Justice Scalia was an American hero. We owe it to him, & the Nation, for the Senate to ensure that the next President names his replacement.

Wasn't Anthony Kennedy nominated by Reagan and confirmed by a Democratic Senate? Kennedy eventually replaced Robert Bork as a nominee.
So . . . favoring the rich while enjoying their largess would be OK, but criticizing them while taking their gifts wouldn't be?
I wonder if any GOP candidate will buck this trend.Pinned Tweet

I won't be holding my breath.
Maybe Trump, just to get attention and as a basis for criticizing the others.
Maybe Kasich or Bush or anyone who wants to display a bit of statesmanship to contrast themselves with the partisan hacks.
There's really no cost to taking that position - unless you are in the Senate now and might have to walk the walk once you have talked the talk.
Always hilarious when IMCC gets owned like this. I'm sure he'll disappear from this thread now.
And LOL at a prison guard mocking the CV of a Columbia and Harvard educated attorney and professor who became President. Only on this board.

Cruz is just the worst.
He wasn't considered anything. He was a full time professor from 1992-1996 and adjunct after.
I disagree. I think the Republicans would expend too much political capital blocking for a full year. It would be near unprecedented.
Hahahahahaahahahahahahaha oh my God this is awesome.
He works at the prison in Coralville in some capacity. Some say prison guard, some have said he's a janitor. All we know for sure is that he's the dumbest cockwallet on this board.
Sounds like a gift title to me..
"Dumbest Cockwallet on HROT" isn't a gift title. IMCC earned that one with thread performances the likes of which we're seeing tonight.
Again. So much HATE from you when I simply said Obama was a "lecturer" and not a professor. Why so much hate? Does it personally offend you to the bone that someone doesn't like your man as much as you?
I find it fascinating how visceral you become at moments like this.
Because you were proven wrong, straight from the employer's mouth and you couldn't acknowledge it.
First off -- keep crying, brah. It's a good look for you. Let your mascara run because someone on the interwebz pointed out how stupid you are. Aren't you like 50-something?
As for your question -- I'm offended and annoyed by high level stupidity, which you routinely exhibit here and should be ridiculed for. Obama has been good in some ways, lousy in others. But the stuff fools like you come up with, like mocking his CV and job titles of all things, as a means to prop up your own hate, is comical.
Anything else? If not, you might want to log off for the night and stop confirming many of the things folks already assume about you with regards to intelligence.
Did you mean favoring a strict interpretation of the Constitution? Sometimes I forget that Democrats can never be hypocrites because they have no values to begin with. ( I've been told this by one of my left leaning drones for years )
Good for him. Now let's see if the republicans have the grapes to shirk their constitutional duties for 11 months.
I wonder what odds Vegas gives on a new Justice being confirmed before the election this Fall?
I'd think there is almost 0% of this happening. This will play bigger to many than the POTUS election. Come on Obama......appoint a liberal!

Imagine what candidate POTUS Sanders can find! THAT would be the ultimate GOP horror story!
There is no need to rush into any confirmation if an unqualified candidate is nominated. In fact it is up to the Senate to determine how many SC justices there are. It has varied from 5 to 10 over the years.
The Constitution places the power to determine the number of Justices in the hands of Congress. The first Judiciary Act, passed in 1789, set the number of Justices at six, one Chief Justice and five Associates. Over the years Congress has passed various acts to change this number, fluctuating from a low of five to a high of ten. The Judiciary Act of 1869 fixed the number of Justices at nine and no subsequent change to the number of Justices has occurred.
This would be a great time to change the number to 8. Gridlock in the SCOTUS could go hand in hand with the rest of the gridlock between Congress and the Executive Branch. The less that gets done by these clowns the better off the American taxpayers are.

Was Scalia using a strict interpretation in bush v gore? What about when he ruled the 14th Amendment prohibits Michigan from using affirmative action in college admissions, but lets Texas make gay sex a crime. What about when he wrote wrote that "despite the narrowness of its terms," the 11th Amendment has been understood by the court "to stand not so much for what it says, but for the presupposition of our constitutional structure which it confirms."
GOP won't have a choice. If Obama wants he can at least appoint a temporary justice during a Senste recess. Either way this thing is getting filled.I wonder what odds Vegas gives on a new Justice being confirmed before the election this Fall?

Wrong. Judge Bork received a full Senate vote - 42 for, 58 against.
No, he cannot act responsibly Lone...unless he allows the GOP leadership to make his nomination for him. The GOP is not going to allow Obama the privilege...They have stone-walled him every step of the way the past 7 years, they ain't giving up now.
"unqualified" is a rather subjective term. The position has become so damned political all candidates are qualified/unqualified.
On the eve of a very close election, I don't see the GOP rolling the dice on such a controversial idea.
