Potential Replacements for Scalia

[andy7171]

And both were still on the bench in the 1980s so that is recent history, I am perfectly refutes your point

I was a teenager 15 years ago, hey andy does this mean I can date one of your daughters? I mean we're basically the same age.

Well, if I didn't know about all your baby mama;s....

Dumb fvcks want to pick the nominee they should win the election.


conks.

Since all the Donks have are an Alzheimer riddled ****, and sleazy grimy lying cunt, the Conks are gonna win the election...hence the delay.

You're behind the curve again, Bonkers, as usual; but in time you too will FEEL THE BERN.

From twitter: "Scalia died on President's Day weekend during Black History month, in and election year. God's sense of humor is darker than Louis CK's."

Post of the Month anywhere.

i can see how someone like you would not see how that is basically non-sequitur irony

[dbackjon]

He's such a hypocritical conktard who happens to be right on this critical issue.

FIFY.

By that illogic, once a President does ANY action, there is a conflict of interest and now ineligible to appoint a Justice.


And the AMERICAN PEOPLE TWICE gave an opinion on Obama - and TWICE CHOOSE him to be President.

Good god you conktards have turned into a bunch of fucking pussies.

And both are miles better than the living excrement the GOP has trotted out.

And the American people gave an opinion on the Senate. They want it to be majority Republican -- in large part thanks to Obama.

The Yankee bastard and the Cuban star!

Cuellar was one of 4 starters for the O's that won at least 20 games in 1971 (Palmer, Dobson, McNally). This has only happened twice in history (1920 White Sox).

I realize that. There was a Sports Illustrated article from about that time that told about a Spring Training incident in Florida where a parking space designated for reporters from the Cuban Star newspaper was being taken by a non-reporter. They traced it to Cuellar, who naturally had assumed that he was the Cuban Star they were referring to.

Of course, Democratic Senators represent 20 million more people than Republican Senators do.

And we will see after November as well - since 24 GOP Senators are up for re-election.

"The President’s supporters insist vehemently that, having won the 1984 election, he has every right to try to change the Court’s direction. Yes, but the Democrats won the 1986 election, regaining control of the Senate, and they have every right to resist. This is not the same Senate that confirmed William Rehnquist as Chief Justice and Antonin Scalia as an associate justice last year."

I'm confused, so now proportional representation is important in the Senate? Does James Madison know about this? Are we rewriting the Constitutional history books to take this into account now??? One less thing for kids to have to remember - begone Connecticut Compromise!!!!!

History repeating itself over and over again and proving that Dems and the GOP will do and say anything to fit the politics of current news cycle.

Yup.

First, someone dug up Al Franken?

Second, this sorta makes sense.

The Constitution does not set a time limit on the President’s ability to fulfill this duty. Nor, by my reading, does the Constitution set a date after which the President is no longer able to fulfill his duties as Commander in Chief, or to exercise his authority to, say, grant pardons or make treaties. It merely states that the President shall hold office for a term of four years. And by my count, there are in the neighborhood of 11 months left.

If we were to truly subscribe to the Majority Leader’s logic and extend it to the legislative branch, it would yield an absurd result. Senators would become ineffective in the last year of their term. The 28 senators who are now in the midst of their reelection campaigns and the 6 senators who are stepping down should be precluded from casting votes in committee or on the Senate floor.

Ten committee chairs and 19 subcommittee chairs should pass the gavel to a colleague who is not currently running for reelection or preparing for retirement. Bill introduction, and indeed the cosponsorship of bills, should be limited to those senators who are not yet serving in the sixth year of their terms. If the Majority Leader sincerely believes that the only way to ensure that the voice of the American people is heard is to lop off the last year of an elected official’s term, I trust he will make these changes.

But I suspect he does not. Rather, it seems to me that the Majority Leader believes that the term of just one elected official in particular should be cut short. Which begs the question, M. PRESIDENT, just how short should it be cut? As I said, by my count, approximately 11 months remain in Barack Obama’s presidency. 11. Now, 11 months is a considerable amount of time.

Sizable. It has heft, to be sure, but I wouldn’t call it vast. Then again, there’s a certain arbitrariness to settling on 11 months. After all, it’s just shy of a full year. Perhaps, in order to simplify matters, an entire year would be preferable. Or maybe just six months—half a year. It’s a difficult decision, M. PRESIDENT. If only the American people had a voice in selecting precisely how much time we should shave off the President’s term.’

I'm not sure how anyone in either party could be satisfied with the living excrement they have to choose from. They all stink.
