Why Now? I Think We All Know Why!

They took his power away and held it until a Repub got in. If Hillary won, we would still have 8 on the court.

Presidents have no "SINGULAR" constitutional power to place a candidate on the court. They are required by the Constitution to "APPOINT" all candidates to the federal courts, it's the Senate that has the "POWER" of "CONFORMATION" of all candidates to the federal courts. No "POWER" of Obama's was violated by the Senate.

The fact is the senate has the power to make sure the president does not offer up a totally unqualified candidate of repaying a favor. Not only did the Repubs stop the process, but refused to hold hearings and many did also refused to even have conferences with him. If your crippled mind, do you define that as advice and consent? If so you are lying. That was a total destruction of the process. Pray tell, what was the advice they offered?
That was an absolute abuse of power.Indefensible and wrong.

As I have proven several times now, only the Senate has the absolute constitutional "POWER of COSENT." Presidents have no such power. Presidents have only the "SINGULAR CONSTITUTIONAL POWER" of appointment of all federal judges to the courts.

Senators "ADVISE" the President regularly as to the appointments they, (the Presidents), make to the courts. I'm sure Obama was "ADVISED" by many Senators about "WHO" he should appoint to the courts. 2 of Obama's choices to the Supreme court were confirmed by the Senate, one was not.

As President Obama noted, "ELECTIONS HAVE CONSEQUENCES."

What I don't understand is; since this is a he said / she said situation, why are liberals more inclined to believe her; when there is no evidence.

I thought everyone is INNOCENT, until proven guilty, in the US??

I never call today's alleged "liberals," liberals. Actually I'm a liberal, I promote the Bill Of Rights and the literal definitions of the Constitution's wording. Democrats and all progressives are leftist socialist. In the Judge Kavanaugh case the leftist are simply playing the political game. In this case it's a very, very dangerous game. Destroying a citizen's reputation and smearing him or her forever and destroying his or her family along with him/her without any provable evidence over an alleged incident 37 years ago by two teenagers isn't just silly and stupid it violates every principle of American justice.

It is classic Saul Alinsky playbook.

They do not have that right. They have advice and consent. there is a process to follow and they did not.. They blew it up. They refused to hold a hearing. they refused to talk to Obama's nomine.. That is not exercizing any duties at all. That is total bullshit. They hid in their caves and refused to do their jobs. if they were close to adults and interested in doing the fair looking thing, they would have gone through the motions.
they could have held a vote. But they knew he was qualifid and not a far lefty. obama deliberately chose a middle of the roader. The repubs want a far ,far righty who believes in the imperial presidency and the establishment of a plutocracy. You rightys don't know it, but the people you voted in do not have your interests in mind, unless you are billionaies and the future rulers of the plutocracy.,

You are right--they have advise and consent. They chose not to consent. There is no constitutional provision about holding hearings.

It is not the people I voted for--you are making unwarranted assumptions. I just made some factual statements about the role of the Senate. Disliking the Republican action not to hold hearings is one thing---claiming they "stole" the nomination is going off the deep end---but no as much as claiming a "plutocracy."

Didn't McConnell delay an Obama Supreme Court pick?

Maybe this is a Republican Strategy that Dems are adopting?

Are you referring to how we waited for the next election to nominate a candidate? You do realize that Democrats are the ones who did it first, right?
 
Jack said:
I think that is the Strategy NOW!

In the case of Obama's nominee, it was felt be many, and rightly so, that an outgoing President should be allowed to appoint a judge. It should await the upcoming election. That's only fair, I believe.

you think she can live off talk shows? Nuts,.
She is a college professor and as said many times, normally a very private person. Rightys do not trust people who do things they see as their civic duty. They immediately think, "how can she make money off it, because that is what they would do" This process is going to destroy her life. She will ba savaged by rightys until she dies.
 
And today another accuser comes out from Yale. Avenatti says he has a third woman who says he abused her. Better get that vote in fast.
