Scalia

[MakeItRain]

Clarence Thomas had the longest confirmation process at 112 days, and we all know why it took that long. Gross political games will be the only thing stopping an Obama appointee from getting approved.

Google Ronald Bork you stupid eff

 

ROBERT Bork was approved

[MakeItRain]

he's been the most destructive president in history.

Amazing

I could give you a very detailed, point by point, argument of all the things Obama has done to tear down the foundations of what made this country the greatest nation the world has ever seen. But again, pointless.

1. Be a negro

How could a conservative possibly think Obama was more destructive than FDR or LBJ?

All 3 are huge racists, coincidentally.

I didn't realize there were still people who think b.o. is black

Sure I'm day drinking. You called me a stupid eff while misunderstanding the point and calling Robert Bork something else, but yeah I'm day drinking.

[star seed 7]

Seems like a pretty good thing that bork was rejected

[Fake Sugar Dick (WARNING, NOT THE REAL SUGAR DICK!)]

The left's preconceived rage about the pubs hypothetical and "unprecedented" stuffing of the b.o. nominee is pretty hilarious because Bork.

Why is an.autopsy being ordered.  Hillary had him killed I bet so Obama can be named.  Obama willl appoint Biden as a recess appointment.

Bork was somehow a worse person than Scalia.

Certainly seems like it, quite the accomplishment

What the eff did Ronald Bork have to do with my point?

[Fake Sugar Dick (WARNING, NOT THE REAL SUGAR DICK!)]

When it comes to blocking nominees in the last 40 years, you've got Bush, Reagan and Nixon. But let's rage about the idea that b.o. maybe might could probably have one blocked, because "unprecedented"

You either had no point, or were miserably uninformed when trying to make one.

The Bork ordeal was the politically grossest thing ever in the confirmation process, as most democrats would even agree.

[michigancat]

Reagan left Bork out to dry. Was pretty sad, really.

[wetwillie]

Bork was a decoy to rope a dope the senate into confirming Kennedy

[K-S-U-Wildcats!]

There is a lot of hysteria ITT about what the president and the senate should do, and I'm not sure why. It's really pretty simple. It is the president's right and duty under the Constitution to appoint a successor. He will. It is the senate's right to not confirm that successor. They won't. That is completely understandable given the importance of this position and the fact that we'll have an election for a new president and a new senate in less than a year.

Anyone feigning outrage about the senate not confirming Obama's pick is either a complete moron or just doing some political sniping.

Finally, Scalia was not a judicial activist just because you don't agree with his opinions. If you really think that, you don't understand what "judicial activism" means. It means reading something into the text of a law that isn't there, or just making law up, to reach a desired result. Scalia was the anti-activist. He would be the first Justice to say "this is an issue for the legislature - not the Court. The Constitution doesn't cover this."

Just wondering when is like the cutoff date for when a lame duck President should at least get the opportunity to get his nominee confirmed? This is setting dangerous precedent. Will a President be able to nominate someone his entire 2nd term or should we be forced to wait until the next election?

The fact that you used the term "lame duck" should answer your question. There is no actual definition. Like the famous jurisprudence on what constitutes pornography, "you just know it when you see it." And even you know Obama is a lame duck. We're in the thick of the primaries and any hope of substantive legislative action has all but shut down for the election year.

Chances you'd be saying if it was President Romney? 0.0%

If the situation were reversed, GOP pres, lib Justice, Dem senate, I would absolutely expect Reid to block the appointment. And so would you. Would I be happy about it? Of course not.

Bork was a horrific person.  Most of the slimy Nixon admin hangers on like Rumsfeld, Cheney and Kissinger were responsible for decades of awfulness but luckily Bork was prevented from doing too much damage.

Would the Dems do it? Absolutely. Do I think it sets a dangerous precedent for the Republic? Yes. At some point we have to become less partisan or else the republic breaks down.

It's amazing how many of them had careers as if nothing happened.

Scalia: Total stud in protecting citizens from illegal searches and prosecution via hearsay. 

[sonofdaxjones]

Decades of awfulness?? Lol.
