Judge Scalia RIP

[foszoe]

Boy, you sure are optimistic

i never thought you would agree with him!

 

[foszoe]

Just tipped the scales in favor of tuning in now maybe.

If I were to get the opportunity to ask the candidates a question, I'd ask each to name the person at the top of their list to nominate to the Supreme Court.

 

[jedi]

longest Supreme Court vacancy came in President Tyler's term. 1843-1845, the Senate rejected 9 nominations

Aside from being called douchebags and raked over the coals by the media, what's to keep the senate from doing that now?

a backbone, will power, etc..

 

[cbhausen]

The run-up to the election is going to get way beyond contentious. It's game on: Liberty vs. the Nanny State. The stakes have never been higher.

 

[Hardscrable]

It wouldn't surprise me to see Eric Holster nominated. It will be interesting...

I had heard his name suggested before...sickening.

 

[foszoe]

Oh what though?

They put in a more liberal justice so we vote them out so we get more liberal justices?

Nah

Republicans better dig their heels in. We're watching and you're on notice...

 

[dirtybird]

While the delivery is a bit harsh, he's actually correct.

An opinion makes him correct? Hillary will be elected president? So since you 2 are able to see into the future, who do they appoint as supreme court justice?

Nice attitude... Great way to make friends on here. And pachyderms never forget.

We're discussing politics. Making friends is already off the table.

 

[bwframe]

You right wing conservative boy's got your butts puckering up a bit 'eh. Don't worry, when Hillary is elected president she will fill this vacancy, no problem. Then your butts will really pucker.

Just remember: when Hillary is elected it will not be because America loves the Clinton's. It will be because the Republican party can't find it's a$$ with both hands naked in a mirror.

This tragedy opens the liberal's eyes. They now realize that all that tongue wagging over past years now puts them stepping on it. Even our squishes won't give in this time.

I'm no longer a rt wing conservative. Independent is closer.
The bickering is just for the pre-game warm up in different states. Burney and Hickory are just starting the same sh.. now.
I never favored the idea of voting against a candidate but the Dems sure are putting a team on the court that needs beaten bad.
Actually you're beginning to see some Rebubs develope spines and personalities.

This kind of fits in with what we've already seen:

Liberals Launch Racist Attacks On Clarence Thomas After Scalia's Death | The Daily Caller

 

[ArcadiaGP]

CNN reporting that Obama will nominate someone to replace Scalia.

This next 11 months is going to be just awful... and potentially moreso after that.

Do I drink the Drano now, or wait?

I don't have the time to ask my Magic 8-Ball all the questions needed to narrow it down. Buy one for yourself, and ask.

Are they going to bury Clarence Thomas with him?

LOL...

 

[Wolffman]

MCCONNELL on Scalia: "this vacancy should not be filled until we have a new President.”

Good, sounds like he's on the right side here

Remember who you're talking about: Mr. say one thing, do the opposite.

 

[2A_Tom]

OK, I acquiesce, I'll even vote for Jeb. I hope it is Cruz though.

As sad as this day is, the rest of this year will point out the differences between them and us. That might just turn out to be a good thing?

Oh...I am not fooling myself into believeing poor taste and boorish behavior is the province of just one side of the argument. What needs to be the focus of the discussion is how a move towards faithful adherence to the Constitution will result in more freedom for everybody. While not perfect (nobody will ever be), Scalia was one of those people that tended to be such an example. If we had more judges like him rather than Ginsberg, we'd be better off -- That's the argument I'd like to see made.
