Jurgan posted:At this point, I think Cruz has the best chance at winning the nomination. Rubio had a good chance, but then he blew the debate, and he blew the debate, and he blew the debate, and he blew the debate, and then came in fifth in NH. Kasich is the one I'm really scared of, because he's slightly more moderate and therefore has a chance of winning, but he's still bad enough to wreck the country. Kasich has no "appeal to racists in various unsubtle ways" strategy for either SC or the super tuesday states. He's done.

Let's be honest here, it isn't just that she's successful but that she's more successful than he will ever be. That's what really gets their goat from rap stars to Obama. That they can be marginalized, hated and attacked by everything they throw at them, but at the end of the day Obama will be liked enough by the majority of America that he will probably have an okay legacy and actually be remembered unlike chowder or whatever his name is.

Crowder is literally just a troll. I mean I don't doubt that he believes all the things he says but his whole shtick is getting people angry at him. He never really attempts to make any actual points or convince people of anything. He's even more of a troll than Milo because at least Milo pretends to think things through, although Milo is 100% more fake than crowder

Every paper in Texas counts as right wing media right? http://thescoopblog.dallasnews.com/2016/02/supreme-court-justice-antonin-scalia-reported-dead.html/ quote:“He was the solid rock who turned away so many attempts to depart from and distort the Constitution,” the statement said. “His fierce loyalty to the Constitution set an unmatched example, not just for judges and lawyers, but for all Americans. We mourn his passing, and we pray that his successor on the Supreme Court will take his place as a champion for the written Constitution and the Rule of Law.”

You know what sucks? In the coming weeks conservatives will be allowed to praise him as a heroic staunch defender of the Constitution but no one will be allowed to talk about how crazy and extreme he was. I think that's called er... political correctness isn't it?

There's going to be a looooooooot of people trashing his legacy and it will serve as a warning to any other judges who may want to be remembered fondly. Nothing is sacred anymore, look how Obama has been treated.

Bait and Swatch posted:It's not like Obama will be able to get anyone he tries to appoint this year through either way. The average time is 2-1/2 months from nomination to senate vote. So the GOP will need to come up with a reasonable excuse to delay for a year, unless they're OK with providing voters with a heaping helping of partisan obstruction in an election year.

That sounds very reasonable, which is why I'm not counting on the GOP doing it. Cooler heads might prevail, but I wouldn't be surprised if they go full-on scorched earth this time. I'd love to see Senators Cruz and/or Rubio filibustering over this.

MSNBC's doing a pretty basic "we won't talk ill of the dead, he was hugely important and this is hugely important news, lets talk about the future because we're not going to poo poo on him because he has loved ones" approach. Fox News is basically writing an hours long glowing eulogy.

Huh. I didn't realize it was inappropriate for American presidents with one year left in their term to nominate anyone to the Supreme Court. You'd think that bit of protocol would have come up before.

It's not inappropriate, it's just that this particular President is slightly different and it's best to err on the side of caution for this special situation. We wouldn't want to enter into a thousand years of darkness or anything.

Every piece of 9/11 debris is one of Cheney's phylacteries. Given how much of a clownshow this SCOTUS appointment is going to be, Obama may as well nominate a transgender Hoxhaist.

The GOP don't want to talk about the Bush years but the Dems sure are ready to do it. That line is less valuable if Trump gets the nod of course, but attack ads against Trump would probably be even easier that teeing off on Dubbya

It's hilariously stupid how people on CNN and elsewhere are debating Rubio's claim that lame duck nominations haven't happened in 80 years, as if it's assumed that it's some sort of "custom" among presidents. What would be the loving logic to that if it were true? Why is it OK to nominate in the first three years and not the fourth and why have I not heard of this before, CNN? Is something true just because some Republican nitwit claims it is? ...CNN's "fact checker" gave Rubio's statement a "mostly true" rating so there's my answer i guess.

There's a 1/4 chance of justices who die dying in an election year, but a lot of them resign, and that's usually done early in a president's term so they have an easier time with the nomination. So it hasn't happened often, but there's no rule about what to do. I could understand if he died between November and January, but a whole year is ridiculous.
