Judge Scalia RIP

They were reversed. Ronald Reagan's last appt, and this didn't happen.

Another point. I asked about if the situation were reversed. We are WAY past partisanship. On both sides. I think if you don't see that you're not looking.

I'm goin' for Sri Srinivasan.

He seems like the crowd fav.

So your brilliant plan is to have 51 people get together and act faster than one guy can get to a conference room that's on the other side of his house? Didn't think this through very much, I'm guessing?

I am not saying that I particularly advocate the idea, just recognizing the possibility and accounting for the fact that stranger things have happened. Hell, we won a world war that we would have lost had it not been for a misplaced decimal point.

I think that's the guy I talked to about my Uverse account. Said his name was "Betty" though...

So there have been political games played even back during Ike's days... Shocking.

President can nominate. Senate chooses whether to confirm. That's it. That's the Constitution.

Media playing a lot of games today about the GOP stripping Obama's "constitutional power to appoint"... complete nonsense.

They're saying it was a heart attack

Texas official: Scalia suffered heart attack | TheHill

 

[Alpo]

Not a bad way to go.

O.K. but I would still like to know why there were initial reports stating cause of death was natural, and NOT foul play.
Why the caveat?
If it were natural causes, why not say that and leave it there?

You expected Obama hit him in the throat with a 3-iron? Reporting is no longer a vocation.

Don't know if it was posted before or not, but what a coincedence

Are you stupid? Where in that post did you read anything that blames Obama for Scalia's death? Oh, you just made it up? No surprise at all coming from you.

I guess you're stuck in the "Sarcasm for Dummies" class?

Well, when so many people have failed to learn how the government works

After 7 years, NOW it's time to get serious? Lol

I really hate bit when we agree.

We have to have a cup of coffee some day.

 

[Roadie]

Let's play nice folks.. or more bans will be handed out.
Thanks

I seriously think that Justice Scalia died of normal 79 year old man issues, and even though I think our current administration is full of a bunch of chumps, I don't think they had anything to do with it...and even if they did, do you think we would really know the truth? Not likely.

On the issue of outcome of all of this, I feel that if the Republican controlled Senate actually digs a little deeper than they have in the past, and finds "a set", this could become a problem for Mr. Obama and crew. Meh, Obama will probably do one of his infamous "back room" compromises with the spineless Republicans in the Senate, and he will get most of his way with this nomination.

The next president is the real key...whoever that is, will probably get two nominations!
