President Barack Obama has reportedly narrowed his shortlist of potential Supreme Court justices to three, and is focusing in on the top two.
Of course, this may all be for naught. It’s questionable whether the appointment made by Obama will ever even see a Senate confirmation hearing. In order to force the nomination, Obama seems to be focusing on judges the Senate has already approved. That way, their opposition could be spun as politicking rather than substance.
Whether that matters to the Republicans in congress who want to see the next president — hopefully a Republican — remains to be seen, as caving in to any of Obama’s appointments, no matter how conservative, would be seen as traitorous to many in the conservative base.
Regardless, Obama seems steadfast in his determination to get this done before he leaves the Oval Office.
See who he is considering on the next page:
You have to have committed a crime and after millions of wasted dollars of taxpayer money and 100s of wasted hours there’s nothing, not even a late library fee. Give it up.
Steve Greenwood , again it won’t be decided by Obama. Do you not follow what is going on in Congress? Congress doesn’t have to even have a hearing on it if they choose not to. The Republican have already made that clear. It has already been done before. Do your own homework and find out for yourself.
No

Fck this administration picks. No more muslim appointees. In any other offices

One of the wonderful perks of being a citizen of the USA, which includes Mrs. Clinton, is that a person is considered innocent until proven guilty in court. Guess what ? She hasn’t so she’s innocent ! God bless America !
They said they weren’t going to pass his budgets either and how did that work out ? Worse comes to worse Congress will go on recess and the Constitution allows for him to make a recess appointment.
Steve Greenwood again good luck.
