Article Two of the United States Constitution requires the President of the United States to nominate Supreme Court Justices and, with Senate confirmation, requires Justices to be appointed. This was for the division of power between the President and Senate by the founders, who wrote:
he shall nominate, and by and with the Advice and Consent of the Senate, shall appoint ... Judges of the supreme Court ...
Sorry, Dirt, there was no way around a Senate Confirmation hearing, so no recess Appointment for OBama.
Who was President of the United States of America when Scalia died and what does the Constitution of the United States say when that happens to a sitting Supreme Court Justice of the United States of America?
You're still trying to pretend that Garland was a bona fide nominee?
HA! That's funny! BWAH HA HA!
That Garland wasn't even considered is another Republican hypocrisy.
Never forget McConnell is why we have Gorsuch and not Garland. It's why Kavanaugh will be confirmed.
President Trump is batting 1.000 with SCOTUS picks (even if something derails Kavs from getting confirmed he is still a top-notch pick).
Kavanaugh's more solid than Kethledge and has the advantage of not being supported by McConnell.
Collect your winning or pay your losses.
