longest Supreme Court vacancy came in President Tyler's term. 1843-1845, the Senate rejected 9 nominations
Aside from being called douchebags and raked over the coals by the media, what's to keep the senate from doing that now?
Well Hillary always wanted to be on that court.
What a fine time for Obama to pick her and thus ensure she does not get "lost" in the scandal she has right now or the white house bid.
MCCONNELL on Scalia: "this vacancy should not be filled until we have a new President.”
Good, sounds like he's on the right side here
Self-preservation. Republican politicians obviously don't have the spines they once did.
Already some on the other side are cheering his passing.
Scalia was pro-2A right? I do seem to recall him being so and some of his writing.
Challenge accepted (in terms of how I plan to make my expectations of them clear).
RIP Scalia. I hope congress can block any nominations until after the election, although the libs could still win the election.
Wrap your tin foil hat around this one:My guess is that nothing will get through the approval process until AFTER the upcoming elections.
This is very bad for the 2A and freedom/liberty in general. He was a very well thought man who really pushed to keep the court to what it was supposed to be.
Already some on the other side are cheering his passing.
