A fight is brewing over a replacement for Antonin Scalia on the Supreme Court.
President Obama is reportedly working on a list of candidates. Attorney General Eric Schneiderman has joined with Democrat AGs from other states in an attempt to pressure the Republican-controlled Senate to hold confirmation hearings on potential candidates.
This needs to be a total non-starter for the GOP. Any candidate Obama puts up would likely be as bad if not worse than Sonia Sotomayor and Elena Kagan. There is no requirement the Senate hold hearings and the Republicans need to stick to that line.
I hear 4 of the 5 on his list are large contributors to his campaign. LOL!
BTW Jacob, google the CNN “gun violence study” (on CNN this morning). I read it. A total fraud on its face! They have “determined which gun laws work”. One of them is “firearm ID”. Only trouble with that is I do not believe it exists anywhere yet. They also say that gun violence is reduced by 15% with AWB. Not believing that. It is a fraud promoting their agenda with outright lies.
