Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire Obama's next Supreme Court picks are worse than the first two

If one of the conservative justices died, and Obama had the chance to swing the court, don't you think Harry Reid would, in one minute, take the nuclear option and have the Senate vote to change the rules so that a simple majority could confirm his nominee?

He would.

Yep

I would say that this is the best reason that anybody is better than Obama. The civil war in the republican primary is music to Obamas ears.

Don't be ridiculous. Only in his dreams would he do that. And your nightmares. There is zero chance that he could pull that off, even if he tried.

Let's try to get real - no one here has a clue what Bammer's appointees might be. He might not even know himself at this point. These stories are always out there and yet, when the time comes, they are always proven wrong. This is another one of those.

He wouldn't have to, Enough senators feel that "advise and consent" means determine if a perspective justice has the basic qualifications, If Obama is relected the Senate will Likely confirm most any Obama pick.

I doubt it. The Senate's Dem majority is more likely to shrink than grow and the Reps have shown themselves more than capable of stopping anything and everything that happens in the Senate. Not gonna happen, even if, and that's a huge IF, Bammer gets re-upped.

I don't believe you're even close to plausible,noKnees.

Thank You for this post as I will now sleep soundly tonight. Amazing how far left BOs agenda is, just sickening........

There is no doubt in my mind that Harry Reid would try it, if he thought he could swing it. miles

denton are you convinced we git rid of Obama?


I wish I was, but man he's built a war chest, and just sitting and waiting for the GOP to do his dirty work for him, whomever is left standing Romney or Newt it seems, he'll take up the fallen sword and continue slashing where their GOP counterpart left off. Plus he'll have free help from most of the MSM.


so you god fearin, Constitution lovin fellas spell it out for me


worst case scenario in my mind

O wins

he appoints 2 liberal gun hating lawyers like those named above or similar

Heller gets overturned, found not to be an individual right


economy gets worse and violence breaks out


POTUS says, "time to turn em in fellas, they're doing more harm than good, it's for the chirren, they're getting shot in the street" the law is on his side all the way to the Supremes (absent Diana Ross of course)


then whatcha gonna do when they come for you?

Within the same vain of thought here, look at Gov. Christies picks for judges.

Look at Kagen.. The Dems mustered 58 or 57 votes for her but they got plenty of Republicans to come along. Of course the vote for her isn't the real test. The real test was the cloture vote and that one wasn't even close.

Its true that the republicans might put up a fight before the election and certainly would in the lame duck session, but history shows few nominees voted down when the senate leadership is of the same party as the administration. After all if they loose just handful (McCain Snow and one more they are screwed.)

really....tell it to Kagan and Sotomajor.

All before the 2010 midterms though,IIRC.

Oh...like who?

In '08 many here, unsatisfied with the GOP candidates decided to sit on their hands to "teach America a lesson". I wonder how many will again refuse to vote and allow Obama to skew the SCOTUS?

Ernie

We have several here at the Campfire that say they will. miles

I wonder how many will call Romney "Electable", alienate anyone who balks at the notion that he doesn't suck, and then blame others when he goes down in flames, again, like McCain, Dole, GHW Bush, Etc. November 2010 should help clarify some things, but it won't, again.

Ignore very recent history at our peril. The premise that Romney is somehow the only legitimate choice & is being pimped by so many would be funny, if it wasn't so sad. As is the flawed idea that a primary process that goes to the end is somehow bad. Far from it.

the GOP had enough votes to filibuster before or after 2010. If, God forbid, Obama were reelected, one hopes the Republicans in the Senate would dig in and fight these nominees to the last trench....against a massive media and paid advertising onslaught. A simple majority won't work because you can't count on the girls from Maine not to roll over and bark for the left.
