Joe Biden has been given multiple opportunities to answer a very simple question whether or not he supports stacking the Supreme Court. Ever since Trump announced his plans to follow the Constitution and fill the vacancy ALL democrats have been losing their minds threatening that if/when they get control of DC they will stack the court (others as well) with judicial activists to nullify conservatives decisions on the bench.
I guess Joe has something to hide...
... the truth in this case would be that he in fact would stack the courts and the nominees are so radical he knows they would scare the hell out of independent and dem voters pushing them to Trump or not vote at all.
Rumor mill has it that Stacey Abrams is on the list, and while we're at it we might as well assume that BOTH obama's are on the list as well, because why not!!
Biden's answers just don't fly, he's clearly hiding some radical nominees who will surely destroy this country if he, KAMMY and the dems win in Nov.
The dems use the courts to legislate when they can't get their way in Congress, this nonsense wouldn't be an issue if we had term limits for judges (dems have actually produced a bill to do just that!)
Biden is just a puppet doing what the people who have created a list of judges want him to do. Hell he's so incompetent they probably haven't told him who's on it! At this point we can assume a "no" answer is in fact a "YES" from this career politician and one more reason to vote Trump/Pence and the GOP. This country cannot afford young radicals far worse than Ginsburg getting life appointments on SCOTUS. If so you can kiss the Bill of Rights goodbye right before the dems pour gasoline on it and set it on fire!
The democrats are losing their minds since news broke of Ruth Bader Ginsburg's passing. The armchair experts are coming out of the woodwork along with pundits on both sides with their interpretation of what is supposed to happen. Well, as you know fmr pres obama has been hailed by the Left as a Constitutional scholar and he makes it clear the President has a right to fill the SCOTUS opening!
"But, but, but the McConnell Rule!"
Whelp #1 the McConnell Rule is not federal law, it's nowhere in the US Constitution and was actually based on the Biden Rule!
#2 It more or less says when opposing political parties occupy the Oval Office and Senate there will be no SCOTUS confirmation. Now with regards to 2016 there was an additional issue, we had a President who, PAY ATTENTION write this down or whatever, was TERMED OUT! It was wrong for obama who was DONE being President to appoint Scalia's successor in election year when he was on his way out. The literal NEW President should have that right. Yours truly actually argued that the right to appoint Scalia's successor was Trump or Hillary's right NOT obama's because he was DONE! Got It?
This is somethign NO ONE in the media is spelling out. Now if it was before the election and obama was in his first term then as much as we wouldve hated it, it wwould've been his right to appoint! Good luck getting dems to see it this way, right now they're spewing lies and conflating a TERMED OUT President to an Incumbent, which is what Trump is.
The democrats are screaming that the "new president" should be the one to choose Ginsburg's successor. Two things here, first they're NOT saying Biden, and second they're quite confident there will be a new president! This should scare the hell out of every single voter knowing what we know now with regards to the dems attempts to manipulate, cheat and steal this election. As we speak MILLIONS of unsolicited mail-in ballots are being printed out. Dems, especially Hillary Clinton, have made it clear, they're going to challenge the election results - in otherwords they're going to do everythign possible to win.
Knowing this election will end up being battled in the courts, we cannot have 4-4 SCOTUS. Also this would NOT be the first time a SCOTUS appointment is made before the election, it's happened several times so don't fall for the Left's propaganda, they're in insane panic mode now.
Important history: “19 times between 1796 & 1968 presidents have sought to fill a Supreme Court vacancy in a presidential-election year while their party controlled the Senate. 10 of those nominations came before the election; 9 of the 10 were successful.” https://t.co/lLrIo9J3jd
The President as obama clearly stated has a right to appoint a Justice to SCOTUS. There are NO LAWS on the books stopping an incumbent President from doing so before an election. Anyone who says otherwise or cites the McConnell Biden Rule as the reason why is a lying liar preying on uneducated/ uninformed people, playing with their emotions.
SCOTUS appointments were one of the key reasons Donald Trump won in 2016 and youre now seeing why he must agaon in 2020 as the Left has gone insane. Dems also run to these 9 unelected bureaucrats when they can't get their way on an issue. The court needs to be revamped because both sides have weaponized it, and if anythign THEY should have Term Limits.
