So, he doesn’t recognize his own conflict of interests that are identical? He has policy positions. Guess he shouldn’t ever make an executive decision…oh, wait, that’s never going to be an issue, so I guess the problem solves itself…

Maybe it’s time to cancel all future nominations to the Supreme Court - just shut it down.
Maybe it’s time to cancel future elections.
Let’s just tear up the US Constitution. With Republicans taking away women’s rights, voting rights, and the President’s defined authority, it’s time for a people’s revolution!

“Because there are cases challenging policies of the administration” would apply to pretty much every Supreme Court nomination in history, you moron. Or is this one of those special reasons that applies only to black presidents?

The Executive Branch has had SOMETHING at stake, something being contested or litigated, something working its way through the courts EVERY GODDAMNED TIME A PRESIDENT HAS NOMINATED A CANDIDATE FOR A JUSTICE POSITION ON SCOTUS!!

In this particular case, I’m going to have to go with “dumber than a box of rocks” rather than “nuts.” Usually, it’s both/and, but this is “wipes drool off chin” level stupid.

This guy is a moron!! But then we are going to hear all sorts of GOP wing nut reasons for why the president shouldn’t be allowed to nominate Scalias replacement

Tell Paul that his claim is dump stupid: The President of the United States cannot possibly be in conflict with the laws that he’s sworn to uphold and defend!

Perhaps Randa can show us the “conflict of interest clause” in the section of the Constitutional dealing with the Presidential power of appointment.
