in case you have not noticed, this has become an activist court. The Supremes are suppose to interpret the law, right? Well the liberal part of the court is all about loop holes and liberal speak. Another liberal judge, the Church and the 1st and 2nd amendment are going to be rewritten. Liberal speak.

That's fine when Obama nominates someone then for the record they can do just that but, some to say Obama should not even nominate someone is just ridiculous. Which some have said by the way. As far as I'm concerned they even have hearings and not confirm the nominee.Originally posted by skids View PostWhy do you have trouble seeing this? Nobody has a problem with Obama doing his Constitutional duty of nominating a justice. What you and others do not seem to grasp is the FACT that it is the Senate's Constitutional duty to "consent and advise". Thus they are under NO Constitutional obligation to accept that nomination. In fact, they've already "advised" Obama what will happen.
Nobody is cherry picking. It's all right there. Read it.
The PEOPLE should have as much as possible to do with anything the government does. The last time the people "spoke" in an election we chose to kick out democrats and give the majority to Republicans in the Senate and the House to ward off a lawless President. With this President on his way out the door, it is perfectly within the Senates rights to hold off on a confirmation hearing.
If the people are dumb enough to vote in a Democrat to the Presidency then the Supreme court will more than likely swing to the liberal side. But, at least the people will have had somewhat of a say.
And yes some were cherry picking

Originally posted by dirtisforracin View PostObama has every right to select someone, just as the republican controlled congress has the right NOT to confirm his choice. Republicans in control best not screw it up, and bend over once again and confirm his pick. Republicans will have to vote for conformation to confirm his pick. Plain and simple. Yes America spoke in 2012 for Obama, but you cant forget 2014 American's spoke again, and made the senate republican. Is it gonna be nasty, is the media, once again gonna cover for liberal and progressive idea's. YEP/ I left out democrats, because there are only a few true democrats left in DC. Same goes for conservatives. Progressive politics and ideas are what are hurting and harming our country. And to be progressive is not specific to democrats or republicans, both can be.
Also its a (not a nice word)(not a nice word)(not a nice word)(not a nice word) shame Obama is not going to his funeral. Disrespectful as well. Don't give me Biden is going. Obama is the President of United States, how about he do something, for the Office, for once, and not himself.
One thing is for sure the Justice would probably be happy that this man not show up at his funeral. I certainly would not want him at mine.

A judge can be impeached from the court. Maybe they should look at doing this if they do not do the job they were nominated and confirmed to do and that is interpret the law.Originally posted by TS FAN View Postin case you have not noticed, this has become an activist court.

Six funerals than the president did attend. And while not denying that he will be playing golf instead of attending the Scalia funeral. This should be very telling about what this man is really supporting.
1. Senator Daniel Inouye (D-HI)
Less than two months before the 2012 election, both Obamas took time out of their schedule to attend the funeral of Senator Inouye. President Obama openly wept over the liberal senator.
2. Hadiya Pendleton
Three days before his 2013 State of the Union address, President Obama sent Michelle on his behalf to the funeral of 15 year-old shooting victim Hadiya Pendleton. Obama’s decision to send Michelle to the Chicago teen’s funeral set the stage for his SOTU address, in which he called for further gun control restrictions.
3. Senator Robert Byrd (D-WV)
Despite Robert Byrd’s well-known ties to the Ku Klux Klan, President Obama attended the Democratic senator’s funeral. Obama gave a speech at the ceremony and called the late senator his friend.
4, Reverend Clementa Pinckney
Reverend Pinckney, who also served as a South Carolina state senator, was one of the nine people killed in the Charleston shooting last summer. Despite never having met Pinckney, President Obama delivered his eulogy.
5. Former Democratic House Speaker Tom Foley
Just six months after snubbing the funeral of former British Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher, President Obama attended the funeral of former Democratic Speaker of the House Tom Foley. As he tends to do when actually attending funerals, Obama delivered a speech.
6. Walter Cronkite
When the legendary newscaster passed away in September 2009, President Obama found room in his schedule to travel to New York for the memorial service. Once again, Obama gave a speech at the service. He had openly admitted that he never met Cronkite.
