RIP Antonin Scalia

Sure, but did Obama insist that Bush shouldn't nominate anyone because Bush only had three years left to his term?

 

Yes, Obama's whining is going to be epic.

 

He'll nominate someone. And that nomination won't pass. Count on it.

 

LOL. Even your butthurt has butthurt now.

 

You pinko white knights using the term butthurt derisively - you do understand its context, right?

 

One other question that should be asked to Cruz, Trump, Rubio, etc.

Are they willing to make a pledge that If elected president and the same situation arose as it is now, are they willing to forfeit any nominations until after the next election. I'd like to see if any of them would have the guts to answer the question affirmatively.

 

They'll to a man say "Yes," because it's politically expedient, eight years is a long way away, and the odds that any of them will get to be a two-termer are slim and none and Slim just left town.

 

David French in National Review:

Dear Democrats, Please Stop Insulting Our Intelligence on Judicial Nominations, by David French, National Review

 

He lost any credibility in his argument in the second paragraph when he defended Mr. Saturday Night Massacre.

 

In the modern nomination era - since Bork, I guess - has this ever happened, wherein a "liberal" or "conservative" justice steps down/dies and the President in office gets to try to flip the seat? I figured it would happen eventually. My money was on a possible President Cruz, Rubio, or Trump replacing Ginsburg.

 

Another lost bet.

 

Alex Jones: Obama Murdered Justice Scalia And Donald Trump Is Next

So there's no such thing as a 79-year-old dying of natural causes?

I really wish people would knock this shit off.

This administration is above this sort of thing.

It only happens in the movies.
