Supreme Court Role- Wait for a white President?

[Symmetry]

An interesting situation- thoughts?

[tzor]

McConnel has no spine. The game is over, check and mate. With a progressive majority in the court, the constitution will be dead. The only question is how the revolution goes ... will be become Fascist or Communist?

[notyou2]

What exactly is the process? I think the president puts an individual forth and congress has the power to ratify or veto? Is that right? Can the president bypass congress and force the nomination through?

The USSC has been conservative since the Reagan years, it's time the balance of power shifts.

I'm not sure, the Republicans are saying that it's the power of the next president. I don't fully understand it, but apparently the first black president doesn't have the right in his last year.

just the Senate has to confirm the appointment

Can the president bypass congress and force the nomination through?

if the Senate is in adjournment or recessing for three days or more, the president can appoint someone to serve until the last day of the next time the Senate is in session

the Senate adjourned for Washington's Birthday a few hours before they found Scalia's body so Obama can currently appoint someone temporarily if he acts fast

during the last year of the Bush administration, the Senate stopped Bush from making recess appointments by never adjourning and having someone on-call to show-up every three days and convene an empty room, for example -

That doesn't make sense.

First, allowing a vote doesn't mean allowing an appointment. Just because McConnell allows a vote doesn't mean the Senate will confirm. Sotomayer and Kagan only got confirmed because the Senate was controlled by the Democrats at the time. Even if McConnell allows a vote, Obama will have to apppoint a moderate, not Dan Savage.

Second, Ruth Bader Ginsburg is in her mid 80s, she's not going to be around much longer. Unless you forsee Bernie Sanders becoming president, I don't think you need to worry about a progressive majority for more than a year or two before it flips the other way.

So just simmer down - within a couple years we can finally have public headings in Times Square like John Hancock intended. We can start with abortion doctors, work our way to the cast of Rent, and finish-up with yoga instructors.

[jonesthecurl]

Surely you mean "the cast of Glee"?

[warmonger1981]

Please leave yoga instructors alone. If they go then the beautiful yoga pants are next. Keep the yoga pants at all costs.

at least not until you're done with her?

Orin Hatch says he's too old to be appointed to the Supreme Court --

"I’d be up for the job, but I don’t think they’re going to appoint an 82-year-old man."

-- but apparently has no plans to leave the Senate.

I have a one word reply to the pleas that demand that Obama be given carte blanche to have whoever he wants in the Supreme Court ...

Bork

You were the party that invented the Bork, now live with it you bastards.

Bork

Get over it, Bork was a racist!


Bork defended the idea that States should be free to enforce Jim Crow Laws, and opposed the Civil Rights Act of 1964 on the grounds that using Federal Law to dismantle the apartheid legal code of the post-Reconstruction South was both unconstitutional and morally wrong.

So, using Bork as a rally call for Republicans will back fire.

[tzor]

Jim Crow Laws were WRITTEN BY DEMOCRATS!

During the Reconstruction period of 1865–1877, federal law provided civil rights protection in the U.S. South for freedmen, the African Americans who had formerly been slaves, and former free blacks. In the 1870s, Democrats gradually regained power in the Southern legislatures, having used insurgent paramilitary groups, such as the White League and Red Shirts, to disrupt Republican organizing, run Republican officeholders out of town, and intimidate blacks to suppress their voting. Extensive voter fraud was also used. Gubernatorial elections were close and had been disputed in Louisiana for years, with increasing violence against blacks during campaigns from 1868 onward. In 1877, a national Democratic Party compromise to gain Southern support in the presidential election resulted in the government's withdrawing the last of the federal troops from the South. White Democrats had regained political power in every Southern state. These Southern, white, Democratic Redeemer governments legislated Jim Crow laws, officially segregating black people from the white population.

By the way, the most lamest and overused card Democrats play is the "You're a Racist Card." The fact is that only racists play that card. It's called "Projection."

Jim Crowe was written by Southern Democrats who are also known as Dixiecrats. They eventually joined the Republican Party in the 60s and 70s.

No comparison to the Democrat Party of today. DUH!

[Bernie Sanders]

Bork was a Jim Crow supporter, aka RACIST!

I can always tell what they're talking about on the Mark Levin Show any given week by the major themes that ebb and flow in tzor's posts across various threads. The last two weeks were obviously about Reconstruction.

That's the common use of the liar who wants to hide from his own party's history.

Robert Byrd, Klan member, was a solid Democrat until he died in 2010.

Stop projecting Bernie. We all know you are an old white male racist.

[saxitoxin]

Democrats like to pretend they're the ones who support the arts. BUT, they overlook the fact that Hitler was an accomplished watercolorist in the 1920s and the Democrats (FDR) killed Hitler. As we can see, the truth is that Democrats hate the arts; the NEA is just their scheme to buy artist votes, even though they actually hate artists and the American Nazi Party are the ones who really support artists.

You would you rather me talk about that bastard who screened "Birth of a Nation" in the White House and got us by hook and crook into the "Great War" even after he campaigned that he would not get us involved in that war?

Or I could talk about how that great "saint" who forced Asians of a certain national ethnic background into concentration camps while at the same time drafting the males to fight on the Atlantic side of the war.

Or that damn bastard who filibustered against the Civil Rights Act?

The most fervent opposition to the bill came from Senator Strom Thurmond (D-SC): "This so-called Civil Rights Proposals, which the President has sent to Capitol Hill for enactment into law, are unconstitutional, unnecessary, unwise and extend beyond the realm of reason. This is the worst civil-rights package ever presented to the Congress and is reminiscent of the Reconstruction proposals and actions of the radical Republican Congress."

On the morning of June 10, 1964, Senator Robert Byrd (D-W.Va.) completed a filibustering address that he had begun 14 hours and 13 minutes earlier opposing the legislation. Until then, the measure had occupied the Senate for 57 working days, including six Saturdays.

Hell, do you want me to start quoting Joe Biden's comments on Senator Obama?

I can take any period of history and it's the Democrats who are flat out racists.

and the Democrats killed Hitler.

Democrats didn't kill Hitler. He killed himself when the Russians started breathing down his neck.

Excellent point. I will definitely not vote for Woodrow Wilson ever again.

Russians were helped by the U.S. with lots of aid during the war. If we didn't helped the Russians, it would of been Patton and his tanks that would of rolled into Berlin. Yes, and Hitler would of killed himself anyways.

Tzor hates racism, who would of thought?
