It's so disgusting that I am actually much more fired up about that than about Trump's victories last night. And that says a lot. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/obama-to-announce-supreme-court-nominee-today#post-2496512 Wed, 16 Mar 2016 10:34:40 +0000 lovehoneybee 2496512@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Maysprout: ...GOP heads collectively explode :silly: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/obama-to-announce-supreme-court-nominee-today#post-2496511 Wed, 16 Mar 2016 10:34:36 +0000 lawbee11 2496511@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>SCOTUSblog has a scholar on Supreme Court Confirmations and Constitutional Law professor guest blogging. He said "I am sure that the people who do not want President Obama to make the nomination will holler politics. But, you cannot look at his career and think this is anything but an appointment based on merit. No President could nominate a stronger candidate." </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/obama-to-announce-supreme-court-nominee-today#post-2496509 Wed, 16 Mar 2016 10:31:53 +0000 travellingbee 2496509@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Pirouette: Oh yeah, I thought that too. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/obama-to-announce-supreme-court-nominee-today#post-2496506 Wed, 16 Mar 2016 10:31:09 +0000 Pirouette 2496506@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@travellingbee: lol. the cynic in me says obama saw a landslide victory coming for trump last night and thought "well, I'll announce a moderate choice the next morning, when establishment repubs are feeling most vulnerable!" </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/obama-to-announce-supreme-court-nominee-today#post-2496487 Wed, 16 Mar 2016 10:14:22 +0000 Mrs. Lemon-Lime 2496487@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@2littlepumpkins: ding ding ding!</p> <p>The nominee is Merrick Garland. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/obama-to-announce-supreme-court-nominee-today#post-2496481 Wed, 16 Mar 2016 10:11:54 +0000 travellingbee 2496481@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think it was wonderful timing for this announcement so I don't have to watch All Trump TV today like it usually is the day after a primary. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/obama-to-announce-supreme-court-nominee-today#post-2496476 Wed, 16 Mar 2016 10:09:03 +0000 lawbee11 2496476@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@yoursilverlining: He gave her a nice Jewish moderate for her birthday :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/obama-to-announce-supreme-court-nominee-today#post-2496471 Wed, 16 Mar 2016 10:04:46 +0000 Maysprout 2496471@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Obama nominates himself.

I'm a SCOTUS nerd and I love this so much. And I personally don't think it's a dead end unless the Republican want to lose a substantial amount of Congressional seats in the next election. He's a moderate and John Roberts has previously spoken of him with admiration and respect. He's a compromise choice, in my opinion. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/obama-to-announce-supreme-court-nominee-today#post-2496439 Wed, 16 Mar 2016 09:41:34 +0000 Pirouette 2496439@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>This nomination basically serves to put the GOP senators on notice. If they refuse to consider this very well liked and respected nominee, they risk letting Hillary pick a more liberal justice in 2017. Are they willing to pass on the chance at a moderate nominee and put all their eggs in the Trump basket? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/obama-to-announce-supreme-court-nominee-today#post-2496431 Wed, 16 Mar 2016 09:37:12 +0000 Adira 2496431@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@2littlepumpkins: haha, not your fault - I just read your post too quickly and didn't process it. :D </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/obama-to-announce-supreme-court-nominee-today#post-2496429 Wed, 16 Mar 2016 09:34:46 +0000 2littlepumpkins 2496429@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Adira: lol it's ok!
