On SCOTUS, Pressure Falls on Endangered GOP Senators
By David Atkins
All corners of the Republican Party have made themselves very clear: they intend to, in Donald Trump’s words, “delay, delay, delay” the confirmation of Antonin Scalia’s replacement on the Supreme Court until after the 2016 election. Ted Cruz has signaled his intention to lead a blockade, and Mitch McConnell intends to run a blockade.
All of this would be unprecedented, despite conservative protestations to the contrary. Conventional wisdom seems to suggest that McConnell can hold the Supreme Court nomination hostage for the whole year. But is that true?
It’s not necessary for the entire GOP to confirm the nominee. It only requires a few GOP Senators to join with the Democrats to fulfill their Constitutional duties. And as it turns out, there are quite a few Republican Senators in blue states who would be pilloried as intransigent obstructionists if they refused to confirm commonsense consensus nominees.
Among these Senators would be Senator Mark Kirk in Illinois, who is already Democrats’ primary target for a Senate takeover. Wisconsin’s Ron Johnson is less ideologically likely to cross the aisle, but with Russ Feingold already seeming likely to defeat him in November, it’s not clear that Johnson can afford to give Democrats yet another cudgel with which to attack him. The same goes for Senator Kelly Ayotte in New Hampshire, Pat Toomey in Pennsylvania and Rob Portman in Ohio.

You won’t need that heart where you’re going.
Has the CBC put out a list of who they believe would be qualified candidates to fill the Supreme Court Vacancy?
Just askin’.

Has the CBC, which couldn’t wait to rush to a tv to endorse Hillary, put out a statement about the GOP telling the President of the United States that he doesn’t have the right to nominate someone to fill a vacancy on the Supreme Court?
Just askin.’
Hillary is probably contemplating who she will nominate…

Good Morning, Everyone :)
This is really cute. I loved Beyonce’s halftime show at the SB, paying homage to the Black Panthers of San Francisco.

The GOP are like the EMPEROR HAS NO CLOTHES.
They CLOAK themselves in the Constitution, and think they own it, like it’s only iin their home closets, sitting on the top shelf.
The hell of it is, we shouldn’t even need to talk about this. It just goes to show the lengths the GOP leadership will go to obstruct all democratic progress and even try to redefine the role of the executive branch of government. But, the POTUS appoints Supreme Court justices, period.
Antonin Scalia died. It happens. No one gets out of here alive. So, PBO appoints a new justice, the Senate confirms the appointment. That’s how it’s going to be.
“But, the POTUS appoints Supreme Court justices, period.”
We get, Liza. It’s for folks who are ASLEEP
And there are lots of them.
It is part of the President’s duties to nominate vacancies on the Supreme Court.
PERIOD.
Please delete above, didn’t work like I thought.
Just to be clear folks
IT IS PRESIDENT OBAMA’S CONSTITUTIONAL DUTY TO APPOINT THE NEXT SUPREME COURT JUSTICE.
This is not setting not about setting some precedent. It’s purely partisan politics, becasue the GOP know what the stakes are in this appointment. They know that they already RIGHT-LEAING COURT cannot & will not contiue to USURP OUR RIGHTS AS AMERICANS.

Joy Reid interviewing Rev Dr. William Barber on Voting Rights. We mourn Justice Scalia’s death, but we must move away from his policies.
The country has been given a gift, an opportunity to help appoint justice that will PROTECT OUR RIGHTS, NOT JUST FOR A FEW HANDPICKED FOLKS
*Looking@YOUSCALIAROBERTSTHOMASALITO*
….*ROBERTS, ALSO TOO!*
Republicans are shook about Scalia’s sudden death. Just like Scalia’s reigning power of affliction and pain has come to an end, so could their nightmare on America….in just one swoop.
Maybe it’s a sign.
Yes; it is an opportuniy for change; an opportuninty to go forward, instead of backwards, as this court has been doing incrementally, of course.
Happy Valentines Day to all our loving friends!
Happy Valentine’s Day to you, SG2!
Thank you, Liza.
Beautiful! Thank you SG2.
Happy V -Day, SG2!
Happy Valentines Day, Rikyrah. My boy is going to fire up the grill today.
Hope your V-Day was lovely.
Hi, Vitamin. I had a beautiful Valentines Day. My kids showered me with flowers, candy, teddy bears and puppies. Then my boy fired up the grill. It was so good.
Hope you had a wonderful day too.

Antonin Scalia caused misery and pain for so many people. May he receive his just reward.
Justice Antonin Scalia is now SITTING before the HIGHEST COURT in the Universes of God.
THAT.IS.ALL.

This debate is an embarrassment to the United States of America. With the possible exception of Kasich and Bush (who is in pathetic, detestable denial about his brother), these candidates are completely execrable.
The audience is revolting as well. It’s as if CBSN had transported a few hundred ancient Roman spectators from a gladiator fight in the Colosseum. Mortifying. The noise of the candidates and the crowd is still ringing in my ears. I’ve just finished watching it, and I want to take a shower because now I feel dirty. That has never happened to me from watching a debate.
– There is widespread consensus that Donald Trump had a very bad night in Greenville. The question is whether that will cause lasting damage, or if he continues to be coated in Teflon.
One of the problems for leaders of the chattering class is that they have been so wrong about Trump so many times for so many months that everyone is gun-shy about predicting his impending decline.
The billionaire was flustered and cranky. Not only was he thrown off his game by sustained boos from the crowd and a pile-on by his rivals, but he often sounded more like a Democrat than a Republican.
He didn’t just call George W. Bush’s decision to invade Iraq a disaster – which he has done before – but he blamed him for 9/11 and said that the former president “lied” about the presence of weapons of mass destruction as a pretext for war. “Obviously the war in Iraq was a big, fat mistake,” the frontrunner said at the Peace Center. “George Bush made a mistake. We can make mistakes, but that one was a beauty. We should have never been in Iraq. We have destabilized the Middle East.”

Happy Valentines Day, Yahtc. I love Snoopy
Hey Sg2. Now folks think we shoud forget what Scalia did to DESTROY OUR RIGHTS AS AMERICAN CITIZENS.
YEAH RIGHT
Happy Valentine’s Day to you, Yahtzee and Everyone.
And they want take another right from our president. I hope the don’t get away wih it and he picks the new supreme court justice.
Hi Kim. The GOP won’t geet away with this. It’s within the powers of POTUS to appoint the next SC Justice.
And the lie that it’s never been done in an election year? PURE BULLSHIT
They had a knee jerk reaction proving they gave it no thought. They might start a fight but they’ll lose.
