Holy sh--
Can't wait to see what Obama conspiracy those right wing websites have for this.
Obama gets to name his successor this is going to be a war.
Forever Fredi
The political war if Obama names Eric Holder a possible nominee.

It wouldn't be a war at all. He wouldn't be confirmed. Obama is going to have to nominate someone like Kennedy if he has any hope of getting him confirmed.Originally Posted by The Don

Sad, sad, news.
my understanding is though " those 4 " loathed his legal opinions they loved the man.

I'm sad that he died—and he was a fellow alum, after all—but I'm not sad he's off the court.

From many accounts he really wasn't the terrible person that many who disagreed with him politically made him out to be. I've read some pretty hateful words from folks commenting on his death, which is ashame but not surprising.
thank you weso1!
Anyone with common sense should see the political **** storm coming. Repubs will stall Obama and Democrats will whine like they wouldn't do the exact same thing.

Bull****

Sure they would and should.
The political ramifications of this are huge.
An Obama nominee would likely tilt the court 5-4.
I'm not familiar with Supreme Court procedure maybe [MENTION=135]striker42[/MENTION] could help me out here, with a new majority could the possible 5 libs re-open citizens united or can only Chief Justice Roberts bring that up similar to a House Speaker and Senate Leader bringing up votes or bills.

They can't re-open a decision. A case would have to come up through the courts overturning Citizens United would have to come up through the courts and the Supreme Court would have to agree to take the appeal from a lower court.
So how would a case get there as in, once the court rules on it, it can't be brought up again right? People have continued to sue Obamacare and the mandate was held so I assume since they ruled on the mandate that it can no longer be tried and that they have to try and sue other parts of the law?

Yeah, the timing of this will have conspiracy theorists going nuts.
thank you weso1!
A larger-than-life figure, for sure, but let's make sure there's some moderation mixed in with the hagiography.
jpx7 (02-15-2016)
Haven't read any hagiography here that I know of. Am I missing something? Are you just invoking the Bush Doctrine [MENTION=4]Julio3000[/MENTION] ?
.. and we are off.
Mitch McConnell fires the first shot
But hey, both sides are guilty

In election year 1988, with a Democratic majority, the Senate confirmed Reagan-nominated Anthony Kennedy 97-0. Next objection, GOP?

Why is President Obama dividing the country by doing exactly what the Constitution empowers him to do?
