Only through proper channels, you cant just bypass the constitution or appoint a bunch of liberal judges to agree with yourself when it is clearly political and unconstitutional.

The president can appoint whatever fucking judge they want.
How about your Republicans proclaiming they will continue torture, and go further than waterboarding, regardless of whether or not it gets any sort of results? Regardless of treaties signed (and authored) by the United States? That's unconstitutional.

I think it's wrong, but Democrats also support it. It's not exclusive to, or.necessarily endemic to being a member of the Republican party or to more generally support the idea of a Constitutional republic.

Judges should be non-partisan. The idea that the president should appoint judges is absurd! It's also a blatant breach of the seperation of powers!

article 2 section 2
Quote:
and he shall nominate, and by and with the Advice and Consent of the Senate, shall appoint Ambassadors, other public Ministers and Consuls, Judges of the supreme Court, and all other Officers of the United States, whose Appointments are not herein otherwise provided for, and which shall be established by Law: but the Congress may by Law vest the Appointment of such inferior Officers, as they think proper, in the President alone, in the Courts of Law, or in the Heads of Departments.
The President shall have Power to fill up all Vacancies that may happen during the Recess of the Senate, by granting Commissions which shall expire at the End of their next Session.

Uh, no he can't. The president can nominate anyone he wants for a Federal Judgeship, the Senate decides whether or not he is confirmed and appointed.

Exactly. See Shins, there IS a separation of power.
-------------------- I am in a minority on the shroomery, as I frequently defend the opposing side when they have a point about something or when my side make believes something about them. I also attack my side if I think they're wrong. People here get very confused by that and think it means I prefer the other side.

Well hell... I didn't write the constitution. The obstructionism from conservatives like Mitch McConnel saying he will do everything in his power to prevent Obama from nominating a SCOTUS judge seems to disregard the constitution more than the POTUS doing his fucking job.

No one can stop the president from nominating anyone. Whether or not the Senate confirms him is the answer. Those fucking idiots should have just shut the fuck up, Obama nominates a candidate, and the senate can approve or reject him. Its that simple. The point is, the Senate has the power but under the brilliant leadership of mitch McConnel, they've shit themselves. Why do you think Ted Cruz stood up and called Bitch a liar on the senate floor? Because he called them for their bullshit.

I didn't mean to call him 'Bitch McConnell'... That was my auto-correct on my phone lmao!
Agreed. They should have just been quiet, and just done their thing.

It still doesn't guarantee the judicial branch is free of political influence. If the Senate and prez agree, they could potentially bypass just ruling by appointing biased or unqualified judges.

It's the best we can do. It's what the Constitution obligates us to do. I know you right wingers love shitting on the constitution, but until you manage to amend it, this is how things will be done.

But if law and order breaks down due to politics, its a major problem, and the very authority that law itself grants comes into question.

What are you trying to say? The sky will fall if Obama nominates a judge?

true, it also shows how powerful lobbies can be by lobbying all branches. Separation of powers doesnt mean shit if you've bought all the branches.

There isn't anything in the constitution requiring that the judicial branch be free of political influence. Quite the opposite in fact. As for biased or "unqualified" judges, the constitution doesn't even require that nominees to the supreme court be a sitting judge. or even a lawyer for that matter. Obama could nominate you tomorrow, and if the senate approved, you would be supreme court justice for life.
