J. Jackson Posted September 24, 2020 Share Posted September 24, 2020 Why blame Trump? He is obligated to nominate someone to fill the vacancy. The rest is up to the Senate. TFB if the nominated candidate gets confirmed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Remember midterms cuck told the countery to vote for the Supreme Court. Well America did and the dems did not get the votes Right. Obama did his job and the senate didn't. Now Trump will nominate someone and the senate will fight about it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt Posted September 24, 2020 Share Posted September 24, 2020 2 hours ago, Snake said: All you have to do is refute it... This is the constitutional process and the historical norm. There has been a Supreme Court vacancy arising in an election years 29 times in American history. In 10 of those cases the presidency was held by one party and the Senate was held by a different party. Nine of those 10 nominees were rejected by the Senate, just like Garland was rejected. On the other hand, there have been 19 times when a Supreme Court seat became vacant in an election year where both the presidency and the Senate were controlled by the same party. Only one nominee, Abe Fortas, was rejected. And Fortas was rejected on a bipartisan basis after an ethics scandal. All other nominees were confirmed in an election year when the Senate and the president were of the same party. /thread Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What happened to letting the voters decide? Voters have nothing to do with a Supreme Court appointee. The President makes the appointment, with the ADVICE and CONSENT of the Senate. That's the law. When Black Obama tried to appoint Merrick Garland, Mitch McConnell held it up. That was McConnell's call as Senate Majority Leader. That's the law.

Guest Posted September 24, 2020 Share Posted September 24, 2020 Chuck Schumer made an impassioned speech that, " it was the fervent wish of Bader Ginzberg, that no appointment be made, UNTIL the next president is elected." Who gives a fuck about her wishes. That's the brutality of politics. If not for laws, politicians would shoot each other. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

F3600 Posted September 24, 2020 Share Posted September 24, 2020 The Dems have tried from day one of the Trump presidency, to destroy or discredit anyone involved or selected by him. To now expect some conciliatory move by him or the Republican Senate is just laughable. 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really hope Pelosi and her band of idiots try impeachment again if Trump gets his SC pick in before the election, it will be a slaughterhouse win for Trump.

But to a low IQ idiot like smales this is all replublicans fault. the dems get zero fault for a fake Russia, a fake kavanau, a fake Ukraine and some how it's the replublicans that are off the rails? Following the historical norms is way off base for democrat's and the idiots that follow there narrative. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

USA Contributing Member $poorsledder$ Posted September 24, 2020 USA Contributing Member Share Posted September 24, 2020 Obama put up a nomination during the end of his tyranny.

And everyone of them know that if the position was switched, it would be fine and dandy to appoint a new judge. RBG and the rest of the dems knew she messed up when trump won. She should have retired way before that when Dems could have appointed a judge, but after a trump win, they all realized that she only had one option and that was to try and hang on until the results of the 2020 election were in. I guess they should have thought about it back in 2014 https://abcnews.go.com/Politics/senate-elections-2014-republicans-projected-seize-control-senate/story?id=26570135 Edited September 24, 2020 by racer254 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oboma put forward a nominee but he did not have the votes. Had he had the votes there would have been a other lob on the court guaranteed. To pretend otherwise is pointless. Like stated above elections have consequences. Hence why at the midtetms chuck was pleading with America to go vote because the balance of the ourt was at stake . Well people did just that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
