following 30-Year Battle With Social Progress

The Onion comes through with an amazing headline.

[DankNuggs 305]

Obama will resign and Biden will appoint constitutional law expert, Barack Obama

[Voltaire 4,554]

Kagan has recused herself in Fisher vs. Texas. Affirmative Action needs to die right here and now or it's there to stay, there's enough votes yet in SCOTUS to form a majority.

[hoytdwow 202]

Scalia was a Kunt of the first order. Terrible jurist and a slave to the "strict constructionist" school, which in a bizarre and ironic paroxysm of anti-Americanism is total anathema to what the founders expected us to do.

 

Fock the repubtards, if I'm obummer I eulogize the guy Monday morning and have a nominee to the congress Tuesday. Checkmate.

[Frozenbeernuts 1,652]

Yeah doesnt he know that only old white men who support the 1% above the 99% should be appointed? What an idiot.

That's how it'll go down on Obummer's end. Then we see how McConnell plays it. He'll probably get the pulse of his colleagues and provide a hearing only if he's sure he has 51 sure 'No's. Reject the first one and say there isn't time before the election to decide on the replacement. He probably can dig up the Nos. If he can't he'll stall.

[Hardcore troubadour 12,592]

So, if the Republicans successfully block any nomination, and we send up with a situation like there was in 2000, where the SC basically decided the presidential election, then what? Huh, it's true! Obama is going to be President for life!

While that'd be a better outcome than letting the 2016 election winner get sworn in, it's a temporary fix that's also got it's downsides.

[Frozenbeernuts 1,652]

I think its amusing that the republicans want Obama to leave the decision to the next president. Why in the fock would he do that? No one would really expect a republican pres to do the same in the same situation.

[Patriotsfatboy1 1,432]

It is Antonin, not Antonio

[hoytdwow 202]

It is Antonin, not Antonio

Autocorrect:rolleyes:

 

Fixed

[hoytdwow 202]

Today is a time to remember Justice Scalias legacy, Obama said. I plan to fulfill my constitutional responsibilities to appoint a successor.

 

What presidential election?

[gocolts 300]

Great question. I hope they can block it.

I hope they can too, but they have not stopped him anything else, so I am sure this will be no different.

 

I went to my dad's this afternoon. As soon as I arrived, he asked if I had heard the big news of the day. I said nope. He was watching the Walking Dead and switched it to cable news.

 

I was completely DEVASTATED. To think this motherfocker is going to get another SCOTUS appointment CRUSHED me.

 

In fact, I think I am extremely close giving up completely on this country.

 

We are so FOCKED it is, yes, I am going to say it, BEYOND BELIEF.

 

[IGotWorms 3,302]

Bummer. Wasn't a big fan but he was certainly influential

It's absurd. If it were right before the election or something, sure. But Obama has almost a full year left

[Voltaire 4,554]

I remember when he was appointed. Makes me feel old.

[titans&bucs&bearsohmy! 2,745]

It's absurd. If it were right before the election or something, sure. But Obama has almost a full year left

There are people in my Facebook feed talking about armed insurrection over it.

 

Last I checked, Obama was elected to a four year term. This is the beginning of year four. Any attempt to block his appointment is subverting the lawfully elected government.

 

I hope people do rebel, and are drone striked into puddles of goo. We need fewer psycho idiots in America.

Gary, when I was eight, I begged to stay up late to color in the map in my weekly reader with my red and blue crayon. I majored in political science in college. I had a party for the 2000 election that had guests still there two days later.

 

I say this to point out that politics used to be very very important to me.

 

I like you. I find your politics insane, but you are a good man. I would like to give a bit of advice. Advice I followed during the bush years.

 

Take a breath. Step back. Live your life and don't let crap beyond your control in Washington do that to you. Find the joy around you and ignore the garbage in the media. All it is is a three ring circus to create the illusion that we are still a republic anyway.

[Voltaire 4,554]

Liberals have been waiting for this day for years. It'll be interesting to see how it plays out. I'm guessing Obummer probably nominates the Indian guy from the DC Court that won unanimous approval a few years back, see what MCConnell does with it.
