Any senator who doesnt allow the SC process to go forward and be completed MUST

be impeached by their respective state.

1. There's no legal mechanism for that

Once a Member of Congress is elected, only their respective house can determine whether they serve or not. There is no recall procedure.

2. Why

I keep hearing this. And I'd love to see all Republican senators impeached. God knows every one of them has call to be. But the Constitution says they can reject nominees, and there's nothing that says "but only, you know, once or twice and within reason." They can legally reject every nominee ever. They can spend the next 100 years doing it of we let them stay in charge of Congress.

7. It's about the process, not the voting down of the nominee.

How many times will you post this?

[kryptoniandawn]

10. As many times as this crazy point gets argued

They can't prevent the process in any way that isn't legal. Explain to me why rejection or filibusters are illegal? What process do you think they intend to use to block his nomination? As long as Obama is alive, he can nominate. He needs no permission to do this. He can do it right now. Congress cannot stop a nomination. But there are plenty of legal ways to block that nomination, and that is what they will do. Seriously, what do think they intend to do to stop him from nominating?

This whole point is ridiculous and distracts from any actual issues involved.

I mean Jesus people, impeach a senator? I'm pretty sure you can't even do that. And if you could, it'd require them to break a law, not displease the opposition party. If we impeached people for that, no one would ever go unimpeached.

3. And the Repukes Who Do This

will be cheered and hailed as heroes. No POTUS is going to commit NWB (Nominating While Black) on their watch!

USA! USA!

[PoliticAverse]

4. What about if the Senator fillibusters a nominee? n/t

[Wounded Bear]

5. Some of them are up for "impeachment" this November...

[randys1]

6. LOL

impeach, recall, whatever it takes

In 2008 the GOP decided to oppose the USA government and as far as I am concerned they have all committed malfeasance in office ever since

[DesMoinesDem]

8. Idiotic. There is no obligation to even vote on a nomination.

Congress could change the number of justices to 8 if they want. Not to mention that States cant impeach Senators.

[1939]

9. President has the power and duty to nominate

Senate has the duty and power to confirm or reject.

Ask Haynesworth or Cargill. To took Nixon three tries to fill that seat.

[B Calm]

11. Instead of impeachment will call it an election.

[randys1]

12. Yeah, I googled before I wrote that, I thought I saw that they can be recalled

or something, whatever it takes,, they gotta go
