So far, Senate Republicans have kept their promise not to vote on President Barack Obama’s Supreme Court nominee, Judge Merrick Garland.
In response, some analysts say that Obama may be setting in motion a plan that could force Congress to act.
And the move may just help him give the Democrats control of the Senate, too — all by exploiting a loophole in the Constitution.
Under a little-known and seldom-used provision of the Constitution, Obama can actually force the Senate to convene against its will and put Garland’s nomination on its agenda.
The president could wait until the Senate goes on vacation, when members want to go back to their home states to campaign for re-election, then demand they return to the Capitol to vote on his judicial nominee.
Article II, Section 3, says the president “may, on extraordinary occasions, convene both Houses [of Congress], or either of them.”
But what constitutes “extraordinary occasions”? The Constitution leaves that up to the president, which is just the kind of broad legal loophole Obama may be looking for.
Lyle Denniston of the nonpartisan SCOTUSblog writes, “It appears that it is within the president’s unchecked discretion (except for a personal sense of not crying wolf unnecessarily) to decide exactly when an occasion is sufficiently ‘extraordinary.’”
The president and his allies in Congress, like Sen. Harry Reid, have said going a full year with an eight-member Supreme Court is “unprecedented,” so there’s no doubt he believes a split Supreme Court rises to the occasion.
Obama’s fringe supporters are already calling on him to take action. The far-left DailyKos website asked its readers, “Please start a petition asking the president to use his Article II Section 3 powers.”
That left-wing blog pointed out another reason Obama might want to do this – and, as usual, it’s blatantly political.
Forcing Republican senators to be in Washington, instead of on the campaign trail, would “handicap them against their opponents” this fall, because they’d be forced to be in session and “couldn’t campaign/raise funds” for their reelection unless they vote for Obama’s nominee.
By most accounts, Republicans will have a hard time holding on to their majority in the Senate this year – and President Obama would love to use any trick he could to flip that chamber.
The last time a president called an extraordinary session of Congress was purely partisan. President Harry Truman announced the session during his acceptance speech at the 1948 Democratic National Convention.
Truman demanded Congress meet that July to pass his liberal agenda, including a national health care plan. Senate Republicans, led by Robert Taft of Ohio, passed nothing. Senator Eugene Millikin said at the time, “This Congress will never rubber stamp left-wing schemes for more spending and more government control of everything in America.”
But Truman was able to campaign against the “do-nothing Congress” and win an election he seemed destined to lose.
If the Senate comes into session, they do not have to grant Obama’s wish and vote on his nominee. They could hold empty, pro forma hearings.
But a special session will create intense pressure on them, give Hillary Clinton a boost in the polls, and make it harder for Republicans to keep the Senate.
And today’s Republicans do not have the same resolve as their forebears of Taft’s day. Even without the threat of an exceptional act from Obama, 17 GOP senators have agreed to meet with Merrick Garland, according to The Hill.
– The Horn editorial staff
Judge Garland is probably the best hope from the Obama administration. He is a well-qualified judge, and many existing Republican Senators have already voted favorably when he was appointed to the Washington, D.C. district. And there are serious problems with being one vote short on the US Supreme Court. As President, Mr. Obama has the right and responsibility to appoint this nominee. Now the Senate needs to do their job. Have a legitimate hearing and a vote.
Take a hike! No chance! We’ll lose our second amendment rights.
I say we call a National Deon station and tie up the Whitehouse and every DEMOCRAT FROM TRAVELING OR ATTENDING THIS KANGAROO COURT VOTE ! All these Bastards are CORRUPT. THEY ARE JERKING OUR CHAIN BEHIND OUT BACK.
WHERE IS THE CONSTITUTIONAL EXPERT ( CRUZE ) ON THIS ISSUE.IF HE IS SO BRILLIANT THEN HE MUST GIVE HIS OPINION.
Right ON.
THERE IS NO REASON WHY THE REPUBLICAN CONGRESS CANNOT VOTE A SIMPLE
NO
FOR ANYONE BROUGHT BEFORE THEM IN THEIR DETERMINATION OF THE NEXT SUPREME COURT JUSTICE.
DO THIS AS OFTEN AS NECESSARY TO ALLOW Bammy TO COMPREHEND WHOSE VOTE IS BEING CAST.
( hint ) = it is not Bammy’s vote. )
A simple scenario handled LEGALLY dispensing of the DC politics as usual BS.
All the republicans have to do is vote republican to keep the demos out. They would not have to raise money to advertise. Trump will make it known to keep the demos out.
It seems to me we,’ve already. Lost our vote on anything no one’s knows how to get Obama out even after being a traitor to our country. He lied and continue to lie.I his name is not legal he’s had different s.s. numbers.most of all he lied about being a christian with his forked tongue to get the presidency.can you add more? What can America do? We live under a dictator ship. Hope the next election can help us out of this mess.God help America.repent and turn back to God, he will help us.our only hope.
God helps those who help themselves. We cannot expect to sit on our laurels and expect god to do what we have the power to do ourselves. Our founding fathers revolted with mjch less reason than we have now. If we are too gutless to do what they did we do not deserve better than what we have now. Either grow some gonads or just shut the hell up and sit down. I am sick to death with all this woe is me crapola. Stand up on your feet and try being a man. If you are a female I apologize and suggest you find yourself a real man.
Right on. Stand up men.
It is one thing to stand up against these bastard government blowfficials, it is another thing to be successful in doing so. One person, or even a dozen people don’t stand much of a chance of making things right in D.C. Things are way too far out of line for that, to make a difference that matters will take a small army. That requires organization, this is something the militia is supposed to be doing. The second amendment not only speaks of our right to bear arms, it instructs us to keep a militia that is well organized. This is more than just a right of the people, it is the duty of the people.
Unfortunately the militia’s have lost their way, at least the militia in my state has. The militia in my state seems to just be a place for people who have uniform fetishes to hang out. People who want to feel important without the responsibility that being the militia comes with.
I don,t think GOD has done much for you*************************
We are in this horrible mess because they are all in on this !!! We don’t have a chance in hell to get out of this !! Trump is our only chance that is why they won’t let him in ! He doesn’t owe anyone anything !
The above writing is excellent Let follow this BJ
You’ll only lose your unalienable right to self-defense if you give it up. Those who are unwilling to kill and die to preserve their rights and freedoms will inevitable and deservedly lose them. Semper Fi!!
Semper Fi!!
David Barton has the best take on this I have heard.. It’s critical that Americans stand up for their right of conscience because if the government can violate one inalienable right, it can violate the rest as well”.. This election will decide if the Republic survives or we will have anarchy on an unprecedented scale.
MOLON LABE
Sorry I would much rather have Obama’s choice for Supreme Court rather than Trump, Cruz or Hillary. And the Congress gets a better choice and more say than they will after the Republican Convention.
Winch
That is not the reason and you know it.
WE NEED TO TELL THOSE WEAK REPUBS TO STAND FIRM AND TELL THE MUSLIM pres to STICK IT YOU KNOW WHERE.!!!!!!!!
Where in the hell did this mother fckr come from anyway? I hope the next pres will open omamas sealed documents If found that he’s not an american he gets no pension for being dishonest! Cruz or trump might do it but do you think killary would? I do not think so.
Well said
PLEASE KNOW: That 2nd Amendment GRANTS NOTHING! … IT PROHIBITS GOVERNMENT’S EVEN CONSIDERATION OF ITS CONTENT!!!
Few realize, while the Amendment Articles are always printed following the Constitution signatures connoting their inclusion within its intents, BUT: in fact the actual Bill of Rights IS separate and apart from the Constitution, a STAND ALONE DOCUMENT with its own “Preamble” and original twelve (12) Articles – the first two of which FAILED adoption in the 1789 presentment, however: the Second of these two, WAS resurrected in 1985, becoming Amendment Article XXVII after ratification on May 7, 1992. … Six States had ratified this proposed amendment in the two year period from 1790 to 1791, and between 1985 and 1992 an additional 33 States ratified this nearly 200 years old amendment proposal– clearly decrying the ‘statute of limitations’ myth for Ratification of Amendment proposals!!! … Albeit:
THESE POPULAR BELIEF INCONGRUITIES ARE MINOR, RELATIVE OTHER ELEMENTS CRUCIAL TO TODAY’S EVENTS – SUCH AS ITS Preamble, SUCCINCTLY DEFINED HERE: http://www.barefootsworld.net/consti10.html
… PLEASE MAKE TIME TO ACCESS THIS SITE AND PROPERLY PREPARE YOURSELF IN THIS POLYGARCHY SOVEREIGN POLITICAL POWERS AMERICAN STATUS, THE FOUNDERS SO SEDULOUSLY ESTABLISHED We the People TO SHARE, DEFENSE OF WHICH COPIOUS BARRELS OF PATRIOT BLOOD HAVE BEEN SHED!!!
That would be wonderful. Fewer kids would find handguns and shoot themselves or their friends and siblings…fewer gun nuts would be able to legally buy handguns that are then stolen and used in crimes…fewer crazy people would be able to use legally purchased guns to commit mass shootings…fewer husbands would be able to shoot themselves (or their loved ones) while cleaning a legally obtained gun. The morally degenerate opinion that gun rights are absolute kills people EVERY DAY.
Second hand Joe: you are absolutely right on. I am convinced that Obama and his wife hates this country and all of us Americans he should pack up and get out. He and Bush have all but destroyed this country. We need Trump a businessman. The rest are all bought off puppets.
Hey obama —- stop posting BS and go back to packing your bags and get out of our White House and stop the pollution of our govt.
EXACTLY….YOU are leaving the W.H….so let US do whats right now….YOU have had your “FUN”. Leave it be …WE CARE NOT WHAT YOU WANT!!!
Forget that idea. Americans will lose their second amendment rights for good!
I agree and I am right of center.
could u force harry If there was a republican president ??? there is no law President whenver he wants to spend 70 million dollars of ur money to go on vacation . U cannot stop it
Spoken like a real anti- American democrat. Aren’t you the party that gave us Black Codes, Jim Crow Laws, Dred Scot Decision, passed the Repeal Act of 1894 that overturned civil rights laws enacted by Republicans, gave us the first vice-president who was a member of the KU KLUX KLAN ( Harry Truman ), the School Board of Topeka Kansas v. Brown? History forgot the old saying ” historians say the Democrats gave their lives to expand slavery, the republicans gave their lives to ban it “.
How can a reasonable man with a clear mind stay in the Democratic Party and not realize this party is a traitor to the American way ?
That’s what I keep wondering! Why anyone with brains and informed would vote for a liberal radical democrat is beyond me??
Howard
Amen. You are a true patriot. Thank you.
Don’t really think so. This judge nominee is a sever leftist and us all for abolishing the 2nd amendment. So think really long and hard because he just what Obummer and all his corrupt scrum bags need. Any vote to put this jerk in the supreme court will surely help end all our freedoms and rights. Just what Obummer wants and needs so that he will be able to finally call martial law abd stay in office as dictator over America.
If you read the definition of Martial Law, Martial law is the imposition of the highest-ranking military officer as the military governor or as the head of the government, thus removing all power from the previous executive, legislative, and judicial branches of government.[1] It is usually imposed temporarily when the government or civilian authorities fail to function effectively (e.g., maintain order and security, or provide essential services).
That means that the president is effectively removed, and by some definitions, can be placed under arrest, brought on charges, and be tried by the Military Tribunal. The entire Congress loses all power , until such time as the issues of the Country are under control. Whether the president is restored to office would be the decision of the military. With the way that Obama has screwed over the military, does anyone think that they would actually give the Office back to him?R
Margaret well stated!
I AM SO SICK OR HEARING ABOUT OBAMA. HE IS THE WORST PRESIDENT THAT WE’VE EVER HAD!!!
Sincerely, Carol
President Obama is the best President of the United States in my lifetime. (I am 67 years old).
Get a life Eagle no way BO has done enough damage to this country. BO go back to Kenya please.
Oh my god you are a sick person. BO such in every way. If you love him so much go with him to Kenya please leave the country like him.
you and him must be smoking from the same pipe. be careful your hero is full of sh.. don’t let it rub off on you oh well it has already.
herb:
LOLOL! Sure don’t take much to please you does it?
I
May be the best from the failure Obama, but that doesn’t mean he should be confirmed.
The republican senators failed to realize that they are messing around with a former professor of constitutional law & a constitution scholar. Your being so disrespectful of President Obama will haunt you for karma is now in your midst.
herc
Karma is not going to get Obama but God will that is a sure bet.
could,nt agree more
he was neither of those!
Herc:
Just because he has the “Sheep Skin” does not mean that he knows anything. He uses the Constitution only when things are going in his favor. At all other times he uses either Executive orders or makes up his own laws. Obama is a sorry lowlife who is in good company with most all politicians, especially Democrats.
“Politicians are the Lowest form of life on earth and Liberal Democrats are the Lowest form of Politician”. (George S. Patton)
By the way! VOTE TRUMP HE IS OUR ONLY HOPE!
Ye, Vote NO.
I guess you are forgetting the Joe Biden rule back in 1992;
Senator. Biden said at the time. “It would be our pragmatic conclusion that once the political season
is underway, and it is, action on a Supreme Court nomination must be put off until after the election
campaign is over. “That is what is fair to the nominee and essential to the process. Otherwise,
it seems to me,” he added, “we will be in deep trouble as an institution.”
Play the Biden card;
THE SHOE IS ON THE OTHER FOOT NOW. HUH?
DLS
Obama can pound sand!
You are 100% correct. Those who refuse to do their jobs, as elected officials, should stop receiving their pay checks, too.
Historically this has not happened in an election year and Garland is a leftist judge and there is no way Republicans are going to give in to Obama. There is too much at stake and in case you don’t know it Obama and Harry Reid did the same thing when Alito was a candidate for the Supreme Court. So what goes around comes around. Obama is a hypocrite and only follows the Constitution when it suits him and ignores it otherwise. He has been overturned more by the Federal and Supreme Court than any other President and the only reason he hasn’t been impeached is because Democrats have not done their job. Obama is the biggest terrorist threat to this Country. He is a pathological liar, megalomaniac. hypocrite and a Muslim despite trying to convince people he is a Christian. So there is the other side of it.
It is amazing to me that the thoughts and actions of the then Senator Obama and the words of the then Senator Biden concerning this same subject are being totally forgotten. They both were completely against a Justice being appointed by a lame duck president. My, how we change when it becomes US in the bulls eye. With all of the unconstitutional moves this president has already made, why not rewrite the rules so he can do what he wants to do in this matter. If this continues, our country will be another Cuba. Why should the people have any say in the matter?
The problem with this whole discussion is this! A Supreme Court Justice should be looking at the case in front of them and then go back and look at the Constitution as written by the founding fathers to see if it fits the founder’s intent. These days, both parties are looking for a Justice they can count on to rule the way the party wants them to rule. The Congress should be impeaching every one of the Justices who try to rewrite the laws. They do not have that power. Only the Congress can write the law.
The senate is doing their job by waiting for a new president that has the American people’s best interest in mind. Obama has never been truthful with the American public since before his name change. Garland is anti-second amendment. This judge would do Obama’s bidding on anything that would insult the second amendment of our great constitution.
Excuse me, NO THEY DON’T !!!!!!!!!
He is not ONLY Anti Second Amendment, he has also ruled from the bench to RESTRICT PUBLIC ACCESS to the White House visitor’s logs.
Sounds like yet ANOTHER liberal Obammy lap dog to me.
Congress shoud simply CONSIDER the nomination and SOUNDLY REJECT Obammy’s nomination.
The country cannot, under any circumstance, accept yet ANOTHER of Obammy’s liberal tools in the SCOTUS.
I’ll tell you what Obama is going to force. He’s going to force himself on the street; and he’s getting dangerously close to that consequence.
Arthur Heartsick: The fact that many Republican senators have already voted favorably for this liberal (not moderate) judge is one of the reasons the Republican rank and file is now up in arms, if anti-gunner Garland will permit that metaphor.
Contrary to your assertion, there is absolutely no problem, especially no serious problem, with being one vote short in the U.S. Supreme court. In a tie vote, the ruling of the lower court remains unchanged. Since the Supreme Court may receive up to 10,000 appeals for review (legally known as Petitions for Writ of Certiorari) in its annual session, but cannot review more than about 85 cases in the time allotted, roughly 99% of the appeals are left with the ruling of the lower court in place. Any tie votes within the Supreme Court, therefore, will be insignificant in view of the 10,000 appeals that also remain unchanged.
The Senate’s job is not to consent to a president’s appointee; its job is to represent the people who elected them, which is the foundational principle of a republic.
Hey, Rosie, you don’t need to insult my name. I didn’t tell the Senate how to vote. Just have a legitimate hearing and vote. And can Mr. Garland be any worse than the current Chief Justice-who was nominated by a Republican? Enough.
I guess you have forgotten how we went without a new supreme judge for over two years when Bush was in office and there was a Democrat majority in both the House and the Senate. They voted no on every person Bush selected until he finally chose one they wanted. And it began in an election year. First they demanded that a nominee not be voted on during the election year, and then when Bush was re-elected, they voted no on all selections for the next year. And NEVER has a supreme court judge been appointed during an election year by the Democrats or Republicans. So, yes, this congress has the right to demand that the selection not be made until after the new president takes office.
Furthermore, like the Democrats did to Bush, if the Republicans are forced to take a vote, they can always vote NO! Just because Obama forces them to vote does NOT mean they have to vote yes. And if they do they will NOT be re-elected!
Surely this provision was included for wartime and emergency situations- not to try to force a vote on a judicial appointment-
even to the Supreme Court. And if Obama does do this, Republicans should vote against him anyway. We don’t need another liberal on the Supreme Court now- we have enough of those.
good response – now we need to write our legislators and inform them of our opinion – they all need to vote NO.
THATS RIGHT….have your vote…VOTE NO!
Yeah Libtard. Like the Demonrats would do it any different!!
Obama is a dirty rotten scoundrel. He is indwelt by his father Satan!
That would be Ayatollah Satan……just sayin !
That would be an insult to Satan.
I have to concur, Obama is our first Muslim President. He has no love for this country, Obama has insulted the constitution since before his name change. Obama wants Shariah law to Trump the Constitution. Obama is the most despicable president in the history of this great country. Obama said he would change America by fundamentally changing the people of America to majority Muslim. Tell your friends and family to encourage your senators to vote for The Muslim Brotherhood Designation ACT HR3892. Please help save the constitution and the American Culture.
The Republican senate has the RIGHT to do what they are doing. at this point however, they may want to consider that Mr. garland might be he best they can hope for considering the Trump elections is far from sure thing. In the next 4 years there may very well be an additional 2 or even 3 judges needed. If a “D” is elected, Garland may very well turn out to be the most moderate on the panel.
And that is Pitiful……we’ve had to settle for the least of the evils too many times—ENOUGH !
And we certainly do
NOT want to loose our second amendent right to bear arms.
Don’t really think so. This judge nominee is a sever leftist and us all for abolishing the 2nd amendment. So think really long and hard because he just what Obummer and all his corrupt scrum bags need. Any vote to put this jerk in the supreme court will surely help end all our freedoms and rights. Just what Obummer wants and needs so that he will be able to finally call martial law abd stay in office as dictator over America.
Go to session. Have the candidate speak once to a panel. Vote no. Go home. One day! These guys are making it look like a circus, when it ought to be like hiring a new manager at a Kroger store for them. This judge has shown a propensity to ALTER constitutional law and give credance to city government’s unconstitutionally deprivi g it’s citizens of a basic right, for no effect or justification other than political . that’s a dangerous man on the court whose SOLE job is to rule on what it says, not what they wish it meant.
Good points, Barry! Wish everyone would read your comment thoroughly. The S.C. has gotten away from determining whether or not a “law” squares with the Supreme Law of the Land, its only duty, and instead takes liberties that amount to legislating. It’s time we clamored for enforcement of the long-forgotten 10th Amendment as well as preserving the 2nd.
The only executive order obozo needs to act is the one where he leaves the White House and then right on out of our country.
BUT HE CAN’T…..His play dates are coming here!!!!
Agree with Gerry. Pack up Dumbo and tran “wifey” and cloned “kids.” No more libs on supreme court.
I believe we have enough judges to make a good dicision on anything we need a decision on from that high court.
Leave this along
Under a little-known and seldom-used provision of the Constitution, Obama can actually force the Senate to convene against its will and put Garland’s nomination on its agenda……LMAO!!! Two can play the same game. Just drag your feet and at the last possible moment. Disallow Garland by that time a Conservative president will be in place
There is no hurry to confirm a Supreme Court justice, it has been as small as 5 court justices.
Just because it is an election year and Obama just wants to go against precedence.
Congress could meet say no and adjourn. President Obama can reap the whirl wind.
Woulda, shoulda, coulda,!! Right now the Republicans need to show some cojones and stand their ground. What part of “NO” doesn’t Obozo understand…. Let’s stand up for our country, something POTUS doesn’t understand and do the right thing! Members of Congress need to followup with their constituencies and let them know what the Airhead is up to. Don’t bend to any pressure being fired our way. We let this one go by — what else is left!
If Republicans were smart they would vet Judge Garland and vote on him before the presidential election. Obama has actually done them a service by nominating someone whom most could support. Confirmation hearings always take time with much political capital expended. Why not hold these now while Congress is all but sitting on its hands waiting for the 2016 electoral outcome?
Consider that a new Republican administration from Day 1 would have all it can do to get its team in place and then to develop with Congress ways to fix the economy, tax structure, national debt, military, health care system, foreign policy, infrastructure, environmental issues and the incompetent if not corrupt federal agencies that the previous administration will have left them. Rather than get bogged down after Jan. 20, 2017 in a long drawn-out SCOTUS nominating and approval process, our new president’s energies would be better directed to build his team and solve the problems that most voters want addressed RIGHT AWAY. Politics as usual will not cut it.
By reversing course and holding confirmation hearings for Obama’s decent nominee in the next few months, Senate Republicans along with the presidential nominee could clear the decks and provide more time to prepare for the heavy lifting that would occur after the election. Such an action would show the American public that Republicans are prepared to roll up their sleeves to get things done and reverse years of gridlock. And if the Republican nominee isn’t elected, Hillary (assuming the Justice Department does not indict) would get to nominate her Justice who could be far worse for the country than Mr. Garland.
Fellow Republicans, put away your litmus tests for Supreme Court justices. Take a chance on vetting and voting up or down this decent nominee. Acknowledge how much work it will take to get this country back on track and reduce the electorate’s anxiety and distrust of government. Getting bogged down after the election in the judicial appointment process would severely limit time available for the president and Congress to address the larger challenge of turning around a country that has been losing its way. It is time for strategic not tactical thinking – chess not checkers. Strategic is what it will take to keep the Senate, win the White House and ultimately govern effectively.
If he forces a vote just vote no.
Impeach this Muslim/Marxist for his egregious high crimes and misdemeanors before he can subvert our Constitution any further!
I am with you John just get off your butts and get this Muslim. Out of office if he can in next few months with all the Muslims he is bring in this will be a Muslim country. That’s what the devil wants
I have no problem with the Senate holding hearings on the guy. If this justice has tried to ignore the second amendment he should not be confirmed. The Senate can vote him down.
Mitch McConnell has a history of dealing with Democrats. He basically destroyed the Democrat machine in Kentucky. During his time in power, McConnell’s organization has helped Kentucky Republicans grow in number and helped Republicans become a major force in the state. I can’t help but believe there is more to the story than we are being told. Could it be that Mitch has heard that several liberal Supreme Court justices plan to retire at the end of this session? Could it be that he hopes the Garland delay will force the aging liberal justices to stay on the Court long enough for a Republican president to choose their replacements? A good strategist doesn’t announce his strategy. McConnell may be setting the stage for the next president to be able to appoint three or four justices to the Court in their first year.
President Obama is reaping what he has sown. Over the past seven years he has been the most partisan and uncompromising president in recent memory. He has failed to build any bridges with the Republicans. Sen. McConnell may have decided it is time to return the favor and deny Obama another Court appointment.
As a Kentuckian, many of the Mitch vs. Democrat challenger campaign ads have made what comes out of Donald Trump appear to be tame. Mitch knows how to deal toughly and harshly with the Democrats. I’m not sure the Democrats want to have to deal with Mitch McConnell and Donald Trump at the same time. Both have similar scorched earth methods for dealing with those who get in their way.
I understand that obama can use this if it is considered to be an emergency….how is this an emergency, when ISIS is so close to invading us? How can obama (other than getting hillary off the hook, and maybe him running for a 3rd term) have total control over what the American people WANT? worst president ever and I can’t wait until he and all his clowns are out of the WH that he has abused from day 1. Trump for President!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
This site practiced the deletion of my “freedom of speech” by not printing my original message: to wit; “Impeach this Muslim/Marxist before he commits more egregious high crimes and misdemeanors against the Constitution and our Republic!”
McConnell is an idiot for telling everyone they would not give the judge the curtousy of an interview, he was telling obama just what he needed to know. Keep your big mouth s shut, talk to the man then delay, delay, and delay. I don,t like the tell all whimps we are stuck with, bring on Trump I’m sure he will out the crooks, that is why they are whining. Traitors all!.
Obama is an aS************h*************a nd needs to be addressed by legal means and stopped totally and has more harm to america he is and enemy and must be stopped what ever means legally we can
Mr. President – go look at a speech on the Senate floor from 1992 (an election year) stating, in no uncertain terms, that there should be no Supreme Court appointment in an election year. The President – Bush 41. The speaker- Joe Biden. Case closed
If Odumbo tries this then Congress should make it very clear they will start impeachment proceedings. They have plenty of reasons to impeach this scum bag.
Lolol! They haven’t done it yet, because they are all in the same boat. Another reason we need Donald Trump.
Just thinking??? ……. We have given our Country away to be controlled by an Islamic terrorist sympathizer for the last eight years, and now we have a lying murderer or a Communist that want to take his place. On the other side we have a bunch of greedy, delegate selling (or delegate stealing) politicians who have already proven that they don’t want any change. So where does that leave us America? What do you want for your posterity?
A Dictatorship: vote for any Democrat
Or
Continue without change: vote for Lying Ted Cruz
Or
“We the people of the United States, in Order to form a more perfect Union, establish Justice, insure domestic Tranquility, provide for the common defence, promote the general Welfare, and secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity……”
VOTE FOR DONALD TRUMP!
Where was the outrage when Chuck Schumer and the Dems refused to consider George W. Bush’s nominee for the Supreme Court in 2007? Another example of hypocrisy by the Left. Good riddance Obama.
17 Rinos!!!!!
Obama so glad you are almost finished with your term. It’s been the worst 7 years of my life. It’s time for a real President someone who loves the USA like DONALD TRUMP. Why hasn’t HILLARY gone to jail in a orange and black 600$ pants suit. Who made her God? THERES ONLY ONE GOD AND IT CERTAINLY ISN’T HER. OR MAYBE because she has so much on everyone to throw them under the bus makes her exempt from all the laws for murdering innocence people. Wake up America its time to get a God fearing person in the WH and honest for a change, like DONALD TRUMP. Please vote for him and make AMERICA GREAT AGAIN.
Right on Que…the spineless weeny limpdick republican senators are surrendering to his majesty emperior obama… Not even a wimper of disent or objection from the republican cowards…these repblicans have no intention of resisting obama…all tresonous bunch of them…. TRUMP
2016!
Garlands a hack, and they do not have to vote for him
this useless turd WANTS to FORCE INTO PLACE MARTIAL LAW SO HE CAN STAY IN POWER FOREVER HE WILL START THE SECOND CIVIL WAR
Right on Que…the spineless weeny limpdick republican senators are surrendering to his majesty emperior obama… Not even a wimper of disent or objection from the republican cowards.
As soon as they get called back they need to vote—On Obama impeachment!!!!
Fuck Obama and his supreme court pick. Obama is the most evil asshole that ever occupied the white house and the end of his term can’t come soon enough.
Where in the hell did this mother fckr come from in the first place? Hope the next pres wheather it be trump or cruz will open omamas sealed documents and the truth comes out so he won’t get a pension. If killary wins we know she won’t do it so what does that tell you?
The skinny legged President actually had the AUDACITY to comment on the need to vote at the beginning of last nights American Idol final. America’s took him at his word and voted. I don’t think the outcome was the one that Obammy wanted or anticipated.
Let the cries of Racism begin.
Personally, I checked the statistics for the 15 seasons. Blacks have won the title 20% of the time, which is a DISPROPORTIONATE number when considering they make up 13% of the population. (Had La Porcha won, that disproportionate number would have jumped to over 26%~~a number that represents over twice the percentage of the population)
I have to stick with my buddy Al Sharpton and the NAACP in denouncing racism (as well as disproportionate numbes) whenever and wherever it can or may occur.
Pushback is a bitch ain’t it AL !!!!
So if Hil-liar-y wins and then appoints Obama to the supreme court- we are screwed either way. I guess we have to bet and hope and pray that a republican gets in but the way it is looking….I am not too sure that is going to happen. It is a crap shoot either way. Plus because of the lack of balls in the senate it isn’t looking too great for the repubs to hold onto that either. Not that (apparently) it would make too much of a freaking difference.
Mare-
It’s not that easy, as you can see from D’OweBama’s attempted appointment(s).
If(God forbid) H ‘I Liar’ y gets elected – first, it would have to have been fraudulent – and TRIES to appoint D’OweBama, there’s NFW the Republican-majority Congress will EVER approve him. Hell, even some Democrats would oppose the traitor.
The elite on the rt & the lt will do anything to keep its privileges!
Bot sides are Incompetent, Impotent and Inept.
But the let in particular would love to bring back Stalin era!
If you have a few free hours and want to do some productive reading about our Lawless Federal Government try this:

IF D’OweBama is stupid enough to TRY this, it could well backfire on him.
Congress has the power to SET THE NUMBER OF SCOTUS JUDGES; instead of being gently persuaded to consider and vote for D’OweBama’s choice, they might simply change the number of judges to either 8 or 7 or even FIVE, and get rid of a few.
When in the hell is congress going to get some balls and stand up to this p.o.s. that no one wants to call a president ? He bankrupts us, then makes it legal to steal our money to pay for his reckless overspending ! All lies ,lies, lies and now he wants to try and controll congress ! What an a………..ole !!! Now he wants to take away our vote from us this fall so he can have a third term !! Someone or something is going to start another civil war ! ! ! ! ! Watch and see if i aint right !!!!!!

According to a little essay i’ve read by G. Edward Griffin, the PtB have used a particular strategy for years called “agitate – insulate – facilitate.” It boils down to inciting “the other guy” to strike first, then the retaliation is “justified,” in their eyes. So i find it more likely than not that certain eschelons of the USG are deliberately attempting to provoke people into starting a foolish revolt, so that it can be crushed, martial law can be declared, and the FEMA camps can be filled at will.
So if you hear of anyone talking revolution, be EXTREMELY wary – like the Beatles wrote: “You say you’ve got a real solution, well, you know…we’d all love to see the plan.”
BTW, if you read that article by G. Edward Griffin, you’ll learn quite a bit about the hidden history of the USG and Foundations, etc.; it’s titled “The Grand Deception: A Second Look at the War on Terror,” and google can find it for you tout suite.
Article II, Section 3, does say the president “may, on extraordinary Occasions, convene both Houses [of Congress], or either of them,” but it nowhere states “both Houses or either of them” must vote or are compelled to do anything else but “convene.” Further, Article I, Section 5, Clause 2, states, “Each House may determine the Rules of its Proceedings,” and that would include ending its session.
So, if it came right down to it, Obama could convene the Senate, but the Senate could immediately thereafter terminate its session.
TO WE THE PEOPLE:
We the unwilling
Led by the unknowing
Are doing the impossible
For the ungrateful
We have done so much
With so little
For so long
That We are now qualified to do anything with nothing.
God Help America!
Vote Trump!
The good Lord has been trying to tell us something over the past few years but nobody is listening and this whole country is now suffering for it. Things are now so screwed up that it will take a miracle for us to survive. The whole world we saved and rebuilt after Wold War at our expense now hate us thanks to Obama. We had better start listening before it is too late. We finally get someone,(Trump) to run for President who is not afraid to say what every one thinks and is not beholding to anyone and then fouls it all up with words. Now the good old boys are also out to get him in order to save their good old boys status.
The circumstances are for them to vote on impeachment, stripping him of his citizenship and charge him with violating Article 2 of our constitution. Get him out before he does more damage!!!
Wendy-
First, D’OweBama should NOT be impeached. He should simply be arrested, tried, and convicted of any number of things, starting with Fraud, and moving on up to Treason.
Always remember and never forget: only LEGITIMATE presidents can be impeached.
If impeachment is tried, the very effort will make his presidency to be one that DOES verify his eligibility, despite his lack of the proper type of Citizenship that would have qualified him for the office.
Second, based on a lot of people examining D’OweBama’s alleged birth certificate, he may not be a US citizen at all – or if he is, via his mother, he’d only be a 14th Amendment citizen, not a “natural born” one, ergo disqualified for the presidency.(“Natural born” status is conveyed ONLY if BOTH parents are Citizens.)
Last, don’t forget Bush; he was the one that started TWO wars illegally, used Depleted Uranium that has poisoned Iraq for generations to come, and caused the majority of Iraqi births these days to be monstrosities – PLUS, he got “torture” redefined so as to legitimize it(a complete violation of the 8th Amendment, therefore making him an Oath-breaking Criminal), AND started the heinous and illegal practice of “rendition,” that is, sending “suspects” to be tortured in other countries at “secret” bases.
Just the Shrub’s presidency ALONE would be enough to make the vast majority of other nations peoples to hate us, because we didn’t do enough to STOP his oath-breaking, criminal ass.
D’OweBama just made it worse, for he continued the Shrub’s “policies,” despite his bs promises of “change.” Too bad not enough people demanded to know what KIND of “change” before he took office…
Wendy-
Sorry; that last mini-rant directed toward Bush should have been in response to Giles, not yourself.
Dear responding bureaucratic

Wild guess here … English not your first language?
i have NO idea what you’re trying to say.
SJ As far as Obama and Michelle being atty’s they vactated their titles just before they were going to be disbared for fraud and lying, so when he claims to know anything I tend to not believe him,They both have had a ball using taxpayer money and over spending on extended vacations.,also spending the money to take care of illegals at our expense,while their are homeless citizens ,children and adults going hungry,and our veterans not getting proper care in time,and most of them died.My father always said charity begins at home and our Gov’t doesn’t lift a hand to help it’s own people.
