Fox News just reported Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia has died.
Obongo get to nominate another left wing Supreme Court judge. We are really up a creek without a patal now

We are only up a creek if Senate Majority Leader Paul Ryan allows the nomination out of committee. No vote to confirm a Supreme Court nomination can happen unless Republicans let it happen.
We will find out what Paul Ryan is made of....We are only up a creek if Senate Majority Leader Paul Ryan allows the nomination out of committee. No vote to confirm a Supreme Court nomination can happen unless Republicans let it happen.

Pete Williams: I'd Be "Very Surprised" If Senate Even Considers Supreme Court Nominat
Actually, the court typically hears a case if 4 of 9 justices vote to hear it. It would stand to reason that 4 of 8 would also be sufficient.Hmmmm. I wonder what that would mean for all the new cases between now and then.
I seem to recall that SCOTUS holds conferences to decide which cases to accept. Does waiting until after the election to confirm a replacement mean that if a conference vote is 4-4 on accepting a particular case in the meantime, that appellant does not get review?

Does anyone realize that the Senate is currently in recess? The head twit can actually appoint whomever he wants anytime between now and the 22nd without Senate approval.
Disparaged, or accurately described. Their words are available for all to read. Your defense of them is admirable. If they be offended by being characterized as pencil-necks, by me, they may come here and defend their words...or not.The law professors at The Volokh Conspiracy have learned commentary on Justice Scalia's untimely passing and the controversy of recess appointments of SCOTUS, mentioning particularly Abe Fortas, also that the democrats wanted to restrict POTUS's ability to change the make up of the court during an election year.
But then, of course, they have been disparaged as "pencil necks" here by their no-neck betters. As we Slouch Towards Gomorrah.
