[QUOTE]Originally posted by Gilbert B Norman: [QB] I'm going to leave it to others to discuss whether SCOTUS Justice Antonin Scalia furthered or hindered their personal political, social, and economic agendas; I'm going to address President Obama's constitutional duty to timely appoint a replacement and the Senate's duty to "advise and consent" regarding that appointment. President Obama, despite the Republican ranting and ravings on the "Jerry Springer Show" from Greenville, SC, has stated he will make the appointment; there remains more than eleven months in his presidency - and that is too long to go with decisions being remanded to the Lower Courts owing to a deadlock at Supreme level. I can't name names, but I'm willing to bet the appointment will be a White, Moderate, woman with impeccable Lower Court credentials. This woman could well be a swing vote in the style of a Justice Kennedy (who has made decisions that would have the Reaganites rolling in their graves). If this designate has a swing record in the Lower Courts, I hold that the Republican Senators will allow her to be confirmed. At this time, despite those clowns making a mockery of our electoral process (I listened but did not watch; as CBS Radio News carried the debate), I believe Congress feels compelled to cooperate with, but not roll over to, the President's power of appointment. Thoughts, anyone? [/QB][/QUOTE]
