What Happens To SC If Democrat Wins WH?. Delay Justice Vote For 4 More Years?.

[TheMastersNemesis]

If the GOP is so adamant about replacing Scalia this year, what will they do if a Dem wins theWhite House? Will they be determined to wait for the next election in hopes of getting a GOPPER?

They probably cannot really delay on the Scalia replacement in the end. But maybe they can. They have obstructed Obama for 8 years on many issues. They have been very consistent on obstruction at every level.

1. Bernie can then nominate Obama.

2. Obama isn't going to be nominated.

First, he's indicated he wouldn't be interested.

Second, it would raise complicated issues. While Rand Paul is a moron for saying it would be a conflict of interest for Obama to appoint a SCOTUS justice who would then rule on cases challenging and/or defending actions taken by the Obama administration, it would be a much different situation if Obama was put in the position of ruling on his own actions as a SCOTUS justice. The optics of such a conflict would not be good.

Finally, as an associate justice (the least senior associate justice), Obama would be in the position of having John Roberts decide which opinions he gets to write. Can't see Obama wanting that either.

3. I doubt they'll delay this year. It's all theater.

They'll yell and scream and then vote. It is a repeated cycle with them.

5. There is NO Constitutional crisis!

Republicans just don't like following rules when the rules do not favor them.
The rest is just bullshit… It say so in the Constitution

8. Republicans Could Be Born of Constitutional Crisis and Die as a Result of Another

the Party of Abraham Lincoln

6. Of course!

The American People have the right to be asked over and over again until they come up with an answer satisfactory to Yertle the Majority Leader.

9. Given that 24 of the 34 Senate Seats up for election this year are GOP held,...

Should a Democrat win the White House the most likely outcome will be the Democrats take control of the Senate.

10. Secede again?

SC = South Carolina. Supreme Court = SCOTUS.
