Democrats could confirm Garland!

[JackLuis]

Here is an idea.

Senate Democrats Have One Shot At Saving SCOTUS - Will They?

SO will the Democrats seize the opportunity to defend their principles and "Truck Fump?"

I doubt it even though they will all whine when Trump Appoints Attila the Hun to SCOTS.

Judy Garland or Christmas garland? 'Tis the season!

I'm not really usually vindictive, but the whole Garland is an anti-gun nut was such utter BS I hope they do it. Fuck the liars.

Hey Democrats, Here’s How To Grow A Pair And Save The Supreme Court


Wonkette pitches the same idea. The comments are worth the click!

But does Biden have the balls to do this?

You heard that where?

On the GB, they got it from NRA talking points.

 

[NOIRTRASH]

You lost the election, Jack.

Next we'll replace all the SCOTUS LEZZARDS with goose stepping haters.

 

[phrodeau]

You heard that where?

Nobody knows Garland's stance on guns, because the Senate refuses to give him a hearing.

 

[JackLuis]

Only because the Demo's don't have the balls to call the existing direction of the country what it is, destructive of the Rule of Law and does nothing to unify the country.

What we need is to separate people by their actions, not their identities.

 

[phrodeau]

And you believe in the Easter Bunny too, right?

No, I do not. It isn't in the Bible.

 

[JackLuis]

I wish Biden had the balls to bend McConnell over and shove Garland down his throat! That would be a greater service to America than anything Obama has done so far.

Biden is quoted as saying he will run for Prez in 2020. Maybe it'll be Biden 3.0 vs Hillary 3.0 and Bernie 2.0 in the primaries! Joe vs Bernie for the new party in 2020. Hell 40% of the existing establishment will be dribbling pablum by then. Perhaps they will have sit down debates?

 

[about_average]

Ok, cite his stance on guns.
You obviously have knowledge of it since you're equating phro's comment with believing in the easter bunny.
In other words, put up or shut up.

Oh No!
We Can't Sneak Judge Garland In Through The Back Door

Even if we tortuously twist the Senate rules on their head, wringing every last semantically favorable ounce of meaning out of them, we still run into the fact that, according to Section 1 of the 20th Amendment, a Senator's term begins when the previous term expires.

The terms of the President and Vice President shall end at noon on the 20th day of January, and the terms of Senators and Representatives at noon on the 3d day of January, of the years in which such terms would have ended if this article had not been ratified; and the terms of their successors shall then begin.

Fucking lawyers!

Haha, it's not lawyers. You now, it's that pesky thing...what is it agian? Oh yeah, the Constitution. The same thing that will protect us from any Trump overreach, and did from the executive overreach of Obama.

What ever side of the the political spectrum you are from you have to be amazed at the wisdom of the framers.

So how did the Constitution help us avoid an unnecessary war in Iraq, or prevent Obama and Bush from Droning innocent people without due process of law? Or indite Cheney for war crimes for his torture advocacy?

Of course not Jack, it also didn't help my hemorrhoids. The Constitution is a framework. All the examples you cite were poor judgements of misguided politicians. And there will be plenty more under Trump, would have been had Hillary won too. Humans make mistakes and do things wrong. "If men were angels...." You know. (Madison). And I would never deny we need to hold leaders accountable - on both sides (you left out Hillary and her violations of law that she will never answer for).

There is no utopia, and I hate to shit on your holiday season, or Santa Claus. But all said, I'll take our constitutional framework over anything I know. Many will take issue with that. And that's fine. There's about 170 others countries to choose from.

Bush didn't do that, O did that after expanded the powers of the PATRIOT act.

He was the first, and (D) response was "But....BUTT..... BUSH!" like the bunch of rat bastards they are.

You would think with their total loathing of the USA...hatred of our basic and founding principals all these democrats would get the fuck out and move to their socialist paradises.

Poor Judgment or unlawful disregard of not only American law but International Law? Just because it was a mistake does not excuse the fact that it was unlawful and those responsible should suffer the consequences.

I rather like our Constitution and wish our Presidents and Atty General would enforce the law, even if it takes Princess Hillary and Trump down too.

I thought that only applied to a presidential appointment made when congress wasn't in session.

Actually Bush did use drones, just not nearly as many.

On the other hand, the kill to "collateral damage" ratio has been much higher from Obama's use of drones.
Bush - 50 - killed 296 terrorists, 195 civilians, about 1.5:1
Obama - 506 - killed 3,040 terrorists, 391 civilians, about 7.5:1

One can't argue with that. Agreed!

 

[BotanyBoy]

Not intentionally on US citizens.

Obama was the first to summarily execute a US citizen with a drone strike.

Its all that Hope and Change coming to fruition.
