Scalia made decisions more based on his religion and conservative ideology than the law. The fight for his replacement will be for a Scalia clone.

This was just before, President Bush's term was over. That summer my brother called Joe Biden's office (who was head of the committee with judicial review, if that is what it is called) to ask when he might be called to respond to questioning and review. He wanted to know so he could plan his vacation that summer. He was told very specifically, <br /><br />"Unless you are a woman or black, don't worry, nothing will go forward until after the election."<br /><br />His nomination simply faded away when Clinton won the election. I seriously doubt the republicans in the Senate will act any differently to President Obama's nomination.<br /><br />BTW, Several years after, President Clinton nominated my brother for a Federal Magistrate*position which he held for many years, but he always lamented missing out on the first position, one which would have meant much greater participation in the judicial process. <br /><br />*I won't go on about what he had to do in way of soliciting donations to the Democrat Party from associates at the request of the same Mr. Biden's office, in order to secure this nomination, suffice to say it is a very dirty business.<br /> joehhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08520161706680568508noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3435235471457118706.post-52228933833280152982016-02-14T16:58:39.033-06:002016-02-14T16:58:39.033-06:00This could totally backfire on the Republicans.

To get a nominee confirmed, Obama would undoubtedly choose a more moderate candidate than would a new Democratic president, and should Obamo choose to do so he could appoint someone during a congressional recess, as the Constitution allows him to do.stephen Hayeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17659054447637207734noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3435235471457118706.post-50846937586230966242016-02-14T16:49:21.336-06:002016-02-14T16:49:21.336-06:00"This is what it's come to my friends: th..."This is what it's come to my friends: the people we send to Washington to represent us, in other words our EMPLOYEES, have just told us fuck off."<br /><br />That's the best line I have heard in a long while. These are OUR employees.... who pays their salaries? Hmmm my tax dollars I am pretty sure. Remember your first pay check..... before you knew what taxes were and you took a look at your first pay check and thought "WTF". That's how I feel about the current situation in Washington DC. I would like to be able to allot my tax dollars .... but that's not how this works is it? I have watched a lot of debates recently - being married to you in this political climate.... well it's exciting... but it's exciting in a scary apocalyptic kind of way.... it's like when you are watching F1 and one of the cars touches another and explodes into a million pieces... Hillary and Bernie, Ted, Jeb, Donny T, Marco and Johnny K.... those are the choices currently. The only one that makes a lick of sense (that's Texas speak for something) is Johnny K. When everyone else looks like they are in a cage match shouting and carrying on .... he's calm, cool and collected. Who do you want to handle your Nuclear Codes? The hot heads who are loving nothing more than fear-mongering (sounds like Hitler - just saying) Or some one that can keep a cool head? Ted thinks that ISIS will cross the border between Texas and Mexico in their Toyota pickup trucks.... did he fail geography? ISIS may have a ton of cash but not sure they are going to put their lil trucks on a container ship - just sayin - that's not good business. And he's got a twitchy trigger finger on our ICBMs - does he know how that works? You launch , they launch = world screwed. I will do everything in my voting power to keep that idiot out of office. Is there a revolution coming? I don't know .... but it wouldn't surprise me.<br />Kelly Parkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00425192683121773326noreply@blogger.com
