Antonin Scalia DEAD

Now be brave, Barack, and get SCOTUS out of the shithole for good (well, until the next one dies).

From Demand Progress:

Quote:

Just hours after news broke that Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia had passed away, Mitch McConnell was already turning the unfortunate news into a power grab.

Senate Majority Leader McConnell rushed out a radical claim: That the Senate should shirk its constitutional duty to consider and confirm Supreme Court nominees, simply because it's an election year.

That's not how it worked when Ronald Reagan nominated Anthony Kennedy to the Supreme Court. The Democratic-led Senate confirmed him unanimously in an election year, 1988.

The U.S. Constitution specifically states that the Senate should give "advice and consent" on Supreme Court nominations by the president.

The Constitution has no exception for election years.

It's clear that McConnell is looking for any excuse to block President Obama from naming another justice to the Supreme Court.

He knows what we all know. The future of reproductive rights, overturning Citizens United, protecting labor rights, and Obama's Clean Power Plan all hang in the balance.

Sign the petition: Tell the Senate to fulfill its constitutional duty and work with President Obama to fill the vacancy at the Supreme Court without delay.

If the Democrats have any brains, they will pound and pound on this issue. As Steve Hayes of MSNBC has noted, the Democrats didn't block Clarence "Yassuh, Boss" Thomas from being on the Court. They need to repeatedly tie this to the GOP's scorched earth obstructionism and a further example of why Republicans can't be trusted with power.

Speaking of Thomas, whatever will he do without Massa Antonin to guide him?

Drjohnrock 02.14.2016 06:49 PM

Sorry, that's not going to happen. If Bernie is the nominee, it will be a repeat of 1972. Sanders=McGovern. Sad but true.

You think Trump will beat Sanders in a general election - especially if Bloomberg jumps in...

Trump won't be the GOP nominee. The GOP's mega wealthy masters know Trump can't win the general election. They will see that Trump is dead before that happens.

yeah, no autopsy, either (at the request of the family!!)

and, although he was QUITE SPECIFIC about what his funeral wishes were, a panel of young child bearing age women will decide the ultimate fate of his body

He was killed in order to allow Obama (or Hillary) to further the agenda of shutting down the right to bear arms under the 2nd Amendment in order to obey the Agenda 12 mandate. Allegedly.

President Obama said he will naturally carry out his constitutional responsibility to name a Supreme Court replacement in due time.

But Mitch McConnell and Senate Republicans have doubled down on their radical position that they will block ANYONE President Obama nominates, no matter how qualified.

No hearings. No vote. Nothing.

Extremist presidential candidate Senator Ted Cruz has joined the fray soon after Justice Scalia’s passing, saying the Senate should "ensure that the next President names his replacement" and that he would "absolutely" try to filibuster anyone the president nominates.¹

Another senator running for president, Marco Rubio, ridiculously claimed that presidents "stop nominating" judges in their last year. PolitiFact rated the statement simply "False."²

The president has said he will carry out his responsibility under the Constitution to fill the opening at the Supreme Court. The Senate needs to do its job, too.

I always loved this myth. Dude..... the government would LOVE citizens to have an armed insurrection they could kill everyone with absolute impunity indeed with global support!

Further how and in what universe are any citizens armed and equipped to successfully resist the government through raising of arms?? Seriously? Think this through...

Its not 1789 anymore.. if (and its a huge if) the "Founding Fathers" intended the 2nd Amendment as a means for citizens to protect themselves from government that was in a world where the weapons of military were literally no different than the weapons owned by common people.. today? The government could destroy us all and Skynet could rebuild it..

So stop believing this half baked nonsense..

SuchFriendsAreDangerous 02.16.2016 05:51 PM

Indeed I'd be the first in line to support disarming you because to be perfectly honest i don't trust you or anyone with arms..

Rob Instigator 02.16.2016 06:01 PM

The sad, honest truth of the world is that, in every single field or endeavor or organizational structure that exists created by humanity, EVERYONE IS MAKING IT ALL UP AS THEY GO ALONG.

The government, any government, works exactly the same way. He who talks the best game will be treated as if he knows the truth. No one knows what is truly going on. No one checks on anyone else's lies, because they are all telling themselves and each other lies every single second of every day.

It is all a crazy make-em-up, and the evidence is everywhere for those who are willing to actually see it.

Rob Instigator 02.16.2016 06:02 PM

this applies to government, education, religion, business, etc. etc.

Scalia's death has gone dark in the MSM. Based on the M Gira thread logic, we have to believe the accuser.

http://www.veteranstoday.com/2016/02...s-a-pedophile/

Supposedly this is why Obama did not go to his funeral. I'd love for this to be his administration finally rooting out the international pedophile network (such as known that permeats the Belgium and British elites).

For people who know whats going on, this does not happen in a vacuum - Senator John DeCamp outlined the horrors of an child rape ring in The Franklin Coverup, and when Reagan was president it was reported in the Wash Post that rent boys were given private tours at night of the White House. yeah, tours.

Rob Instigator 02.29.2016 03:54 PM

There is no stronger reason for gathering as much wealth and power as you can than to hide your sicknesses and vice.

It all sounds like ridiculous claims until they are verified years later. No one believed that the Director of the CIA was a cross-dressing homosexual who used his powers to attack homosexuals and anyone he saw as "fringe" until the truth came out.

No one wanted to believe that the rumours that Reagan was a puppet suffering from Alzheimer's with a drugged-up pill-popping wife who claimed to fight a war on drugs by Just Saying No, until years later when people admitted it all.

No one wanted to believe that JFK was a philanderer who could have given a flying fuck about his own wife and kids, until the years pass and the truth wormed it's way out, with him and his fucking brother tag-teaming various starlets and whores brought into the white house by Secret Service people....

It is probably not overstating we owe our lives to JFK - the Generals wanted to use nukes to initiate global nuclear war during the Cuban Missle Crisis and JFK would not allow it.

I'll give them a break on some consensual sex. I don't think they treated those women respectfully, and they messed Marilyn Monroe around. allegedly she was 'dating' the kennedys around the same time she was with sam giancano, chicago mob boss.

So Merrick Garland it is. I wanted Noam Chomsky, but whatchagon'do.

ilduclo 03.16.2016 06:46 PM

Sounds like a pretty good choice, I'm glad to see that Srenevasan wasn't the nod. Garland sounds good, per

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Merrick_Garland

SuchFriendsAreDangerous 03.16.2016 07:05 PM

Garland is an interesting choice. Clearly liberal and activist BUT at same time historically supported by Republicans and the bigger point, oldest nominee in almost 50 years so it is a diplomatic olive branch of "hey give us a liberal justice but as a compromise he want there for more than a few years" sort of like a Pope Francis kind of caretaker. Not exactly a hamstrung lameduck BUT neither a long arc generational change.

As long as it's a Jew, right? Your're cleerly part of the conspiracee. Everyone who doesn't have their head buried in the laim streem media knows that Jews run the Illuminati from the hollow core of the earth. I mean, you'd have to be a wacko crazy loon not to see the obvius. Running the Supreme Curt is part of the plan. Since 1856, there have been eight of those peeple on the bench. Enough allready. Give the Protestants a chance.

Watch youtube clips on the subject of Illuminati. Read the comments carefully. Educate yourself, stupid.

(Wow. That started sort of funny and got sick pretty quick. Apologies to everyone's brain.)

A very shrewd choice by Obama, using Utah Nazi Hatch's past praise of Garland as a cudgel. And now UNH doesn't even want the Senate to consider the nomination. The GOP is fucked any way it goes: (1) refuse to consider the nomination and be even further exposed as obstructionist reactionaries; (2) conduct perfunctory hearings and not ratify the nomination, with the same result as (1), or (3) ratify Garland and get a justice who might not be a 100% leftist on everything but who will clearly tip the balance of power to the liberal faction on the Court. I love it!
