In a move meant to openly defy U.S. Senate Republicans, President Barack Obama has nominated a judge to fill Justice Antonin Scalia’s open Supreme Court seat.
And Obama’s pick appears to be no friend of the Second Amendment or private gun ownership rights.
At a morning press conference in the White House Rose Garden on Wednesday, Obama formally announced his nomination of federal appeals court judge Merrick Garland to the Supreme Court.
The pick sets up a confrontation with Republicans leaders, who say they will refuse to consider his nomination in an election year.
Garland, 63, is the chief judge for the United States Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit, a court whose influence over federal policy and national security matters has made it a proving ground for potential Supreme Court justices.
He would replace conservative Justice Antonin Scalia, who died unexpectedly last month, leaving behind a bitter election-year fight over the future of the court.
Garland will be a hard sell to the Republicans that control the Senate, which must confirm any nominee, because of Garland’s opposition to the Second Amendment.
According to The National Review, “Garland has a long record, and, among other things, it leads to the conclusion that he would vote to reverse one of Justice Scalia’s most important opinions, D.C. vs. Heller, which affirmed that the Second Amendment confers an individual right to keep and bear arms.”
In 2007, Garland supported upholding a Washington, DC gun law that was called the most restrictive in the nation. The law, eventually struck down, banned private ownership of handguns and wouldn’t let citizens even keep them in their homes.
Garland also supported other restrictive gun control measures during the Clinton administration.
“Garland thought all of these regulations were legal, which tells us two things,” the National Review wrote. “First, it tells us that he has a very liberal view of gun rights, since he apparently wanted to undo a key court victory protecting them. Second, it tells us that he’s willing to uphold executive actions that violate the rights of gun owners.”
GOP leaders want to leave the Supreme Court choice to the next president, denying Obama a chance to alter the ideological balance of the court before he leaves office next January. Republicans contend that a confirmation fight in an election year would be too politicized.

They talk about diversity. Yet if confirmed he will be the 4th Jewish-American justice on the supreme court. 4 justices that represent a group that is about 2% of the U.S. population. There are no Protestant folks on the U.S. Supreme Court, even though they represent about 70% of our population. I firmly believe that ethnicity should have nothing to do with hiring. Only qualifications. However, our courts and politicians order cities and states to hire based on ethnicity to reflect population groups. Yet, their high court nominations do not.
William Dechert says
Agreed!
ILLINOIS BOB says
Garland will never pass muster and will be denied approval by Congress. Just le the system play out and it will be mid-January 2017 before we know it and the new president will be able to appoint someone else, more befitting a Antonin Scalia model.
Jim Brannon says
We will not get a Scalia from President Clinton, after Trump does a Goldwater in November, and hands a Senate majority to the Crats; better take this centrist while we can…we already know the judges put in by the Clintons.
Carl says
Taking what is offered is what got us in this mess to start with. Capitulation is not the way to win at anything. Ever go to the football stadium for you favorite sports team and you cheer when you team is down 21 points and they walk off the field? I think the pure anger we are seeing in the primaries is evident. If You think Hillary can win the General after watching an avowed Socialist give Clinton a run for the money and all the ESTABLISHED politicians being sent to the showers, then I guess I must have missed something. What is happening is multifaceted and I use a three legged milking stool as the example. If one leg of the stool fails the stool is worthless. The three legs are Big Business ( K Street and Chamber of Commerce) ; Big media ( The 90% progressive papers and so called News outlets) Finally Big Government-This should be self explanatory. I believe in the Follow the Money trail to explain it all. There is literally Billions on the line to be made or lost if this Stool is broken. And Broken it needs to be.
james says
Centrist? Do you know his take on the 2nd ammendment? He’s no centrist.
Gerry says
What drug are you on ?????? We do NOT need to settle for this obozo/clinton corrupt puppet judge and the ” witch ” will NOT be our next president. The only thing settling for crap will do is get you more crap.
ILLINOIS BOB says
Not a chance …. Trump is no Goldwater. WE THE PEOPLE will make it so.
Duane Petersen says
One thing about it as long as this POS is nominated Obama (and the Senate sits on it) can’t nominate anyone else.
Eleanor says
That’s true, and if congress is smart, they’ll drag it out. Scuttlebutt is that the democrat
“fix” for Hillary is already in Has to do with the delegates “earned”. I posted weeks ago that the ant-Trump establishment will use every dirty trick they can think of to keep Trump out. Every time one of these snakes come up for re-election I intend to vote against him or her! I am southerly fed up with the corruption these “trusted servants of the people” are showing us! They have failed us, so they no longer deserve our respect, or our support. That is the reason we want business and career people nominated, over their establishment professional politicians. The “silent majority” is no longer silent!! We are ANGRY! WE ARE FED UP WITH THEM – BIG TIME! Okay, Trumpsters, let’s show everyone a MAJOR landslide!! A landslide like they’ve never seen before! We can do it!! And we’ll bury these anti-Trump, oath breaking, backstabbing, lying GOP establishment, liberal media, and DEMS under it!!
Bob says
Another Fork stuck into our diminishing constitution!! Lets keep the guns in the hands of the criminals who have unregistered weapons and take the guns off the ones who are registered to protect themselves. Every thing is Ass backwards!!! This is no President. He is a nothing but a figure head for the Elites. They all need to be hung for high treason.
pop diesel says
THERE SHOULD BE NO SUPRISE HERE. THE MOST USLESS PRESIDENT IN AMERICAS HISTORY IS DOING EXACTLY WHAT HE SAID HE WAS GOING TO DO DURNING HIS FIRST CANPAGIN. FURTHER, THERE SHOULD BE NO SUPRISE THAT THE “REPUBLICAN” ESTABLISHMENT HAS DONE NOTHING THEY SAID THEY WOULD DO WHEN THEY WERE ELECTED. JUST GUESSING HERE, BUT THIS NOMINEE WILL PROBABLY GET VOTED IN WITH OUT CONTEST, AND THEN THE REPUBLICANS WILL START WHINING ABOUT NOT GETTING THEIR WAY,(AFTER THEY VOTED HIM IN), AND WERE RAIL ROADED….AGAIN. I’M A CONSERVATIVE, BUT I’M NOT TOO OPTIMISTIC AS FAR AS THIS GOES
D Zimmerman says
PopDiesel: you are right on , including the whining republican congress .
Go Texas!
AmericanRebel says
Amen! Very few people remember Obma and Michelle proudly announcing how they hated the”American” ways and how if elected they would employ measures to knock America down to a 3rd world country like most of the world!!! Obma has instilled racialism, AAA to AA economy, violates the constitution, has the “young” folk believing everything should be given to them for nothing, morals are bad, and no one should have rights protected unless it is personally good for them alone!
The Obma’s have more money than The Tresury but won’t put out for our veterans that gave so he/they can have all the riches as a King, which he counts himself by the way. He has destroyed most of what America use to stand for and made America a mockery in the eyes of the other nations throughout the world!!!
From how the next Presidential elect coming up look they (doesn’t matter the party name) look to be following suit with Obma’s plan to destroy America! Wish God would help us, but God allows one to choose to love and serve Him. (Like America use to allow one to choose freedom).
Bill says
So true!
X-Pilot says
What American Rebel said
Bernie says
This country is fucked up, but not because of Obama! The blame rests squarely on the shoulders if you ignorant white folks. The Republicans are a classic example of cutting off your nose to spite your face! They are truly the new niggaz! The whole world knows it. They have made mockery of themselves and the nation. Get a life of your own and stop stressing over Obama. He will be fine after he leaves office. No thanks to the ingrates of this nation!
Jeanette says
There is also this question: Why are the elites supporting the importation of huge populations likely to contain a much higher percentage of terrorists than the US population, while at the same time trying to disarm America?
I can only think of one reason – they want the population of America replaced with Other than Americans.
Why? We can’t know that unless and until information currently hidden from us becomes public. But
what is already public is their actions, and Bring in terrorist + disarm Americans = bad news for Americans.
Armarius says
Jeannette ! You ask why…& yes we do know why. The information is known & not hidden from us. Think back now,
how many of our American & World so called leaders have openly stated that they are working for ‘A NEW WORLD ORDER’ ?
In this so called ‘New World Order’…there will be no room for a strong Constitutional America, which would, by it’s very
nature, defy being ruled by these so called elites on a global scale.
Pick up a copy of the book, ‘The True Story of The Bilderberg Group’ by Author: Daniel Estulin
It spells out what these global monsters have planned, accomplished so far, & what they intend to do in the near future.

I am sure lots of good people will supply the ropes.
Larry says
Personally, I think we talk a lot but we are a do-nothing country with a do-nothing Congress and a President that has made a mockery of the US Constitution and has no respect for the rules under which our government has thrived for more than 200 years.
Philip says
AGREE 100% Hang all the the treasons bunch, being betrayed by
100 Senators, vote up or down And have a population as of July 4, 2015 was: 321,442,019. TERM LIMITS for ALL politicians, and Supreme Court Justices as well, “NO MORE LIFE APOINTMENTS”
Wayne Beahr says
Thank you Phillip we need term limits on the presidential ballot so the American people
has a say. The things we have in congress will never allow term limits.
Kris says
Term limits are already in place. It’s called the voting booth. Shame on We The People for allowing this cancer to metastasize.
Before you ask for term limits, ask yourself if you really want career civil service employees that can’t ever be accountable to the public, running the Country? Just asking that we think these things through.
Janice kolacy says
Nobody should have a life appointment…it is time to make this change now and to limit time in office of all in office ..the only way we can take back the government is to get those strong group favorites out ….no More over 8 years on office for Any branch of government excluding the Supreamist court rector active…
Joe C says
I agree. I think term limits should be placed on appointments to the Supreme court and all elected positions. We have a bunch of good old boys taking care of each other. I wish my AF retirement was anywhere close.
Jake says
No Judge should have the power to change the 2nd Amendment.
trumpt blast says
The life time appointmet was set so that socialist like obuma could npot force out everyone that did not see things his way !!! Think about it if o could have ejected Scalia and replace him with his present choice while the dems held control of Congress we would have been at war for the last 5 years with DC to get our freedoms back !!so we need that lifetime appointment but now it should be done by us the voter’s not the president and Congress. !!!!
Nancy E. Dike says
I could not agree more!!
Cowboy says
That’s for sure. Congress will sit back and watch the enemy be-head AMERICANS BUT SINCE THERE’S ONE RUNNING LOOSE IN THE WHITE HOUSE,, THEY DON’T WON’T TO CONVICT HIM FOR ALL THE CRIMES HE’S COMMITTED.. AND YES OF COURSE HILLARY CLINTON…. SHE DEFINITELY DOES NOT NEED TO BE PRESIDENT BECAUSE ALL SHE WILL HAVE TO DO IS STEP INTO THE OFFICE AND PICKUP WHERE OBAMA LEAVES OFF.. PEOPLE,, THE UNITED STATES CANNOT STAND 4 OR 8 MORE YEARS OF OBAMA AND HILLARY.. THINK ABOUT IT,, PRAY ABOUT IT..
KEEP HILLARY CLINTON OUT OF THE WHITE HOUSE!!!!!!!!
FRED says
AGREE 1000% , TRUMP 2016
Rose says
Very good point
M.V.D says
If is against the Second Amendment, he should be terminated as a. Judge.
Larry says
I agree with MVD. Any judge that is not willing to support and uphold the Constitution and the Bill of Rights does not need to be a judge. In fact, such a judge would be incapable of discharging his office.
trumpt blast says
The bill of Rights does not grant us those Rights !!! It list the Rights that we had before the constitution was written !! And it was determined that those rights needed to no put in writing as a protection against future leader’s possible attacks on our God given Rights !!but obuma refuses to see this as he wants contraveristy as his idol alinsky taught while he was an organizer in Chicago slums !!!
M.V.D says
If is against the Second Amendment, he should be terminated as a. Judge.
Jorge de zamacona says
When we start talking about ethnicity we create separation and distinction amongst citizens. RACE AND RELIGION shouldn’t be taken into account; only thing that should be considered is whether the person is qualified and whether the person is an American.
Pete Daily says
I seriously doubt that the Senate will approve the nomination. Any Republican who supports it will have a hard time getting re-elected.
Jim says
Hay Pete, If that were true then how come Obama care is still around? We have to many good old boy RINO’S in the Senate. Now that scares me !!!
D. Mark says
Let our new President fill the seat, you know we cannot trust Obama?
Jim says
What if its hillery? They should come out with a doll with hillery on one side and our figure head president on the other. They are one and the same!!
Jim says
What if its hillery? The trouble is that we have to many RINO’S in the senate. Now that scares me !!!
trumpt blast says
LET the PEOPLE pick the JUSTICE’S just as WE DO every 2 year’s all we need is to change the constitution from presidential appointment to a general election as needed but leave the lifetime appointment untouched in order to keep political influences out of the equation as intended by the founding father’s !!!
Don says
You are absolutely correct. The liberal left would like to extend the Defacto ‘QUOTA’ system (which the Democrats like to use such terms as ‘Inclusion’ and ‘Diversity’) to promote homosexuals, Muslims, transvestites, and every fringe group in this country until there is no room left for conservatism.
Susan says
While I agree in general that any quota system is wrong I should point out that I have known homosexuals who are gun-owning, pro-2nd Amendment conservatives. I also currently know 2 transgendered individuals who are also gun-owning, pro-2nd Amendment conservatives. While you may disagree with (or even hate) their lifestyles, they are not your enemy.
L. Shamus McQuade says
Very True indeed
bre says
YEP OUTRAGOUS!
Bill says
I personally don’t give a rats-ass if a sitting Justice was a Jew, Catholic, Protestant or an agnostic or atheist. So, everyone knows, I don’t prefer agnostics or atheists, but I might not complain as long as the judge was a decent man or woman, which had the peoples interests uppermost in mind and supported the United States Constitution with his life and honor, which would probably eliminate all democrats anyway because the only principle they subscribe to is meaningless chaos! I do think, for whatever it is worth, Republicans ought to have the power to round up not only illegal Mexicans, but every last Democrat on earth no matter whey they live and consign them all to a place they can not do any more harm to themselves or others. Awww what the hell if we went that far we should go on ahead and round up the nut cases in the Black Panthers, Black lives matter, NCAAP; in fact why stop there?
Main Street says
I agree Bill: However at test time for a public service job, checking off the right box for ethnicity determines if one gets a job or not. These judges say that our police, fire, transit workers must be diverse. Yet, our Supreme Court looks nothing like most of America. 50% of the court looks like 1.9% of our population. They should practice what they preach.
nj says
O. is just throwing candidates out there who are so far from being approved that he hopes he can then slide a lessor evil in on sighs of relief that they aren’t as bad as the last candidate.
Great points, Main St.
David says
Since when is s persons ethinic or race more important than their willingness to uphold our Constitution and the rights with in?!!
Kelly Brown says
You make an EXCELLENT point. Not that there is anything wrong with being Jewish or with being Catholic. But the Court needs DIVERSITY if it is to better represent ALL Americans.
james says
Centrist? Do you know his take on the 2nd ammendment? He’s no centrist.
J Graham says
The very real problem with the appointment is the Republicans who consider the nominee to be a “Moderate” that might please Moderate Republicans. He is a trojan horse posing as a moderate. ANY judge that apposes one part of the Constitution is apposed to the Constitution. It really is as simple as that. Any judge that will put aside one part of the Constitution for political purposes will certainly put aside others for political purposes. I am a Democrat that will vote Republican this year for that reason. We simply cannot afford twor three more appointments of those who do not support the Constitution. And we know Damn well Hillary Clinton does not give a rats patute about the Constitution. Remember all you supposed conservative Republican if you care about the Constitution you better get out and vote. And no matter who wins I hope some Republicans will grow a set and back up what they preach with what they do. No matter who wins the President’s office do NOT confirm anyone who does not support the Constitution in its entirety. Hopefully we can count on a few Democrats to do the same, but I have not seen much from my own party for the last eight years. If Republicans were not so mealy mouthed about what they stand for on the Constitution I would change Parties.
Main Street says
Nothing better to show the imperfection of our nation than judicial nominations. They are picked mostly by political associations than legal qualifications. In some European lands, judges are civil service posts. One has to pass many tests and exams to be a judge. In many ways we still are in the 19th century.
George says
“Muslim” Obama appoints his 3rd jewish SC justice in a row.LMAO.
Philip says
Muslim, Obama needs to be tried and convicted and hung for TREASON. He hide’s all his records from we the people,
no one really knows who he is, he is a liar, when he opens his mouth out comes out a whopper LIE.
Dave Rooster Pitts says
You are right on Philip…!!! My thoughts exactly…!!! He is the most unqualified president this country has ever had..!!! He should be tried for treason and deported…!!!
Roy Fredrichsen says
Maybe WE might consider electing ALL Washington representatives INCLUDING the Supreme Court Justices. That way WE ALL can be assured that they are not politically motivated.
Main Street says
Roy: I don’t know about electing justices. However a European style civil service type model is good. Exams that determine legal knowledge and psychological balance would be an improvement. Far better than some lawyer who makes a good political connection.
Constitutionalist says
Agreed. Vetting ALL candidates for elected, appointed, or hired office is an extremely wise thing to do – and for those in crucial positions, e.g. SCOTUS – psychological testing should be mandatory.
trumpt blast says
It would be better to let we the people decide who would best judge the lawfulness of all laws passed by congress than the system that has been corrupted by political influence in the Whitehouse such as we see now !!! And no party afliation needed dust their stand on the constitution and justice !!!
Alan Humphries says
Everyone needs to call and write your Senators and demand they refuse this pick or face the wrath of the voters. Everyone that pays attention knew the dictator would nominate an anti-second amendment.He wants our guns.A disarmed populous is a servant populous.This must NEVER go forward.
CSM says
“Amen” to that !
Debbie says
You are correct!
Hitler actually hired thugs to frighten and intimidate the Jews.
They were so frightened and over whelmed they gave up “their guns” because Hitler said he would protect them!
…well we know he didn’t!
The rest is history.
Martha says
Same thing happened in Cuba & look how is the Island & in Venezuela
Peters says
History can be, and is, a GREAT teacher — if we would only listen and LEARN! What better way to control a populace than by first DISARMING them!
Bruce says
Yeah if the Jews kept their guns the nazis would have been defeated without WWII.
That’s farcical !.
james says
The Hitler refrences are old and tired. Get over it already!
Kathy says
He who doesn’t learn the lessons history has taught is doomed to repeat them!!!!!
James Maxwell says
A judge who refuses to follow and acknowledge all of the United States Constitution and The Bill of Rights cannot and
must not be allowed to sit on the Supreme Court in any capacity. We have enough individuals who oppose
out Nation in public office and holding sway over the land in violation of our rights and freedoms as Americans.
They refuse to uphold the U.S. Constitution and put their personal feeling aside. Any judge who cannot do that must
be disallowed and denied any standing in our court system to the determent of the United States Citizens period..
Deborah says
Amen !
fwoodring says
We, the people, need to start getting signatures and take control of our country in every way.
Constitutionalist says
James-
i absolutely agree.
When i read the Horn article, however, one sentence leapt out at me:
D.C. vs. Heller, which affirmed that the Second Amendment confers an individual right to keep and bear arms.
This statement is both inaccurate and misleading; it turns the Purpose of the Constitution on it’s head.
The F&F were well-aware of the tendencies of ALL governments toward evil, and wanted restrictions ON GOV’T ACTORS to be paramount. They also believed that Rights come from God, and not the government. “and governments are instituted among men to secure these rights,” if i recall that portion of the DoI correctly.
What this means is that the Right to defend yourself, your family, your neighborhood, your city, county, parish, State or country against tyrants of ALL stripes -whether a common criminal, a street thug, a gang of thugs, or a gang of bullies with badges – is a “natural right” that does not COME from government. Our Natural Rights come from Our Creator, not government agents OR their paperwork.
SCOTUS once made the proper decision in a casec alled “US v. Cruikshank.” Here are the relevant details:
“[The Right to Keep and Bear Arms] is not a right granted by the Constitution. Neither is it in any manner dependent upon that instrument for its existence. The second amendment declares that it shall not be infringed;… This is one of the amendments that has no other effect than to restrict the powers of the national government,…”. U.S. v. Cruikshank Et Al. 92 U.S. 542 (1875).
Now go and re-read that sentence to which i object; see? It completely turns the 1875 decision on it’s head, and asserts that the Constitution GRANTS rights, instead of simply restricting the Federal Government actors from screwing with the ones given by our Creator, as was originally intended.
“In questions of power, then, let no more be said of confidence in man, but bind him down from mischief by the chains of the Constitution.”
— Thomas Jefferson(1743-1826), US Founding Father, drafted the Declaration of Independence, 3rd US President
“No one can read our Constitution without concluding that the people who wrote it wanted their government severely limited; the words ‘no’ and ‘not’ employed in restraint of government power occur 24 times in the first seven articles of the Constitution and 22 more times in the Bill of Rights.”
— Rev. Edmund A. Opitz(1914-2006) American minister, author
Always remember and never forget: you have NO “Constitutional Rights.” You never have had, and never will have. What you DO have are Natural Rights given by God that agents of the USG swear on oath to “preserve, protect, and defend” “against ALL enemies, foreign and DOMESTIC.” These Rights long PRECEDED the formation of all governments, and will long outlast them, as well.
What we have are Constitutionally SECURED rights, but these rights are ONLY as secure as the honor and integrity of those who swear fealty to that document and it’s principles.
This is the main reason why, IMO, that government officeholders should be as routinely arrested, tried and convicted as are perjurers, and for the same exact reason: lying under Oath.
As far as i am concerned, this would be a) the reason why all officeholders – whether elected, appointed, or hired – are required to take the oath in the FIRST place, and b) the last possible lawful means to rein in those destructive of the Constitution and our Natural Rights short of armed revolution.
If i were in charge, i would have raked Scalia over the coals for not simply re-affirming Cruikshank, then given him the opportunity to retract his statement about the 2nd “conferring” a Right – or face those aforementioned perjury charges…conviction of which would terminate his position on SCOTUS, as well as all those who agreed with that position.
The bottom line is that Rights are not “conferred” by gov’t actors or their paperwork. Neither can they be removed by the same, save on conviction of a felony involving damage to life, liberty, or property.
Kathy says
Excellent comment!!!!
Deborah says
Merrick Garland – Check him out – Anti Gun and affiliation with International Brotherhood of Muslims!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
This is not a good pick for a Surpeme Court Judge unless you want your gun taken away and like Sharia Law!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
George says
Garland is jewish Bubba
spike says
being Jewish does not preclude supporting the Muslim Brotherhood. They will trade anyone and anything for their own personal power and money. They have their own brotherhood and they exist almost entirely to wash each others hands.
Bruce says
Jibberish!
Jim Evans says
Just because he was nominated by the nations first idiot, it doesn’t mean that he will be approved.
Ron says
Once again this President reaffirms his distain for America and its people!
Lets just hope and pray that the American people do not reelect Obama with a skirt (oops pants)
Stand behind a warrior like Donald Trump not a mendacious person like Obama and Hillary Clinton.
Bruce says
Disdain for guns not people…. Duh….
William says
I respect the office of president but not the asshole that is in there now. I wished the GOP would get some balls and impeach the bastard now before he can do any more damage that the new pres. Will have to undo whom I hope will be Trump. Thank you
Main Street says
The announcement on tv reminds me of a snake oil salesman in an old western movie. So many words to praise a political flunky in a robe. Another dedicated public servant looking for a good government job. I notice how he and so many of our officials NEVER served in our military. Yet, they seek government jobs.
dee says
He has to undo all of the damage left by the regime that proceeded him. It’s time to stop placing blame and using Obama as the scapegoat for the nations ills. To thine own self be true. The truth will set you FREE. Not being black or white and placing bLame.
Kathy says
It’s time for the liberals to STOP blaming Bush for Obama’s LAWLESSNESS and FAILURES!!!!!!
Barack Obama appears to be a tormented man filled with resentment, anger, and disdain for anyone of an opinion or view other than his. He acts in the most hateful, spiteful, malevolent, vindictive ways in order to manipulate and maintain power and control over others. Perhaps, because, as a child, he grew up harboring an abiding bitterness toward the U.S. that was instilled in him by his family and mentors…it seems to have never left him.
It is not the color of his skin that is a problem in America. Rather it is the blackness that fills his soul and the hollowness in his heart where there should be abiding pride and love for this country.
Think: Have we ever heard Obama speak lovingly of the U.S. or its people, with deep appreciation and genuine respect for our history, our customs, our sufferings and our blessings? Has he ever revealed that, like most patriotic Americans, he gets “goose bumps” when a band plays “The Star Spangled Banner,” or sheds a tear when he hears a beautiful rendition of ” America the Beautiful?” Does his heart burst with pride when millions of American flags wave on a National holiday – or someone plays “taps” on a trumpet? Has he ever shared the admiration of the military, as we as lovers of those who keep us free, feel when soldiers march by?
It is doubtful because Obama did not grow up sharing our experiences or our values. He did not sit at the knee of a Grandfather or Uncle who showed us his medals and told us about the bravery of his fellow troops as they tramped through foreign lands to keep us free. He didn’t have grandparents who told stories of suffering and then coming to America, penniless, and the opportunities they had for building a business and life for their children. Away from this country as a young child, Obama didn’t delight in being part of America and its greatness. He wasn’t singing our patriotic songs in kindergarten, or standing on the roadside for a holiday parade and eating a hot dog, or lighting sparklers around a campfire on July 4th as fireworks exploded over head, or placing flags on the grave sites of fallen and beloved American heroes. Rather he was separated from all of these experiences and doesn’t really understand us and what it means to be an American. He is void of the basic emotions that most feel regarding this country and insensitive to the instinctive pride we have in our national heritage. His opinions were formed by those who either envied us or wanted him to devalue the United States and the traditions and patriotism that unite us.
He has never given a speech that is filled with calm, reassuring, complimentary, heartfelt statements about all the people in the U.S. Or one that inspires us to be better and grateful and proud that in a short time our country became a leader, and a protector of many. Quite the contrary, his speeches always degenerate into mocking, ridiculing tirades as he faults our achievements as well as any critics or opposition for the sake of a laugh, or to bolster his ego. He uses his Office to threaten and create fear while demeaning and degrading any American who opposes his policies and actions. A secure leader, who has noble self-esteem and not false confidence, refrains from showing such dread of critics and displaying a cocky, haughty attitude.
Mostly, his time seems to be spent causing dissension, unrest, and anxiety among the people of America, rather than uniting us (even though he was presented to us as the “Great Uniter”). He creates chaos for the sake of keeping people separated, envious, aggrieved and ready to argue. Under his leadership Americans have been kept on edge, rather than in a state of comfort and security. He incites people to be aggressive toward, and disrespectful of, those of differing opinions. And through such behavior, Obama has lowered the standards for self-control and mature restraint to the level of street-fighting gangs, when he should be raising the bar for people to strive toward becoming more considerate, tolerant, self-disciplined, self-sustaining, and self-assured. Not a day goes by that he is not attempting to defy our laws, remove our rights, over-ride established procedures, install controversial appointees, enact divisive mandates, and assert a dictatorial form of power.
• Never has there been a leader of this great land who used such tactics to harm and hurt the people and this country.
• Never have we had a President who spoke with a caustic, evil tongue against the citizenry rather than present himself as a soothing, calming and trustworthy force.
• Never, in this country, have we experienced how much stress one man can cause a nation of people – on a daily basis!
Obama has promoted the degeneration of peace, civility, and quality of cooperation between us. He thrives on tearing us down, rather than building us up. He is the Architect of the decline of America, and the epitome of a Demagogue
Bevy says
Yes, and Amen. He should never have won the second term. Who voted for him. Not the people, but the electoral votes and that is not the people’s vote.
Main Street says
A politically connected yes man. Your “honor” indeed.
Gary says
Obama is a Trojan horse, a tyrant, an illegal POTUS and he also has done more damage to this once great nation than 1000 911’s!
Peters says
This was no “accident” or incidental, Gary! The damage he has done to this country (which has been monumental) has all been accomplished according to his original agenda! He SAID he would bring “change to America” and that has been his plan from the very beginning — even BEFORE he was elected to the White House the FIRST time! As for gun control, how better to control a populace than by first disarming them?
There should be NO appointment to the Supreme Court until after the new administration is sworn in!!!!!
scot says
be prepared for revolution
Fedup says
Barack, stick it where the sun doesn’t shine, you Jerk!
Dennis says
Obama is a Islamic muslim who is playing us using Jews to make American hate them or reject them. Most jewish are liberal and Obama knows this and wants to explode this into a political mess. Judge Garland is not fit for the US Supreme court not because he is a jew but because of his anti constitutional background. He is anti guns all the way so 2nd Amendment would be in trouble if confirmed.
SO, I hope and pray that Senator Grassley holds true to his promise to us Americans and Iowans who put him in office that he would not allow ANY nominee’s Obama brings forth would not be confirmed nor brought before the Senate. The Republican Senate must hold true to what we Americans have told them and that is NO nominee’s until after the election. So we must all write and call our elected officials and reinforce what they have promise us.. Politics establishment and elites and their secrete societies are behind these men and women trying to bring our country down… So call, write and demand our elected officials make sure there are NO confirmations until after the elections and the new President has taking office…

For the likes of me I cannot understand why Obama hasn’t been impeached! I mean come on America! Have you been force fed political correctness and mind washed by the government controlled mainstream media? Obama needs to be impeached, taken out on a rail, tried and convicted. This also holds true for Hillary Clinton. My God people what in the hell has happened to all of you? Screw being politically correct. Our country has been torn to shreds by Obama. We have a serious problem in allowing these damn illegal federal law breakers to come and go into our country. Along with these illegals brings disease, crime, drugs and a host of other unchecked UN-vetted problems. These inept’s and illiterates alongside of George Soros and least we forget Bill Ayers have honed this 1/2 black, 1/2 white pretender-in-chief to destroy this nation and allow for a One World Order. There are so many things wrong with our government that it will take a civil war to end the tyranny. Take my guns? Try and take my freedom and you will face the consequences. I swore oath to protect this country and I will be damned if I let a corrupt government tell me what to do and how to act. I act just fine knowing that my country is safe and that it’s government is secure for the people. It isn’t!
Constitutionalist says
Salil-
i can explain it, though you may be better-served by googling “Edwin Vieira” along with “impeachment” to read his scholarly article(s) on the subject.
The gist is pretty simple:
If you “impeach” D’OweBama, you are implicitly acknowledging his right to the presidency in the first place.
He is not now, nor ever was qualified to hold the office, not being a “natural born” citizen, which requires that BOTH parents be citizens at the time of the child’s birth.
He should simply be arrested, tried, and convicted like any common criminal – whether for Fraud(since he obtained the office fraudulently), Perjury(for lying under his oath of office from the time he uttered the words “I, Barack Hussein Obama”), or Treason, for he has bragged about supplying arms to both the Muslim Brotherhood AND ISIS/ISIL – the latter, he also supplied with training, ammunition and munitions, vehicles, and money.
Personally, i prefer my method of getting rid of the punk: Have a brave Federal judge examine all the evidence in re: Barry Soetoro(and other aliases), conclude that D’OweBama lied under oath(on multiple occasions prior to his swearing-in ceremony in 2009), then sign an eviction order which he then hands to Federal Marshals, who simply locate the Fraudster, invite him to leave peacefully and promise to eff him up joyfully if he refuses, then identify all his crap, carry it out of the White House, and stack it on the curb in front of 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue – while the media of every country gawk in wonder and pleasure as they film and broadcast this version of American Justice. But this should only take place IAW Due Process – that is, D’OweBama should first be given a 30-day notice of eviction, then proceed with the Marshals should the idiot refuse to go.

We have an idiot as a president. No, we as American, believing in the Constitution, will not accept this person as a Supreme Judge. We believe in FREEDOM. We believe in the Second Amendment!.I think Trump has what it takes to stand up for AMERICA!!! NOW IS THE TIME TO IMPEACH THE IDIOT OF A PRESIDENT WE HAVE1111
Peters says
Wanda, make no mistake. The current occupant of the WH is not an idiot. Sly…..sneaky…..liar….an excellent orator….(Hitler was all of these things too)……….but definitely NOT an idiot! Should he be impeached? DEFINITELY! No question about that. He SHOULD be tried for Treason ….and so should Hillary! Bill has already lost his license to ever practice law again….and he GOT OFF EASY! And all the time, who was “pushing his buttons” — why, Mrs HILLARY of course!!! Bill was simply HER ticket to the White House! NOW she is looking to BUY HER OWN TICKET! MAY GOD HELP OUR BELOVED COUNTRY!
Justin W says
I’m surprised by the president’s choice. I figured he would nominate a moderate to slightly conservative judge to split the Republicans on whether to consider the nomination or not. I guess the president decided to go for the extreme rather than the mainstream.
If Mitch has enough votes against this pick maybe he should grant the president’s wish and consider this judge. With all the election year breaks, the Senate hearings could delay the vote on this until September. At that point the gun rights advocates can turn this into an election issue and go after the senators who vote to confirm this judge. Democrat senators would be left with a hard choice–do they support their president’s Supreme Court pick or do they give the NRA ammunition that can be used for their defeat. With it being an election year, Democrat senators up for re-election may break with their president. This would also deprive the Democrats from using this as an issue against Republicans.
If Mitch has the votes to vote against this man’s confirmation he could turn this into an election year bonanza for Republicans.

I Googled up this nominee. Read:
by Carrie Severino March 11, 2016 8:21 PM As the White House prepares to choose a nominee for the Supreme Court, they are continuing to suggest that they might nominate a supposed “moderate.” But Garland has a long record, and, among other things, it leads to the conclusion that he would vote to reverse one of Justice Scalia’s most important opinions, D.C. vs. Heller, which affirmed that the Second Amendment confers an individual right to keep and bear arms. Back in 2007, Judge Garland voted to undo a D.C. Circuit court decision striking down one of the most restrictive gun laws in the nation. The liberal District of Columbia government had passed a ban on individual handgun possession, which even prohibited guns kept in one’s own house for self-defense. A three-judge panel struck down the ban, but Judge Garland wanted to reconsider that ruling. He voted with Judge David Tatel, one of the most liberal judges on that court. As Dave Kopel observed at the time, the “[t]he Tatel and Garland votes were no surprise, since they had earlier signaled their strong hostility to gun owner rights” in a previous case. Had Garland and Tatel won that vote, there’s a good chance that the Supreme Court wouldn’t have had a chance to protect the individual right to bear arms for several more years. Moreover, in the case mentioned earlier, Garland voted with Tatel to uphold an illegal Clinton-era regulation that created an improvised gun registration requirement. Congress prohibited federal gun registration mandates back in 1968, but as Kopel explained, the Clinton Administration had been “retaining for six months the records of lawful gun buyers from the National Instant Check System.” By storing these records, the federal government was creating an informal gun registry that violated the 1968 law. Worse still, the Clinton program even violated the 1994 law that had created the NICS system in the first place. Congress directly forbade the government from retaining background check records for law abiding citizens. Garland thought all of these regulations were legal, which tells us two things. First, it tells us that he has a very liberal view of gun rights, since he apparently wanted to undo a key court victory protecting them. Second, it tells us that he’s willing to uphold executive actions that violate the rights of gun owners. That’s not so moderate, is it?

If all of us sit at our computers and bitch without calling our reps. in the Senate some of this is OUR fault. We need to call and make sure the Senate puts their big girl panties on and fight for what WE THE PEOPLE WANT – and it is not a Supreme Court Judge that does not support our Constitution.
ANTICRIME says
IF THE SUPREME COURT is purposely ‘loaded’ with leftist liberals who will ‘interpret’ our U.S. Constitution to reflect their ‘personal leftist feelings’ instead of our founders’ actual INTENT, then the court will have NO CREDIBILITY with the people they are supposed to be serving!
BOTTOM LINE: People that have lost their credibility are…..IGNORED!!!!!
Bruce says
Perhaps the country is moving strongly to the left and leaving you people in the dust!
john says
They pay you for this bruce?
Constitutionalist says
“people who have lost their credibility should be IGNORED!”
i disagree; those “judges” who have worked in open or secret to subvert, profane, end-around, remove from or add to the Constitution have arrogated powers they were not delegated, and are therefore in violation of their oaths of office; such as these should be IMMEDIATELY ARRESTED, TRIED, and CONVICTED of Felony Perjury for lying under oath, then permanently barred from any position of public trust because they BETRAYED that trust when first they violated that Oath.
Ignoring them won’t do, not at this stage. Most Americans, unaware of their power to hold office-holders to the terms of their agreement to be employed in the first place, have been ignoring Constitutional violations for far too long, which has led us down the primrose path to where we are now…on the verge of open, naked, tyranny – with not a shred of a pretense of honoring the Constitution to which they ALL swore oaths of fealty.
Oh, and not “as interpreted,” either, but as it IS; despite multiple SCOTUS rulings that have had the effect of changing the Constitution(they were NOT DELEGATED that power; some of them have USURPED that power to themselves with impunity, so far), no one yet has dared to confront them, much less arrest, try, convict, and REMOVE FROM THE BENCH all those who have dared to trample on their oath of office – they are NOT the lawMAKING branch, they are simply to judge whether or not a particular situation is lawful in terms of the Constitution AS IT IS. If you take a look at Article 3, this describes the powers conditionally delegated to SCOTUS; show me “interpret.” If it’s not in there(and it AIN’T), then NO SCOTUS judge has to lawful power to “interpret” SQUAT, and anyone who tries again should be immediately arrested for felony perjury, then on conviction, immediately removed from that office of public trust.

The Next President will Inherit Obama’s Recession, will inherit 18 Trillion deficit and blooded government employees + economic realities will put pressure on whoever the next president is and Mr. Obama WHO love this country so much is presenting a nominee an anti-second amendment, Mr. Obama wants our guns. A disarmed populous is a servant populous. “When tyranny becomes law, rebellion becomes duty”. This must NEVER go forward…but with no balls GOP ?….Viva USA, I am a DEMOCRAT, Latino 100% but AMERICAN FIRST
Bruce says
Obama’s recession??? That’s a laugh.
Lorraine E says
One of the appointed president’s highest priorities is to disarm innocent American citizens so that they will be sitting ducks for elimination by drug runners and criminals coming into our country across an open southern border, easy prey for all of the criminals he has been releasing from prisons, and victims for jihad by all of the muslims who he is moving into our country.
The goal is for us to be unable to defend ourselves from all of the murders who he is releasing into our country. It is imperative that we do not allow this administration to disarm us in anyway whatsoever. This is a time when every law abiding citizen should purchase as many guns and as much ammo as possible.
Something very bad is going to happen to us unless we are able to defend ourselves and our family.
Joanne says
I am fed up with Obama and his CROOKED political nominations past and present. I long for his last day in the WH. He has always been in my opinion the lowest, most deceitful, evil, and dispicable excuse for a man on this earth. He’s the puppet and those behind the scenes are pulling the strings. I view him as an angry black Muslim who pretends to be POTUS but doesn’t have a clue.
Dave Rooster Pitts says

Well we all must remember there will not be another president Obama has taken over practically everything and will continue to do dirt on the American people and that includes taking our guns and shooting us if they have to to get them. We vote these people in and if they don’t like what they are doing for the people, they tend to disappear or they die suddenly like the judge, now look at what he is going to do for cuba, see their is a reason for everything he does and it is definitely not for the sake of the people.God be with us!

Time to vote in a new Congress. All the old timers that are in longer than two terms should be voted out and sent into retirement. And two terms for Supreme Court Justices should also be enacted.

That means two (2) Justice positions need to be filled; and who`s on watch? Just a scenario folks ! eerrrr ????????????

This no surprise.

And believe it or not, such a place does indeed already exist: It’s called Prison.”
Kathy says
Excellent comment!!
BC says
This appointment by Obama is symptomatic of the whole liberal agenda obviously. Sheriff Joe Arpaio had it right when he stated: “A liberal paradise would be a place where everybody has guaranteed employment, free comprehensive healthcare, free education, free food, free housing, free clothing, free utilities, and only law enforcement has guns. And believe it or not, such a place does indeed already exist: It’s called Prison.”
The_State_Paradox says
A judge that has no respect or support for the actual U.S. Constitution, Yeah. And yet so many will still
spout guff about Obama being so wonderful, creating jobs and being a proponent of American Values.
Are the people REALLY this stupid or what?! What will it take for people to wake up and smell the Jihad that has been
enacted from within the White House itself?!
IMPEACH OBAMA ALREADY AND DO IT NOW.
The fact that not one Republican Member of The House or Senate has dared suggest Obama being Impeached is a clear and blatant show that no one will question any action taken by Emperor Hussein Obama or his corrupt administration. Trump is the only potential candidate for office that is not a career politician who seeks a slot on the list of Upper Echelon cronies.

Ya know what folks, Obama wants so badly to repeal the 2nd ammendment so that citizens can be unarmed for a government takeover. Then weád have what happened during Communism in Eastern Europe and other places for example. For example even 25 years after the fall of communism the most lethal weapon you can get in the republic of Hungary is a gas stun gun which shootes 3 meters and thats it. They protect the president of the USA with guns,why cant ordinary citizens protect themselves with guns? The president is not supposed to be above the common citizens. A leader should be a servant to all.

Consider: The numbers say that the democrats will control the Senate come JANUARY 1, AND Obama will be in office until approximately January 21. What SCOTUS nominee could he get thru in that three week period. The election of our congress persons is more critical than the election of the President.
vincent marcantelli says
Did Bush or even Clinton do such a UNDER HANDED TRICK to the in coming president……no, but this is what you people got when you elected and then did that stupid same thing over again. Look, lets cut the BS, and call this administration what it is……this WH hates this country, and if folks can’t hear or understand what’s this administration is doing and the MOST insulting part is that those folks are saying to us {[SCREW YOU], I hate you, I don’t care if you don’t like what I have done or what I have said, if you don’t like me sticking my finger in your eye…….so what!!!. My name is Obama, I’m black, and you white “folks” don’t like me, you have tried to stop me at every turn, and it’s so strange……..you have seen and found me out early on, but you were unable to stop me and what I have done…..again……[SCREW YOU, AMERICA] and my name is B.H. Obama, your first black president, and look what I’ve done, and you CAN’T STOP ME!]}.
Try and prove otherwise!!!!!!!.
Constitutionalist says
Actually, the current Republican-controlled Congress will certainly stop this guy from getting on the bench of the Supremes. They’ll either refuse to approve D’OweBama’s choice or simply ignore his recommendation until after he leaves office, as there are quite a few Congressional options available to delay even a vote on the issue.
As it stands now, no Republican worth his salt would vote for this obvious Oath-breaker(who, IMO, should be immediately arrested for felony perjury for even TRYING to eliminate the 2nd), so even if every Democrat AND independent voted in favor of this knucklehead, the Republicans would outvote them all, and deny that possibility.
In addition to THOSE options, they could ALSO vote that the Supreme Court may only have SEVEN justices on it, too, because it’s a Congressional power to choose the number of SCOTUS justices, and no one in any other branch can do a damned thing about it.
Henry Spath says
No surprise that the White House slug would pick someone that will possibly only support those ares OF THE CONSTITUTION THAT HE HIMSELF BELIEVES IN.. Just like the slug in the White House..

As a judge he should know he would be committing TREASON and violating an oath of office which could land him in jail or WORSE HANGED!
Getting sick of this negro tyrant who everyday sticks a middle finger at whites and wags his fingers were it not for whites this negro would be on welfare or drugs or dead of AIDS by now.
Constitutionalist says
Beano-
A point to consider: the ONLY crime that the Constitution defines is Treason. It does NOT say that opposing any Amendment is just cause for that charge to stick. That definition is found in Article 3(Judicial powers) under Section 3.
OTOH, i completely agree that for one who has sworn fealty to the Constitution AS IT IS as a condition of their lawful employment, he’s CERTAINLY guilty of Oath-Breaking for even TRYING to terminate the 2nd(and worse, engaging in a conspiracy to do so). Perjury is a Felony. IMO, he should immediately be arrested and tried for Felony Perjury. If he’s convicted, he’ll likely LOSE his cushy job and have to get honest employment elsewhere, someplace where betraying the public trust won’t matter so much. That, too, would eliminate his candidacy, and maybe put the fear of God into D’OweBama, as well – which would be a Good Thing.

About the guns.
Each time there is mass killing and particularly when this happens in the schools all the liberal media, liberal politicians, president Obama and his entourage escalate the efforts to ban the guns. But the gun is a mean not the reason of the mass killing. The truth is that the violence in the video-games, the television, the movies, etc. is the real reason, but they want to ban the mean, not the violence in the games, movies, television that is the real reason of this mass killing. Evidently they want the killing to persist.
Almost all the mass killing has been done with guns. Why so? Because in the games, movies, television most of the killings are do by guns. That is the prove that the choice of guns for killing comes from those sources were the violence is most of the time perpetrate with guns. Is the mathematical demonstration with no doubt that the violence in the media, games, television and movies is the real reason for the mass killing. Why the same politicians that want the ban on guns do not choose to ban the violence instead for avoiding that the children will be influence by it?
Is possible to kill in many different ways, guns are not the only way, is possible to use the fire, poisons and many more, but nobody is asking to ban the poisons. Why?
Why these liars go after the guns, a mean, and not against the real reasons provoking the killing?
Kathy says
The reason they’re so eager to disarm Americans is so they can finish the destruction of this country and leave all LEGAL Americans as targets for all of the illegals, terrorists and refugees (which are mostly terrorists)! As long as there are citizens who are proud of this country and refuse to give up their freedoms to the communists, muslims in charge, then their mission to turn this country into a third world hellhole (like the Arab, African, and socialist countries that the illegals and refugees are coming from) can’t be completed!! Why do you think the government is so eager to imprison or murder patriots or anyone who dares oppose their EVIL agenda??? The last laugh will be on them when they stand before God one day!!!! All of their evil deeds will be brought to light and they will be thrown in hell for all eternity!!

Scum hangs with scum, they are the only ones who can stand each other. It was a given that he would nominate some puppet judge but the question is why !!!!! I’m sure he realizes that Congress will deny this clown’s appointment but to what end. There is more to this game than meets the eye just like the past 7+ years.
wizard says
The Senate must do their job and fully investigate this nominee to properly vet him. Even then they are under no obligation to confirm the appointment if they do not believe him to be the right person for the job. The American people will hold them accountable. People are tired of politics as usual and seeing their freedoms and liberties gradually stolen from them. Obama would never nominate him but a Texas Judge by the name of Norman E. Lanford would be a great Supreme Court Justice.

You are a and have always been a disgrace to the office you hold. BTW, if you think trump would cause riots, just try and take our weapons. You have not even given a thought to how you are going to remove illegal guns held by criminals. Your about as dumb as a box of rocks. That goes for your pal Hillary too.
joe says
Well from what I have heard? All Americans are sticking to the wording in the second amendment. There is a special provision provided for the government. Also, It looks as though the police are saying they will be no part of enforcement. Listen very carefully, We being the Americans that you sir work for. We can also fire your butt. We will never ever hand our legal weapons over to you or your troops you send. It will never happen, really don’t care what some puppet judge says. If you haven’t noticed, we seem to do a pretty good job of banding together when necessary. I think now is a perfect time to begin impeachment proceedings with possible criminal charges. NOW who has the balls in Congress to do it?
joe says
IMPEACH OBAMA NOW!!!!!
Constitutionalist says
Joe says: IMPEACH OBAMA NOW!
Nah. Just arrest him, either for felony perjury(Oath-breaking) or simple Treason(he has repeatedly given aid and comfort to enemies of the United States).
If you “impeach” him, the very act of impeachment legitimizes his illegitimate presidency, because he’s not “natural born” as the First Congress, Second Session, defined the term – that is, born of TWO(count ’em, 2) US citizens – and the Supreme Law of the land makes this a MANDATORY condition of presidential eligibility.
And if you say “Well, that law is OLD, and no good anymore,” then tell my why the Senate, in S511(look it up; google can be your fr’en’), used this self-same law to legitimize McCain’s eligibility for president? (McCain was born in the Panama Canal zone, but to two US citizens, which is another precept this Law created.)
OTOH, by “impeach him now” you mean “get him the hell out of office by any lawful means necessary,” i completely agree.
Personally, i prefer the method i thought of: Have a Federal Judge with honesty and huge brass balls issue an eviction order, then give it to Federal Marshals to carry out; give the Current Occupant a 30 day notice to vacate, and if he refuses, send in the Marshals(aided by the military, if necessary) to forcibly evict him and his spend-a-holic wife, who will hopefully BOTH refuse to go, thus engendering a physical manhandling of them both as they’re dragged out; then, distinguish between THEIR stuff and the WH stuff, and stack all the D’OweBama’s crap on the curb, just like anyone ELSE who lies on their rental app.
