Fuck You Mitch McConnell

[LurkerNoMore]

Well dipshit I actually have earned my right to vote serving my country so go fuck off. I vote conservative  not repub nor dem. I'm  sorry you have an issue with blocking a super libs' nominee and watching our 2nd amendment rights go down the shit tubes. I'm also not for the cultural suicide currently on display in Europe...again a gift we'd get with a lib justice. We railed against Obama here for months before the elections....not my fault he got elected. I hate Trump just as much.

This just in.  Obama is coming for your guns on November 8, 2016.  Under no circumstance should you leave your house that day.

[Kazan]

Repubs are quite happy to consider it a living document when it serves their purposes

Don't forget, corporations are people my friend and money is speech

You guys just can't get past the Dem Rep, thing. Notice I sad the government as in all of them. The country doesn't get this fucked up by one party, they would be voted out and have no power. For cripe sake the RNC and DNC have monopolized the whole election process, it's a joke, we get presented with a pile of crap and vote for the best looking turd.

[andreisdaman]

Yeah its the repubs fault we want to avoid rolling back Heller and allowing shitbag's immigration policies to go forward. You fucking libs and your bullshit. Harry fucking Reid would be doing the same shit. They did it to Bush in 2007. Barry can nominate  away...he can find his half gay, trans, latino, dwarf muslim convert and nominate it all he wants.

Dude...everything out of your mouth is lib this and lib that..just answer the question...does Obama have the right to nominate who he wants for the supreme court at this point in time.....yes or no.....don't talk about anything else...YES OR NO

[headhuntersix]

I know you hate Obama but you're not a buffoon. I agree with you on the 2nd amendment of course. You know this and I firmly believe you have every right to vote for who leads this country.

I'm just afraid that as with anything, age is catching up to us all.

The young crowd doesn't care about guns or abortion or gay people.

Is it right? I don't know. What I do know is that you and I won't be here to see it all unfold and the country is left to the young ones.

It is what they want, and while I may disagree at times it is their future.

I think we would...things are speeding up all the time. Look at everything over Obama's tenure.

[headhuntersix]

Yeah...cause libs are kinda the enemy as far as I'm concerned...just as whitey and race seem to be yours. I have posted more then once he can nominate whoever he wants to...I see public school failed you.

[tonymctones]

Funny Obama didn't think the voters had spoke when he was for filibustering

Any idea if this is true? Just read it.  It would seem hypocritical if so.

For the record, I think Obama should get to nominate whomever he chooses.

[andreisdaman]

There you go bringing up race again...I love it....race is in your mind

[iwantmass]

It's hard not to bring up race, when addressing a racist.  Shall we tally up his cries of racism versus yours?

You don't get to whine about people bringing up race, given you've been doing it here on getbig for the 10+ years you like to brag about all so often.  Besides, you and many other blacks often call white people racist, with no merit for the accusation.  Calling you a racist happens to be fitting because it is true.  So, do you just dislike people calling out racist in its true context, or do you just think the ability to accuse someone of being racist is reserved for blacks?

[andreisdaman]

Amazing....I love how people who have been here for a week with the majority of their posts on the sex board are calling out my 10+ years here on Getbig...just.....wow

[Coach is Back!]

Good.  Now when Clinton or Sanders becomes POTUS they can appoint Obama to the Supreme Court.

Another brilliant post. So let me this this straight. Pretty sure the dude never tried a case in court and you want him appointed to the supreme court? Hahahahahahahahahahahaha hahahahahahahahaha!

41 out of 109 past supreme courts past members had zero judicial experience.  

Did you know that?

You often boast about your 10 years of racism here, so I figure they are fair game. And I don't have 1 single post on the sex board, but you know that, and hope it detracts from the substance of my posts, each and everytime I make you look stupid. Furthermore, I don't know what your problem seems to be on the sex board, as you worship every cock on it.

On another note, you thought the republicans actions were just appalling here.  Seeing that you've been following politics, since most of the guys on getbig were in diapers (your words, not mine), and not just since a black man took office, why didn't you show such outrage over democrats trying to halt supreme court nomination?  Afterall, you've been just as passionate about politics well before obama took office, so you were bound to know democrats have done the exact same thing that stimulated enough disgust for you all to make/respond in this very thread

Please specify what he did that was "treacherous".

I think Obama would not make for a good Justice from the standpoint of being too ideological - certainly his political ideology and philosophy are in sharp contrast to mine, but I don't think that, in itself, disqualifies someone.

With that said, there's no requirement that only Judges be nominated to the Supreme Court. In fact, there's no requirement for them to even have a law degree (although it's probably a good idea if they do).

Personally, I think the Court could benefit greatly from more diversity of experience instead of more of the same - lawyers who went to one of three law schools, had a Federal clerkship, and then joined a powerhouse firm or the USA office. There are Senators who would be well-qualified, and I can think of at least one Governor. Taft became a Justice some time after his term as President was finished. Such candidates would help offer differing perspectives to a group of nine people that are cloistered in a secretive tower made of the finest ivory.

I agree with this.

Also, Obama would never want to be a Supreme Court justice.  I doubt he wants to put in the work required to do that kind of job, give up all the money he will make with his books and speaking fees, etc.

Isn't it funny? The Presidency has become, for all intents and purposes, an internship. Once you're done being the President, you get to sell hot air and make a ton of money.

It's a shame.  Many of these public service jobs are the ultimate cash cow.  What the Clintons made is just obscene.

I miss 333386 telling us that obama will be broke, homeless, and smoking crack in the streets, just 6 months after losing the 2012 election

Those were good times. I know he won't return, but I do hope he's doing well.

Just curious, given the Scalia was very ideological (I assume most even on the right wouldn't argue with that) do you consider him to have been a good justice

[andreisdaman]

He was a good justice but like most conservatives he was on the wrong side of history....no matter his right wing views he could not stop Obamacare, legalization of Marijuana, or gay marriage

Liberalism marches on

Yes I think Scalia was a good Justice, although there are decisions where I disagreed with his opinion.

The difference between Obama and Scalia, in my opinion, is that Scalia saw the Court at an institution that interprets the Constitution as written and not as the means to implement social change. It seems to me that Obama sees it quite differently. I just don't think that the Court, as an institution, isn't supposed to treat the Constitution like tea leaves, or to function like a conclave of 9 legal high-priests that tries to direct the nation.

Of course, it's possible that I am wrong; it's possible that Obama would make an OK justice - maybe even a great Justice. The freedom that a lifetime appointment brings, together with the rarefied air in the Court means that the Justices can be isolated from the politicking in Washington which is a great thing. Maybe Obama is better suited for such an environment. Maybe he's a much better legal scholar than a President.

But - and this is my personal opinion - I'd rather not find out.

[Leatherneck]

If it were to take a year or more for the next justice to be confirmed, Chris Christie could be an interesting option.
