Justice Scalia dead

[roberth]

Bump, Obama announcing his nomination today.

Yup, we'll see if the GOP caves or if they stand tall like they said they would.

I bet they cave.

Put me down for $100 on cave.

The Republican party is as organized as the '100 yards for people with no sense of direction' in the Monty Phython Silly Olympiad




Their own self-interests make them unable to support a viable candidate for President...but they'll make a stand against the SCOTUS appointment. Riiiiight.

They'll cave and the argument will be "well this candidate he's put forward is better than anyone Hillary will pick" (because at this point I think the GOPe has planned on throwing the election too).

Merrick Garland....

JCN chief counsel Carrie Severino said in a blog post that Judge Merrick’s record on the bench since 1997 “leads to the conclusion that he would vote to reverse one of Justice Scalia’s most important opinions, D.C. vs. Heller, which affirmed that the Second Amendment confers an individual right to keep and bear arms.”

Well, now probably more than ever, we need the R's to make the right choice (for THE PEOPLE), I won't hold my breath tho.

Another effing commie, thanks to all the obama asshole babies on this board.

NPR mentioned that a back-alley message had been sent by the Senate Republicans to Obama saying that if a Democrat wins the Presidency the Senate will confirm Garland in the lame duck period to prevent a more radical choice from the incoming Democratic president.

Regarding Heller, the concept of stare decisis still exists. SCOTUS doesn't just overturn previous decisions.

FIFY.

This Constitutional Republic is dead, seeing as the Constitution was used as toilet paper and flushed. SCOTUS is now entirely political with rulings of "Constitutionality" being made up from whole cloth and are nowhere to be found in the document. SCOTUS is a club wielded to break down state sovereignty and enforce compliance with the Feds.
