Where does the Constitution say a woman can't nominate justices, or that there is time limit? Cannoli Send a noteboard - 20/05/2016 09:14:13 PM

...since the republicans in the Senate decided they wanted Hillary Clinton to pick the next Supreme Court justice. for a party who claims to want to follow the Constitution to the letter, they sure do ignore large swaths of it when it suits their temper tantrum of the day.

The Republicans who have decided that the next justice should be chosen by a president with a more recent electoral mandate, and who will have to answer for his pick when it comes time to run for re-election, would only be hypocritical if they changed their tune once a Democrat was elected. The principle is a valid reason, and they don't any justification other than "Fuck you, I don't like how he parts his hair". The Constitution requires the nominee be confirmed by the legislative branch. It does not say they must approve the nominee MUST be approved under certain circumstances.

This is pretty obviously a "letter of the law, not the spirit" thing - 31/05/2016 05:35:30 PM 573 Views
It is pretty obvious that they are violating neither the spirt nor the letter - 31/05/2016 08:24:07 PM 446 Views
