Obama Just Got Received Some Horrible News... This Is Great After the death of Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia, a political fight quickly erupted about who should fill the vacant seat. Of course, President Obama was quick to jump on the opportunity, claiming that he would fulfill his constitutional responsibility to nominate a replacement. Contrastingly, Senate Republicans vowed to block any nominee the president puts forward. As to be expected, Democrats were not happy with that approacheven though weve seen similar incidents in the past. According to The Washington Post, a Senate Resolution drawn up by Democrats in 1960 makes it difficult for todays Democrats to demand for Republicans to approve any liberal nominee put forward by Obama. S. Res 334 claims that it was the sense of the Senate that the president should not make recess appointments to the Supreme Court, except to prevent or end a breakdown in the administration of the Courts business. This resolution established an unwritten rule that presidents shouldnt nominate judges to the court in their final year, except in dire circumstances. What do you think? Do you support Senate Republicans blocking Obama from putting forward a liberal justice?
