In reply to the discussion: Americans say by 2-to-1 that Senate should hold hearings on Obama’s Supreme Court nominee [View all]sofa king
(10,857 posts)There is a 17 day overlap in January, 2017 between President Obama's term and the new 115th Congress. So let the GOP do what they do best and be dicks, kick 'em the hell out, win the Senate back, touch off the nuclear option for Supreme Court nominees, and approve President Obama's nomination in January, 2017.
In the meantime, we get to F the conservatives in the A all year, because they deliberately granted cert to a giant raft of shitty cases that Scalia was going to use to legislate from the bench. Now, ties in the Supreme Court default to the winner in the Court of Appeals, but does not set a precedent, so we get to kill the conservative position now AND THEN kill them forever with Obama's and Sanders'/Clinton's nominees.
They obstruct, we nullify the right wing judicial agenda, they give us the Senate, we get our nominee, then nail the coffin shut on Ronald Reagan's evil legacy forever. And all we have to do is let them be their racist idiot selves for another nine months.
