Good question. I don't. I'm assuming it will based on increased partisan interests butt I have no proof of that. I wouldn't expect it to be a dramatic increase.

But Mott.
You said the following:

Both good point and if a SCOTUS nominee isn't confirmed before the election that situation will only increase vote turn out and the conventional wisdom is that a large voter turnout put the GOP at a disadvantage. Even if the GOP nominates a establishment candidate they are really behind the electoral vote landscape.

You didn't frame it as an opinion and made it look like it was something that had support.

[USFREEDOM911]

your party would lose everything


your voter ID laws are keeping people from voting huh



its the only way your shits can win

Why don't you tell me how voter ID's keep people from voting!!

But if you decide to just go off and continue ranting, I'm just going to laugh in your face.

[USFREEDOM911]

I did appreciate it but you are just too dumb. I can't help myself. I've never known of an adult as willfully dumb as you are. Your role is clearly in the kitchen making sandwiches, not talking with the big boys about politics. Personally, I long for the day where you drown yourself in the ocean so the entire globe can have the average iq climb ten points. Your stupidity honestly makes me hate you, and I don't really hate people. But I see you as the epitome of the dumb, overconfident uninformed voter that makes up their mind via the huffington post. A textbook prole if there ever was one. A hypocritical unprincipled circle jerking rah rah partisan with no regard for the consequence of their own actions. You are a drain on this site and my mental well being. You suck.

Grind:
Why don't you tell us how you really feel.

[Damocles]

yeah it just goes to show that conservatives are the principled ones, even to a fault. A liberal judge would never go against something they personally believed. EVER.

Yeah, even when they know it is right.

Yes I can. The very existence of the Constitution.

If the people are free to elect a government that in turn is free to do ANYTHING to the people as a whole, what is the purpose of the Bill or Rights?

How can a Federal Government be held accountable for violations of the Bill of Rights without a Court to review if the laws are a violation of those rights?

If there is no mechanism for review, what purpose is a Bill of Rights? Without such review, the elected officials are in effect without limit to their power, the government is tyrannical.

This is nothing but blather.

There is no text in the Constitution that expressly gives the Supreme Court those powers.

I have never come across writings indicating that was the ORIGINAL INTENTION of the founders. In fact everything I have read was that the Supreme Court was intended to be the weakest of the branches

The US Constitution does not need interpretation. It says what it says or it really doesn't mean anything at all

Those that say it is a "living document" are traitors to this country who know the Constitution doesn't allow them to do what they want to do so they mysteriously fund hidden rights or twist the law to serve predetermined outcomes. Even B. Hussein Yobabymama acknowledges that the US Constitution is predicated in negative rights meaning it outlines what the government CAN'T do. It doesn't outline what the government should give you.

Epic fail on your part counselor. You really are a shitty lawyer. I bet all of the judges where you live laugh when they see your name on the docket

dude.....the issue isn't whether there is a mechanism for review.......the issue is whether the courts have the power to change the constitution.......obviously they should not.....

Waiting till November could backfire

Dude, was asking for proof that The Courts have the power to invalidate unconstitutional laws.

I don't think the GOP can put this off until after the election. It's a huge risk if they do - going an entire year without filling a vacancy?

Not gonna happen.

Nor will they confirm another Obama appointed far left justice.

[evince]

because they hate this country

[Cancel 2016.2]

You want Hillary or Bernie to pick the next justice?

Either would be better than Obama making a pick.

[Cancel 2020.1]

Nor will they confirm another Obama appointed far left justice.

Obama was elected President. It's not their call.

The next Prez will probably name at least 3 justices to the court, regardless.

[evince]

too bad


the American people voted him in twice you democracy hating fuck

[Cancel 2016.2]

Ahh and this is based on what rational? Because Fox News, Breitbart, Newsmax and Rush Limbaugh told you so? LOL

Obama is what he has always been. A pragmatic center left Democrat. Now granted compared to the far right GOP base in this nation that makes him a communist but you kinda have to consider the source there.

The fact is that there are only two parties in this nation. A far right wing party and a center left party.

Pure nonsense. You can scream about Fox news all you want. It is the standard bullshit the left tosses out in their pathetic attempts to shut down discussion. Obama is not even close to being center left and it is pure comedy that you think he has been pragmatic. He is the most divisive President in modern age. His idea of compromise is 'I won... do what I want you to or I will label you an obstructionist'.

He is 1000% ideologue.
