    Now there is a chance to overturn citizens united. That should be something all can get behind.

    What COTiger said.


    Agree with him or not, he's been a loyal servant to this country and one of the most profound Constitutionalists the Court has ever had. His sardonic approach made his decisions among the best and most thoughtful ever written. There are a few fuck-ups on the Court but I won't cheer their death.

    I wasn't saying fucking a he is dead, it was fucking a the courts are about to be flipped to the other side. I don't wish death on anyone but Scalia was a piece of shit.

    The onion was funnier when you didn't know where the writers stood politically.

    It shouldn't be either side, but a balance.....IMO. Scalia was brilliant.



    I thought you wished death upon goat fuckers.

    Harry Reid is a cunt.

    "The President can and should send the Senate a nominee right away. With so many important issues pending before the Supreme Court, the Senate has a responsibility to fill vacancies as soon as possible. It would be unprecedented in recent history for the Supreme Court to go a year with a vacant seat. Failing to fill this vacancy would be a shameful abdication of one of the Senate's most essential Constitutional responsibilities."

    Not even 24 hours cold and this is what he comes up with? What a bunch of horse shit.

    The naming of a President is a year away. They're not going to wait that long to appoint a new Justice unless the GOP drag their feet for a solid year. The current GOP leadership is pretty terrible, but not that terrible.

    We could do worse, for example the guy that just died. I know you guys would rather have a shill for the right rather than a Constitutional Scholar as a Justice. He's more qualified for Justice than President and he's been a helluva President.
