    The next President will likely make two or more new selections to the SC. RBG is 82 and has rumbled about retiring, Kennedy is 79, Breyer is 77. Time is not on their side.

    I'll say this, pretty shrewd of GWB naming Roberts CJ instead of Scalia. That move will have some very long legs.

    So I saw the debate...you best believe Obama is going to make a nomination. The Republican candidates were making excuses as to why he shouldnt and Jeb Bush and Trump had the best answers.

    -Trump: Doesnt matter if he can or can't, he will...We must delay!
    -Jeb: Scalia was a man by the book, he was a conservative for following it word for word. The constitutional law states President makes the nomination, so thats what he would want.

    Loved how the Moderator corrected Cruz on the appointment of a Supreme Court Justice in a election year haha

    I'm curious as to how you would interpret the text of the constitution to reach that conclusion.

    Bullshit.

    The Democrats placed politics in the Judicial Branch.

    The Republicans should let no nominee escape committee, until after the election.

    Advice, and Consent of the Senate. Plus the precedent above.

    The Constitution has long ago been forgotten, mangled and twisted. The SCJ long ago stopped reading it.

    The Constitution says he makes it with the advice and consent of the Senate. Scalia will get what he wants. No nominee is getting out of committee, possibly not eve n heard.

    For those of you who don't really get it..here is what happens.

    This is an election year, Republicans are defending more seats than dems in the Senate.

    The Dems are going to lose the White House...almost to a certainty.

    Obama will liberate, the most liberal, probably minority, probably female candidate he can knowing there is no shot.

    And the Dems will run their Senate and Presidency races using that nomination as ammunition.

    War on women
    War on Minorities
    And Violating St.Obamas rights.

    Bet on it.

    Dems going to lose the white house is a certainty?

    Are you referring to the President? Cause you couldn't be further from the truth on that.

    Please disclose that part of the statement that you view as untrue.
