seems like every mouth breather for the GOP thinks that POTUS should wait on the SCOTUS appointment….. in short… fuck them. POTUS gets to nominate and you get to be asshats in front of the public again, making up shit about people who do more to serve our nation by interpreting the law than you grandstanding fucksticks.

Schumer is saying that asking the President to wait to nominate a candidate for the court, is unprecedented. Maybe tomorrow we can hear Chuck say what is different now, then all the white Presidents before him.
Adam L Silverman
@efgoldman: he should nominate Senator Cruz. It will cause the meltdown of meltdowns. Senator Cruz holds himself out as both a scholar of the Constitution and a strict Constitutionalist. If you read most conservative/right wing comment sections you’ll often see remarks that the Senator Cruz plan should be two terms (of the presidency) and then life (on the Supreme Court). This is especially true at the firearms sites. No one in the GOP caucus in the Senate could claim he’s not a conservative and they all despise him so much it be a way to get rid of him. And once the President embraces him as a nominee he’s done, completely and irreversibly tainted because the President is the President, even though he’d never accept the nomination.

Speaking of dog weddings.
We went to Iowa to get our marriage license (Illinois did not have same-sex marriage yet) during the last primary season. it was between Christmas and New Years.
After we picked up our license, we drove to the hotel and Santorum’s bus was parked there (taking up a bunch of prime parking spots, dick).
We walked all over the hotel holding hands and kissing each other hoping to run into Santorum.
Sadly we didn’t get to see him.

This came up in another context on a couple of other threads, but I’m a little surprised by the number of folks who think you turn down a nomination to the SCOTUS because of the nomination fight, you think you’re being played, or for some other reason. Kamala Harris might have a case given her other options (in principle), although she’s bucking the odds. For everyone else, when the most powerful figure on the face of the planet offers you a chance to serve an unlimited term on the most powerful court in the most powerful country on the planet, you say yes.

A guy I know went to Palm Beach Florida, which is, I gather, a well-known place to have a gay old time even if you are not a Flintstone, bought his dog a shirt that says “I’m The Straight One” (“I assume,” he added parenthetically), and said he might as well have saved his $20 because she would fight her way out of the shirt whenever he tried to put it on her.

Discovered three degrees of separation from Scalia this weekend, when Mom told me she was asked (this was in 1949) if she wanted to take over the Spanish and Italian language classes at Brooklyn College which Scalia’s father had been teaching, as he (apparently unexpectedly) took a leave of absence.
According to Mom, Prof. Scalia never did return.
Upshot is she declined the offer as she felt it would be unfair to the students at the school where she was already teaching as she was deep into preparing them for the oral part of the upcoming New York State Regents exam. Actually quite an honor to be offered the position, as she had graduated from college only earlier that same year.
First time I’d ever heard this story.

Just heard on the news from Ted Cruz that unless the country confirms a real true blue ultra conservative to replace Scalia, we will have a radical liberal 5-4 majority that will erase the Second Amendment and turn the US socialist. (Edit: I think he ended up nattering about ‘rendering our country unrecognizable’ or ‘destroying our way of life’, but by that time I wasn’t really paying attention anymore).
So, Anthony Kennedy has been an ultra-liberal mole all this time, waiting for this moment (Edit: if this is not a ‘crucial critical juncture’ what is, folks?) to be switched on and start destroying America, for reals? Who knew?

Ideally Trump would stick around 35% and the rest would trade 2-4 from state to state until they get to the winner take all states. Then I want trump to finish second a few times. The very best would be for Trump to go to the RNC around 35% with the rest of them trailing in the upper teens. Then after a couple of ballots all hell breaks loose. Of course they will go with someone “safe” like Ryan if not Rubio. That will piss off the Cruz people a lot & cause Trump to complain loudly that he was shafted. He either runs 3rd party or whines loud & long so his diehards stay home. That would be the very best because it could make a huge difference in Senate & House races.

@Germy:

Adam L Silverman
@jl: And that’s not counting that Constitutional scholar Senator Cruz has decided to job the rubes on the 2nd Amendment thing. The Supreme Court cannot declare an enumerated right in the Bill of Rights unconstitutional or wipe it out. The most they can do, if they get the right case, is roll back Heller to the prior to 2008 status quo. This would mean that there is an explicit right to keep and bear arms in relation to service in the well regulated militia, which has been surpassed/replaced by the National Guard, and an implicit right to keep and bear arms for individual use. While this will inconvenience folks in DC, as well as Chicago as it would wipe out the McDonald ruling, and the folks in California suing to get their county sheriffs to actually issue their concealed carry permits, it isn’t going to over rule the 2nd Amendment. Nor is it going to mean anyone has to turn in their firearms.

@jl: It is amazing what people will get worked up about. While not really understanding how the process works and not, seemingly, to care either. I recognize this is an incredibly important issue for a certain percentage of the citizenry, but I wish they actually had a better understanding of the US Constitution, how the Supreme Court works, as well as the Federal District and Appellate courts, and what might or might not/could or could not happen.
And I get the inconvenience thing. I know cops, transiting through New York state, that have a Federally protected right to carry concealed off duty anywhere provided they have their badge with them, who have been arrested, their personal protection/backup weapon taken, jerked around, and then released without charging with a “we’re all cops, you understand” and only sometimes their firearms. And I know of Americans, who have had to transit well around NY City and state when moving, because even though they were in compliance with the Federal law about transporting secured and unloaded firearms in transit between two points where one may legally posses them, one can and will be arrested, had their weapon/weapons seized, jerked around, sometimes charged, sometimes not in NY state and City – all for doing something they are legally entitled to do as Americans because NY city and state have decided that their state level rules have primacy over Federal law.
These things go beyond inconvenience. And they should be rectified and people should be made whole. Reversing Heller would have absolutely no impact on them. But having a Democratic president, any Democratic president, appoint one more justice to the Supreme Court is not going to spell the end of the 2nd Amendment.
