Just moments after Antonin Scalia’s untimely death, D.C. was lit aflame with controversy over the nomination of his replacement. Republicans said that a replacement should be appointed by the next President, and the Democrats responded by attacking the GOP’s actions as unconstitutional.
Never one to fall out of step with her party, Elizabeth Warren unsurprisingly sided with her fellow Democrats, going so far as to accuse Republican love for the constitution was nothing more than “empty talk.”
If Warren truly had the grasp of the Constitution she claims she has, she would acknowledge the fact that sending someone to the Supreme Court is a two-branch process, not just the Presidents’.
She may be right, the American people did have a say in the nomination process when they elected Barack Obama to the oval office, but they also had a say when they acknowledged their mistake and sent the President a Republican Senate just two years later.
Somehow, though, she doesn’t seem to agree. See her full statement on the next page:
A Muslim on the court should be unconstitutional
This is evidence that liberals are incapable of reason.
As Elizabeth Warren correctly observed, the Constitution states that the President shall have the power to nominate justices by and with the advice and CONSENT of the Senate. The president is not required to fill vacancies, nor is the Senate required to confirm the President’s appointments. The Constitution doesn’t state that there must be nine justices. It doesn’t even explicitly state that SCOTUS has the power of judicial review.
So Elizabeth Warren just lost her own argument!!!
Stupid Libtard.
And yet these fools keep getting re-elected…
BULL$#%&!@*CONGRESS BEST STOP HIM NOW WE CAN WAITE TILL OBAMA IS OUT OF OFFICE !!
It is against the law
Stupid wench!! No it is not!! Then what about Democratic opposition for Republician appointments?
What does warren know what is or is not constitutional? Just like obama, hillary and obama’s cronies, the dems know nothing about the constitution.
They can oppose say it’s in bad taste but he pretty much does what he wants anyway.
Well Obama don’t believe in the constitution anyway so$#%&!@*him don’t let Obama fill the seat wait until we get an American for President to fill the seat we don’t need any more Obama appointments
