SCOTUS... a good idea

Goldberg is absolutely insane. Why on god's green earth would a moderately liberal president appoint a conservative justice? Obama has no obligation to pander to the far right. It's not enough that cons are already bashing him and he hasn't done anything. I'd like to know why they think they're entitled to get another con justice after 30 years of Scalia.

I mean, it's laughable. Hey, everyone - I have a solution! We'll just have Obama pick someone who Ted Cruz would normally pick. And if you don't support that, you're an apologist!

The topsy turvy world of conservatives. Where have their principles gone? Give me good ol' WF Buckley any day. The current crop of righties is terrible.

I hope he picks Sri Srinivasan, who was unanimously confirmed a few years ago. Then let the cons argue how he's unfit.

This whole thing has me pretty fired up. It's just so blatantly obstructionist.

I hope it really burns the GOP in the fall. I hope it gets Hillary elected (literally their worst nightmare), turns the Senate over to Democrats, and they replace Scalia with an ultra-liberal, as well as replacing any retiring justices with ultra-liberals, so the court tilts left for decades to come.

But Obama and Schumer weren't obstructionist? LMFAO.

These idiots are so used to Bill O'Reily telling them what Obama should have done or said that they actually think this retarded idea has merit.
 
Thing1 said:
Well, the proof is bolded. You're only seeing this from a purely partisan conservative perspective.

You wouldn't make the same argument if the current President was a conservative, and you wouldn't say the article has "merit." Because it makes no sense. The only "crisis" in this that Obama could help avert is 100% a creation by poor conservatives who are panicking because of a court vacancy. We have normal, constitutional procedures in place for such vacancies. The idea that they should be abandoned because it's an 'election year' is silly, and not something mentioned once by the founders of this country.

Wrong... AGAIN... but thanks for again missing the fucking point of the article. Apparently it won't matter how many times it is explained to you... you are not intelligent enough to grasp it.

Ahh... more idiots from the left who when confronted with a topic they can't handle they resort to the standard left wingnut 'Fox told em'

LMAO... I bet you were just as 'fired up' when the Dems did the same thing to Bush.
 
Thing1 said:
And what am I missing? Either way, Obama forfeits appointing the kind of justice that he - AS PRESIDENT - sees fit.

I'm tired of this "we have to maintain the balance" thing. Will a President Cruz say the same thing, if he appoints Scalia's replacement and then finds himself in a position where he has to replace Ginsburg? Will he then choose a liberal justice to "maintain the balance?"

Of course not. It's all completely disingenuous. Obama has almost a full year left in office - he should choose a justice, and the Senate should give that candidate an honest vote. Period.

How I do so love liberal tears, when karma hangs around and bites them squarely on the ass. :D

LOL

I'm an "apologist" because I think a Democrat President who has almost a full year left in office shouldn't appoint a conservative to the court.

You're a complete hack. It's hilarious.

So you just want to completely ignore the other parts of the "appointment" process??, like "...with the Advice and Consent of the Senate..."?? :eek2:

Were you speechless when Obama did exactly the same thing in 2006? That's right, he said he regrets having done it. Too bad it's 10 years later when he's on the opposite side of things. However, to people like you, all if forgiven with him because he said he was sorry.
 
GAWD I LOVE THIS ELECTION YEAR. :D

The liberals are putting all their eggs in one basket and desperately hoping they can get Hillary elected, even with her lies about Benghazi, her E-Mails, etc. - then a Supreme Court Justice passes and certain liberal practices and comments have clawed their way out of the cellar, which have the liberals doing their best to push them back into the cellar and relock the door.

They keep attacking Trump and his poll numbers just continue to be in his favor.

Francis Ford Coppola or George Lucas couldn't write a story this good.

:chesh:

You're right because you say so?

No. I'm right because - like the other thread - SF was reduced to just saying I wasn't "intelligent enough" to understand.

The article from the OP is preposterous. It's essentially "Obama can resolve all of this if he pretends he's a Republican." Do you support that idea?
