Let's be honest, if the roles were reversed and the democrats were stonewalling you would all be butthurt about it.
P sure the people had a voice when they re-elected Obama

Nope.
The Senate is not required to vote, according to the Constitution. Unless you have enough votes to force cloture, which you don't.
The government is not a dictatorship. There are checks and balances. The President can't always do what he wants.
Working as intended.

it aint really a balance when absolutely nothing gets done

kekeke
Stonewalling and filibustering are clear examples that american "democracy" is flawed and the law needs to be changed.
Thankfully Hillary will sort it out.
>>68139542
Maybe if Obama pushed someone who won't use the constitution as toilet paper then they might change their minds.
>>68139542
It seems like a lot more could have got done if the democrats were willing to compromise. The republicans were also voted in, they have a say in the process. And their rightful say was that it wasn't acceptable to pass.

Are you solely speaking about his views on A2?

>implying that's not what the founding fathers had in mind
The whole idea of "checks and balances" was to make it so onerous to pass laws that power would remain decentralized. Supreme Court Justices were never meant to be politicized, instead just offering objective, professional legal advice on the interpretation of laws. Now that the Senate is directly elected, the Supreme Court is another polarized body with an agenda instead of a non-partisan entity meant to uphold the supreme law of the land: the Constitution.
>>68139667
And your solution is ignore the constitution which gives Obama the right to nominate and get a vote on a justice.

I''m guessing you're a youngfag who can't remember pre-Obama USA or didn't pay attention to politics back then because Democrats use all the exact same obstruction tactics when a Republican prez is in office.
>>68139002
P sure the people also had a voice when they elected a shit ton of Republicans two years later.
Democrats did this multiple times under Bush already. Liberals have no moral high ground on this issue.
>>68139002
Democrats have stonewalled before several times. Most recently, Harry Reid and Chuck Schumer vowed not to hear a single Bush nominee to any court at any level from 2007 to the end of his term and they held true to their promise.

They're checking the power of the executive. Gridlock is by design. The Founders said as much in the Federalist Papers.
Better gridlock than an expansion of tyranny.

He "urged" Bush Sr. not to nominate a hypothetical Justice at a time when there were no vacancies in July. That is enormously different from refusing to confirm an actual nominee for a real vacancy starting in February.
Don't pull out false equivalences.
>>68139687
democrats hate separation of powers and rule of law when it gets in the way of their agenda
if they actually bothered to turn out to vote in mid-term elections they might have held onto congress
>>68139002
the democratic process of legislature should be completely ignored if I disagree with the majority
t. everyone living in the West
Face it, you only oppose Obama's nominee because he's black.

This dude creeps me out because he looks exactly like one of my exes, only older.

No more Jews on the Supreme Court
If he is confirmed 50% of the court would be Jewish
Jews are 1% of the US population
No more Jews on the court
lib here, i kinda hope they dont confirm him. hes kinda old and way too conservative. Let Hillary nominate Loretta Lynch

you cant divide an odd number (like 9) into 50%. Its called math.
