A.) I don't think Judge Judy would want to take the pay-cut. She makes like $50M/year.

B.) Trump would regret that...I suspect her personal politics are center-left, as well as accountability-driven and centered on fair outcomes. I've seen her utterly excoriate business owners for unjust and unethical business practices that might skirt legality but certainly are morally reprehensible.

And the Democrats had more power in the Senate at that time.

Hypocrisy!

And apparently from the SCOTUS, they still managed to FUNCTION and settle cases reaching a consensus vote on issues DESPITE missing Scalia. SCOTUS has real motivation to show the public they are perfectly capable of functioning with only eight justices. They are going to work hard in the interim to move things along to avoid ties.

Time for a change.

The Court ensured it would remain conservative for 16 more years via Bush v. Gore. It will take another 16 years to undo the Bush impact on the courts.

Sen. J swore to protect and defend the US Constitution and in that document it says:

Article Two of the United States Constitution requires the President of the United States to nominate Supreme Court Justices.

"he shall nominate, and by and with the Advice and Consent of the Senate, shall appoint ... Judges of the supreme Court..."

Do your job or quit senator.

They simply dont believe the law, constitution or country matters if a democrat is in charge and especially if that democrat is black.

I wish they would admit this, well, this guy actually did, didnt he.

Did somebody let off a stupid bomb in Wisconsin six years ago or what...?

.... 1) Too many people stayed home.
b) the miracle of electronic voting machines.*

in the hands of republicans do creative counting.

I dont know why so many citizens dont care.

The democrat had a 6 point lead in the Governor's race and lost
by almost 10 points. Our democratic leadership and the media
knows about the cheating and will not say shit.

because president Obama is and was resented by racists for being black, and because many Democrats believe elections happen every 4 years, many decent Democratic senators from normally blue (and blueish) states were replaced by psychopathic "tea party" dickweeds.

their re-elections this year will be a very different kettle of fish

. . . re-elected.

He has more integrity in his little toe than most politicians have in their entire body!

financed thoughout his campaign.

Please, show me where in the Constitution--specifically in Article III--where it says the Senate ONLY has to advise and consent if the nominee happens to agree with the Senate majority.

Does this mean Bush's nomination of Clarence Thomas to replace Thurgood Marshall should be voided? There was a democratic majority in the Senate in 1991, and this was a replacement of an iconic liberal justice.

F**king hypocrites!! Do your damn jobs!!

Trump is a true representative of the GOP mindset.

and so many get elected

they know EXACTLY how important the conservative majority is to their power. this is the line in the sand. never mind that elections are supposed to have consequences, and this is one.

this is their hail mary; get to next January, when Pres. Cruz (ew) will nominate as big a troglodyte justice as possible, and then fight the Democratic minority into submission. HUGE ifs.

if they don't win in November they'll cave to a lame-duck appointment immediately.

and whomever that president nominates?

Yes, the man's an asshole. Reagan appointed 3 in his 2 terms; GHW Bush 2 in his single term. There's nothing disproportionate about Obama appointing 3 (Eisenhower appointed 5, and Nixon 4).

The Republicans in the Senate today don't give a shit about the Constitution or ANYTHING President Obama wants to do.

President Obama should appoint the nominee to be the next Supreme Court justice, and they should hold a hearing for that nominee, regardless of whether he is liberal or conservative.

So, I think President Obama should throw caution to the wind and nominate the most liberal person he can find to be that nominee.

"The President has the right to make Supreme Court appointments" ~ Senator Mitch McConnell, 2005.

the inner workings of the Republican mind can only be understood by other Republicans I think

zealots and the propaganda coming out this court, time for change there Ronnie-----------------deal with it, I hear your going to lose your seat this coming November------------------yeah----------------Russ Feingold

Hey Ronnie ------------------Here someone whom has more credibility also her name is Ruth Conniff------she's great

I have a feeling I know the answer

Feingold is another Bernie.

hope the idiot loses BADLY.

Why would they start now?

Johnson is part of the problem in Washington . . . he's a partisan hack!!

These people belong in jail for treason.

Republicans feel entitled to a permanent conservative majority on the Supreme Court that was put in place by Ronald Reagan. It has been his legacy up until now.

No matter who is President. They will have set a precedent that they won't be able to undo when it bites them in the ass. And the Supreme Court will play a larger role in those elections, to their detriment.

got a lobotomy, and put an R after his name, they'd approve his SC noms? Naahhh - not worth it...

Working to correct that error this year. Please donate to Russ Feingold's campaign to help us out!

People elect republicans because they want to be harmed, therefore if they did not harm us they would not be doing their jobs.

I've had enough of the right wingers on the court. So sick of their fascist logic.

When I hear one them defile words like "morals," and "principles," I get furious. They are congenitally incapable of discerning the truth, let alone telling it, and not a single one of them gives a bleeding rat's ass about the "American People," except when invoking their name serves their malignant purposes.

Irredeemable sociopaths like Trump and his would-be storm troopers have finally ripped away the mask to expose conservatism for the despicable evil it really is.

My hatred of conservatism burns hotter than the surface of the Sun. And that goes double for DINOs that betray true Progressive ideals. Such treachery can -and will - NEVER be forgiven. You hearin' me, Double-dealing Debbie?
