August 1960, the Democrat-controlled Senate passed a resolution, S.RES. 334, “Expressing 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 Court’s business.” Each of President Eisenhower’s SCOTUS appointments had initially been a recess appointment who was later confirmed by the Senate, and the Democrats were apparently concerned that Ike would try to fill any last-minute vacancy that might arise with a recess appointment.

Ya, but, that certainly doesn't apply to this administration. After-al, such things are outdated and need to be able to 'evolve'.

A resolution is not worth the paper that it's printed on, from a legal standpoint. It's a feel good.

Just more typical double standard by politicians:
"Do as I say not as I do"
"It is ok for me but not for you to do something"
And they wonder why much of the population detest the political class, their lack of standards and their tactics.

unless it forwards their UN agenda and plan to destroy this country. anybody like the interview from the ranch owner, he was laying there with a pillow on his face? why not corner/investigator to determine his death, they do it for everyday people. some local cops say it was natural causes. they are cop/doctor/cops?, could be a good TV show. the un will get their person on the court now, they will go after handguns first and band them, plus many other dacronian things in the UN agenda/new world order. |

...and Obama explicitly stated that the reason he would want to make a new appointment is due to the Court's current schedule of anticipated important decisions. Didn't pay attention, did we?

I KNEW THERE WAS A REASON!!!!!!!!!!!! and what will they band them with? is this u? King Solomon said nothing new will ever be done again. so just the names and times change today. are u and others like the Jewish people were in gremany? http://freespeechtwentyfirstcentury.com/2016/02/14/why-jews-didnt-blink-an-eye-when-mein-kampf-first-came-out/Reading this “long and yet pathetic book,” Grossman wondered how it was possible that an “obsessive psychopath” like Hitler managed to attract thousands of people to his political assemblies. The explanation is simple, Grossman posited: A speaker is allowed a certain amount of lunacy; it actually makes him more appealing. Books, however, are different, since bereft of the company of likeminded people, heads are clearer and more rational. “This book shows Hitler as he is: heartless, ignorant, vain, entirely unimaginative; and the only extenuating cause that can be cited is that he is an incurable war fanatic.” http://www.justfactsdaily.com/what-is-obamas-gun-control-agenda/All of these statements have an element of truth but are misleading by virtue of what is left unsaid. Though the president has rarely mentioned gun control in public, the Washington Post has reported the following about a meeting between leading gun control advocates Jim and Sarah Brady and Obama’s press secretary: During the meeting, President Obama dropped in and, according to Sarah Brady, brought up the issue of gun control, “to fill us in that it was very much on his agenda,” she said. “I just want you to know that we are working on it,” Brady recalled the president telling them. “We have to go through a few processes, but under the radar.” In keeping with an under-the-radar approach, Obama voiced support for the Supreme Court’s ruling in D.C. v Heller (which was decided by a tight 5-4 margin) while he: • appointed a Supreme Court Justice (Sonia Sotomayor) who joined in an opinion declaring that “the use of arms for private self-defense does not warrant federal constitutional protection from state regulation,” and the Framers of the Constitution “did not write the Second Amendment in order to protect a private right of armed self-defense.” • appointed another Supreme Court Justice (Elena Kagan) who recommend denying an appeal hearing for someone convicted of violating Washington, D.C.’s gun laws because, in her words, the man’s “sole contention is that the District of Columbia’s firearms statutes violate his constitutional right to ‘keep and bear arms.’ I’m not sympathetic.” Furthermore, as a U.S. senator, Obama voted against the nomination of two justices who ruled in favor of an individual right to bear arms in D.C v Heller, and he also identified two other justices who ruled this way as people he would not have nominated to the Supreme Court. Obama didn’t say that gun control was as a reason he opposed any of these nominations, but nonetheless, if the president had his way, 4 of the 5 justices who ruled in favor of Heller would not have been on the Supreme Court. Congruently, during the 2008 presidential race, Politico uncovered two candidate position questionnaires from Obama’s 1996 campaign for the Illinois state Senate. In both questionnaires, the question was posed, “Do you support state legislation to ban the manufacture, sale and possession of handguns?” In both cases, the answer was “Yes.” When these questionnaires became public, Obama’s campaign asserted that a staffer filled them out and some of the replies did not and do not reflect Obama’s views. However, an investigation by Politico found that one of the questionnaires contains written notes that appear to be in Obama’s hand, and the other questionnaire has a cover sheet indicating that Obama supplied the answers in a face-to-face interview at the house of a board member of the organization that issued the questionnaire. The board member has confirmed that Obama personally sat for this interview. Additionally, two years later on July 2, 1998, Obama or one of his aides submitted a candidate position questionnaire advocating a “ban” on the “sale or transfer of all forms of semi-automatic weapons.” Obama has publicly expressed support for gun rights since he began running for president, stating in 2008 that “I won’t take your handgun away” and “I believe in people’s lawful right to bear arms.” Nevertheless, Obama’s Supreme Court appointments, Senate votes, and reported statements to Jim and Sarah Brady are consistent with his previously declared agenda to restrict gun rights. |
