SCOTUS Posting: What people would be saying if the tables were reversed.... [View all]

[YewNork]

Let's look at a scenario where everything were reversed. By that I mean:

1) A left leaning Justice recently passed away;
2) A Republican president was in the last year of his second term;
3) The Senate was controlled by the Democrats;

Which of the following positions would be held by the various parties (choose as many as you like):

A) The Republicans would feel that it was perfectly acceptable for a Republican President to nominate a new justice.

B) The Democrats would feel that was perfectly acceptable for a Republican President to nominate a new justice.

C) The Republicans would feel that a Republican President should NOT nominate a new justice, since he has less than a year left in office.

D) The Democrats would feel that a Republican President should NOT nominate a new justice, since he has less than a year left in office.
