Supreme Court Fight

Obama has “done his duty” and nominated a judge for the Supreme Court, to replace the deceased Justice Antonin Scalia. Republicans, according to their promise, say they will NOT hold hearings for this nominee “under the Biden Rule.” You'll remember that Joe Biden, while still a senator, said you should NEVER confirm a Supreme Court nominee during the last year of a president's term. Of course, it was “different then,” and Democrats were then trying to defeat a Supreme Court nominee. Now the “shoe is on the other foot,” and REPUBLICANS are trying to defeat the nomination of a Supreme Court nominee in the last year of a DEMOCRAT administration. Whether or not they maintain their promise remains to be seen. The nominee, whose name I won't even bother to mention, is “Thought to be a moderate,” which is “Democratese” for, “:He's a flaming liberal, but we want to fool you into thinking he is not.” Obama says, “I've done my job, now the Congress should do theirs.” Believe me, Barack, they WILL “do theirs” when they BLOCK this nomination, IF they do. They have to CONSIDER your nominations. They DO NOT have to confirm them. (Town Hall)
