Justice Scalia found dead; The balance of the Supreme Court about to shift

Maybe but he was born in India.

 

Doesn't sound thai. Thai names are like yingluck shinawatra or paradorn srichipan

 

I was close for seeing it once. Can't blame pot though.

 

He's about as moderate as @red55

 

Sometimes, you just can't make this shit up....

"Then there is Obama himself who decided to filibuster SCOTUS nominee Justice Alito. From ABC News:

In January 2006, then-Sen. Obama joined 24 colleagues in a futile effort led by Sen. John Kerry, D-Mass., to filibuster the Supreme Court nomination of now-Justice Samuel Alito.

On January 29, 2006, Mr. Obama told George Stephanopulos on “This Week” that he would “be supporting the filibuster because I think Judge Alito, in fact, is somebody who is contrary to core American values, not just liberal values, you know. When you look at his decisions in particular during times of war, we need a court that is independent and is going to provide some check on the executive branch, and he has not shown himself willing to do that repeatedly.” (which was an unsubstantiated claim, by then Senator Obama, essentially just a scare tactic)

He added that “there is an over-reliance on the part of Democrats for procedural maneuvers and mechanisms to block the president instead of proactively going out to the American people and talking about the values that we care about. And, you know, there’s one way to guarantee that the judges who are appointed to the Supreme Court are judges that reflect our values and that’s to win elections.”

 

and the other 13?

 

Re-hash. "13 of 14 happened before the end of WW2 and more than half weren't even in the 20th century."

 

Hilldabeast has stooped to another low. At the Schomburg Center for Research in Black Culture in Harlem, where she delivered what was billed by her campaign as a major speech on “systemic racism”.


“The Republicans say they’ll reject anyone President Obama nominates no matter how qualified,” Clinton said. “Some are even saying he doesn’t have the right to nominate anyone, as if somehow he’s not the real president.”

Indeed, Republican candidates have frowned on the prospect that Obama would nominate Scalia’s replacement to a divided court less than a year before the end of his administration — though, as the president pointed out Tuesday, the Constitution does not specify such a time limit. This wasn’t just election year elbow-throwing, Clinton said. This was about race.

“You know that’s in keeping what we heard all along, isn’t it?” she continued. “Many Republicans talk in coded racial language about takers and losers. They demonize President Obama and encourage the ugliest impulses of the paranoid fringe. This kind of hatred and bigotry has no place in our politics or our country.”

So Republicans are not going to cooperate because Obama is black. Just, wow.

 

If you can't admit that's why a whole bunch of republicans don't like him you are fooling yourself. Before I get roasted I'm not saying everyone is like that.

 

could it be true that a lot of democrats and independents don't like him for the same reason? I suspect his record cancels his skin color either positively or negatively depending how his policies affect them.
