Merged Scalia is dead

You libs have to understand, if your given this nomination our country will be changed for generations. Obama will not get another pick. I hope the repubs understand if they let Obama do this, they will start a violent revolution that cannot be stopped.

We will not be governed by the most immoral among us!!!!

Calling for a violent revolution demonstrates the most repugnant of immorality.
 
Mitch McConnell says the American people should have a say by putting off any replacement until we elect a new President. Apparently he has forgotten that we already elected a President. In fact, we elected him twice.

Politics at it's very worst. I'm strongly considering writing a letter.

That's the point. The country has suffered enough because of worthless trash like Scalia and whoever Ted Cruz would nominate if the American people are retarded enough to put him in the position to do so.
 
I'm pretty sure the Republicans think they have the political capital to not act on any nomination before the election (and then before the end of Obama's term). Since they control the Senate, they can slow down the process to a crawl, but still move it along, and then just have a vote at the end which the nominee loses, and then the process starts over. I think it's the right thing to do, although it does depend on Obama's choice. If he chooses somebody middle of the road, who is willing to uphold the recent decisions on Citizens United, gun rights, etc., (even including same sex marriage), I think the Senate might approve. It might even be the smart thing for Obama to do. I haven't thought it through yet.

If Obama really wanted to throw Republicans for a loop, he would nominate Maryanne Trump Barry. She's actually pretty liberal, but the Republicans' likely nominee isn't going to oppose her nomination.

Presidential elections only count if the Republican wins. If the American people vote for a Democrat (as they have the last 5 out of 6 elections), there is no mandate. Because reasons.

Maybe McConnell thinks Obama was born in office, like Simba in The Lion King.

Lol

Its called getting the upper hand, political gamesmanship. Republicans know what is at stake. I hope this is the beginning of political war this country has never seen before. We on the right are begging for this!!

How many Senate races are in contention?

Quite a few I believe. 34 total. 24 are Republican seats and 10 Democrat.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_Senate_elections,_2016

Democrats will likely pick up more seats overall, but will it be enough to take the Senate again like in 2008? Probably too soon to tell. I think it'll depend on who the presidential nominees are. I can't imagine Hillary drawing major crowds of voters like Obama did, but then again, if Cruz is running against her, it'll probably pull out every Democrat that has a pulse in order to be sure that nutjob doesn't win whether they like Hillary or not. Large turnouts overall tend to favor the Democrats.

Reprehensible why? Scalia was homophobe, said it was fine for Bush to order indefinite detention by calling it a WAR on terrorism, like I said upstream, said it was fine to execute an innocent person as long as the person had due process.

Those are reprehensible, not someone refusing to pander to a dead guy for some implied social tradition.
