President Obama to replace Scalia; why republican'ts can't do anything about it
Let's look at the interesting scenarios surrounding President Obama's top handed control over everything concerning the next appointment of a justice to the US Supreme Court and the republican't do anything about it.
1) President Obama makes a recess appointment as Congress adjourns for their current session or upcoming one, and he names a justice immediately. It is exactly what Eisenhower did with Justice Brennan. Then, if the Senate does not unanimously confirm the new justice, any one democrat can stand up and filibuster. The new justice stays on the court. Getting 60 votes for cloture and ending a filibuster these days is like getting blood from a stone.
2) President Obama appoints an Hispanic male justice with impeccable and outstanding credentials. Adalberto Jordan comes to mind. If the republican'ts reject him, how does that help the Democratic Nominee for President in November? IT GIVES THEM THE HISPANIC VOTE COMPLETELY no matter if Cruz or Rubio get the nomination for the republican'ts.
3) President Obama puts Anita Hill's name up for nomination. After the last War of the Worlds, republican'ts would be hard pressed to attack her again. And I certainly can't wait to see her sit next to Clarence Thomas.
4) President Obama does 2) and 3) and both get rejected by the republican't US Senate.
Then women, African Americans, Hispanics looka t the republican't nominee for President in November as DOA and turn out in angry droves to change the entire Congress.
No matter how it gets sliced, President Obama is sitting in the "catbird" seat and he's on cool cat!
