Re: Replacing Supreme Court Judge Antonin Scalia
Reply #32 –
lia was well known for his judicial activism.
The Conservative side is holding out hope that the illegally-running lipless Canadian wins so he can thump his bible and his own personal version of Jesus into everyone's face for 4 years, all the while, nominating a Justice that would enact the Christian version of Sharia Law with his/her rulings.
The Liberal sides wants to go ahead and do the damn thing because:
1. The Constitution says that it is for the President to do (lame duck year or not) and the Senate to confirm or deny.
2. They too want a judicial activist on the Court. Roe v Wade is their most lasting legacy of judicial activism.
At the end of the day, the average American is screwed either way. No one in DC or a various state capitals gives a good damn about us.
Que sera, sera.......
Well yeah, except the President isn't a lame duck until after the election. Until then filling judicial vacancies, including the SCOTUS, is his job according to this little thing called the constitution.
