Is Obama even qualified for the job? Don't you have to be some sort of mega-lawyer turned judge?

I will pass on reading Fox News comments while still hoping beyond hope that this comes to pass. Also, how likely is it that they will hold up a new appointment until next year? Edit: Are they even allowed to do that?

Obama is one of the poorer Presidents in recent times (Clintons might have had less money due to legal costs). There's no way Obama goes from one government paycheck to another one without years of speaking fees in between.

A lot of articles don't have comments enabled for some reason. quote:Also, how likely is it that they will hold up a new appointment until next year? Considering that the longest nomination to date has taken 121 days, not very. The timing is juicy and perfect for a nice cherry on top of the presidential election. The fact that it's Scalia is just magic. TotalLossBrain has a new favorite as of 03:59 on Feb 14, 2016 |

Samfucius posted:If Obama can't appoint anyone, the next Dem (assuming they win) should appoint Obama. Hahahaha, holy poo poo. Two weeks ago one of the dudes I work with was explaining to me how Hillary should be in prison because of emails and also how it was awful that she had promised to appoint Obama as a supreme court justice in the event of her election and an open slot on the bench. My immediate thoughts were that it would be pretty funny if both he and Scalia wound up on the Court at the same time. So much for that. Also he explained to me the image posted several pages back, the juxtaposed empty fridge of The Working Man and the stuffed-completely-full-including-poo poo-that-doesn't-need-to-be-cold fridge of The Evil Poor. When I tried to point out to him that if this was possible he should probably be doing it (as a twentysomething with a kid, another kid due within the month, and who makes occasional comments about not being sure if he can cover bills) instead of making an almost-living wage as a machinist, he scoffed uncomfortably but managed to continue to insist that he had 'done research on this poo poo' and seen what food stamps can get you. Pretty sure that fridge is like three months' worth of food stamps for a family of our.

Come to think of it, Obama is roughly as qualified for the SCOTUS as Elana Kagan is/was. The precedent for appointing former presidents to the bench is htere (Howard Taft, who famously loved being in the SCOUTS far more than being president), plus, you can't really argue that Obama doesn't understand the law - he literally spent 8 years implementing it. Fingers crossed that the next 10 months mobilize the democratic party base. I registered to vote the day before Scalia died, and now it seems, It wasn't such a bad idea.

Ah, I see, he merely pointed out that, by going out of our way to ensure that every possible precaution is taken in order that our criminal justice system imprisons the minimum number of actually-innocent convicts, it might make a lot of work for the courts because obviously all of those assholes are going to try everything they can to not be locked in prison.

Just because we can't understand our pet's emotions doesn't mean it's okay to terrorize them. I'm so sick of these 'hilarious' planks we play on animals for internet jollies. The cucumber thing was awful, not funny. How is it funny to see the pet you supposedly love frightened to death?? /rant If you need me, I'll be in PI, I guess..
