"There are countless horrible things happening all over the world and horrible people prospering, but we must never allow them to disturb our equanimity or deflect us from our sacred duty to sabotage and annoy them whenever possible." -Auberon Waugh
The Constitution has lost one of its most ardent defenders. We are poorer for his loss. Surely God has granted Justice Scalia a honored place in Heaven. Our condolences to his wife Maureen, and their children.
Deborah It would be a recess appointment which lasts a max of two years; it ends when a new Senate is sworn in. In this case, the new Senate arrives in the first week or so of Jan 2017. And the recess has to be properly announced, having both the House and Senate out of town for a week may not meet the definition of a recess. https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/supreme-court-rebukes-obama-on-recess-appointments/2014/06/26/e5e4fefa-e831-11e3-a86b-362fd5443d19_story.html
Minicapt, two years is enough for the Progressives to cause considerable damage. It would be surprising if Obama did not pursue this because it would be another feather in his cap.

ReplyDeleteAppointed by another man who respected the Constitution.
ReplyDeleteScary times just got a lot more scary.
The Democrats didn't even wait for the body to get cold before they started demanding Obama nominate a replacement. Vultures.
ReplyDeleteScary just became frightening. Obama can make an appointment because Congress is out of session.
ReplyDeleteRebecca, the people of tolerance, compassion, yahdee yahdee, didn't wait til they started their nastiness. The comments were so vile. Nauseating.
