Obama on court nominees, 2006. "I believe the Constitution calls for the Senate - to advise and consent.

As we all know, there's been a lot of discussion in the country about how the Senate should approach this confirmation process.

There are some who believe that the President, having won the election, should have the complete authority to appoint his nominee, and the Senate should only examine whether or not the Justice is intellectually capable and an all-around nice guy. That once you get beyond intellect and personal character, there should be no further question whether the judge should be confirmed.

I disagree with this view.

I believe firmly that the Constitution calls for the Senate to advise and consent.

I guess he's changed his mind now that he's President.

What? It is the Snate that is refusing to do its job! nm - VTMT

He lies and/or changes his mind when it suits his own warped agenda.

Advise and Consent is a movie; Advice and Consent is a legal concept - sm

Any supreme court nomination needs to be approved by the senate under the principle of Advice and Consent:

In the United States, "advice and consent" is a power of the United States Senate to be consulted on and approve treaties signed and appointments made by the President of the United States to public positions, including Cabinet secretaries, federal judges, United States Attorneys, and ambassadors.

He picks and chooses which part of the Constitution - Truthhurts

he wishes to recite and follow. All other sections are ignored, especially the section that only gives Congress the right to make or change the laws.

homophobe in US history. Former Rep.

The "non-autopsy" Of Justice Scalia Is Disturbing.Feb 20, 2016

The Scalia Seat: Let The People SpeakMar 07, 2016
Republicans and Democrats are deeply divided over the proper role of the Supreme Court. President Obama and Democrats favor justices who see the Constitution as a potter sees clay—something that can be molded to achieve their desired results. This has led the Supreme Court to invent rights that are nowhere in the Constitution—like the right to an abortion or to same-sex marriage—and ignore or restrict rights that even nonlawyers can’t miss—like the First and Second Amendments. Rep ...

Justice For Some RacistsFeb 27, 2017
Nice story on Fox News Atlanta today. "A judge sentenced two people to prison Monday for their involvement in a confrontation at a child's birthday party that involved weapons and the Confederate flag." These two racist redneck yokels were part of a mob driving around waving Confederate flags and yelling the N-word at people. Nothing sweeter than the tears of racist rednecks getting their comeuppance for their act of terrorism against their fellow citizens. Story: http://www.fox5atlanta ...

It goes for all who have used the legal system to get off Scot free. Even Blogovitch from Illinois seems to think he did nothing wrong and wants them to release him. Glad I don't live in that state.
