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:
Let’s remind the DEMOCRATS about the bill THEY approved to keep a republican to nominate a Supreme Court justice
And what would a Democrat know about the Constitution!
Another stupid liberal
Obama is unconstitutional
well planned
and youir a dumb$#%&!@*, no where in the constitution dose it say that he has to replace him, in August 1960, the Democrat-controlled Senate passed a resolution, S.RES. 334, “Expressing the sense of the Senate that the president should not make recess appointments to the Supreme Court, except to prevent or end a breakdown in the administration of the Court’s business.” Each of President Eisenhower’s SCOTUS appointments had initially been a recess appointment who was later confirmed by the Senate, and the Democrats were apparently concerned that Ike would try to fill any last-minute vacancy that might arise with a recess appointment.
JUST THROW oBOZERS APPOINTEE OUT AFTER HE IS GONE AND TRUMP IS IN. -$#%&!@*oBUMa. – DEATH TO ALL TRAITORS OF AMERICA-U.S.A . – DEATH.
But they can do it I guess they have been anointed by God or so the godless creatures think
