Obama nominates Merrick Garland for SCOTUS

I'm pretty sure no one cares now or will remember after the Trump landslide

Even if you believe Trump beats Clinton in a one on one election, we won't have a one on one election. Far too many of the (R) establishment hate Trump and will put forward a 3rd party candidate, which will certainly give the win to Clinton (though I'm of the belief that Clinton beats Trump 1:1 anyway, even though I hate her).

After she wins, she will nominate Obama for the supreme court.

Obama knows the (R)s won't let his nomination during the lame duck year pass, so he put forward a guy that everybody likes, just to make the (R) establishment look like the clowns they are.

Why a white guy?

Would you prefer a hispanic/black/asian, lesbian, third party nominee?

The Democrat nominates a center right judge and the GOP is going to stonewall him so Trump or Hillary can appoint someone far more liberal.

Fucking idiots on both sides.

And idiots everywhere will tell congress to "do their job", when their job indicates that they have no obligation to confirm his nominee. EverybodyFS.

If people really think that republicans are violating their role to advise and consent on a nomination according to the constitution, they should bring a case to the supreme court.

I don't think anyone's arguing that what McDonnell and his gaggle of faggots are doing is unconstitutional. It's just bad politics symbolic of the shit that has given people like Trump so much support in the first place. Never before in our history has a nomination been stalled until a new president takes office.

Hasn't been a supreme court justice appointed in a lame duck year in over 80 years. Obozo himself filibustered Alito. Dem's didn't want a Bush appointee with 2 years left in his term. Commie's always want you to do as they say not as they do!

You read funny. They have taken action. They said hell no we ain't gonna do it! It's constitutional.

That's right. I forgot about Alito. I wonder whatever happened to him after the dems blocked him from the supreme court for a year. I hope he found another job.

R's are taking a pretty big chance here. If they block Garland, a relative moderate, and Hillary wins, the Dems may run a far left judge just to stick it up their ass

Why the fuck would Obama want to take a job on the Supreme Court?

Just to give a big middle finger to the birthers and similar red neck ilk.

Lol. Hillary isn't putting up a far left judge. Give me a break.

Far left? Probably not. But she would almost certainly nominate someone in the same vein of Kagan and Sotomayor.
