Please someone tell me there are ads in the works from the DNC blasting the obstructionism, and the lie of “following the Constitution” with these people. Please, someone, I don’t want to face another day knowing this will go unchallenged.

Article II, U. S. Constitution (Presidential Powers)
“he shall nominate, and by and with the Advice and Consent of the Senate, shall appoint … Judges of the supreme Court…”
Nothing in the Constitution about outside legal groups having a say.

Hey, I’ve got a great idea. Let’s just elect the SCOTUS judges then, and make them visit Sheldon Adelson every 4 years.
American Democracy: RIP, 2016. First it was alive and now it’s dead.

I want someone to ask these groups’ opinions on repealing the 17th amendment and returning the selection of US Senators back to state legislatures. Would they still want the people to decide then?

The same ads will appear next year as a Democrat continues to be an office and will say with just 4 years left in that person’s term it’s no time to rush a hearing

The people already decided. In 2012 when they reelected Barack Obama.

This would be a great chance for Bernie to test the power of the people and as a bonus to show solidarity with the Obama administration. He should pound this issue and encourage his supporters to get riled up. I want to see people on the streets of DC with signs that say “Do Your F**cking Job!”

Interesting scenario - stridently obstruct the nomination of a reasonable & viable choice … piss off the majority of the population …
Hilary wins Senate flips … Hilary utilizes various “nuclear” options, executive orders, installs young & highly progressive SC Justice and ruthlessly settles scores, gains revenge on old GOP enemies - and destroys several GOP players without an ounce of remorse.

Fascists HATE Representative Republics (we are not a Democracy. Never have been.)
They also hate the Constitution as they feel only THEY dictate laws and regulations.
Make no mistake about it, these groups ARE Fascists (in the Mussolini style.)
It is very amusing, in a very vile way, to see all these conservative groups insisting that it is improper for Obama to obey the Constitution’s directive that the President “shall nominate…Judges of the supreme Court”.
Scalia himself would scoff at the notion that it would be improper for Obama to submit a nomination.

Debbie Wasserman Schultz is in charge, so you know better than to ask. Her only job is to favor Cinton at every opportunity, so everything else, including this and winning back the Senate are on hold.
YOu never tire of lying, do you?
Oh please, prove Debbie Wasserman Shultz’s bias toward Clinton and lousy record are a lie, it would be so reassuring.
