That is what is far to the nominee and essential to the process. Otherwise, it seems to me...we will be in deep trouble as an Institution." -- Joe Biden, 1992<br /><br />Circle K Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19039943.post-33660696989072996862016-02-22T16:55:14.416-05:002016-02-22T16:55:14.416-05:00By being on the other foot, I assume you mean that...By being on the other foot, I assume you mean that Obama, Biden, Schumer, et al, blocked appointments. Voting against an appointment is fulfilling your constitutional duties as a Senator. Not doing anything, is not fulfilling your Constitutional duties. But why should we be surprised? All the Republicans in the Senate have learned in the past 2 years to do is act like the House of Representatives, which has done NOTHING for the past 6 years. And when I say nothing, I mean nothing but pass over 50 bills trying to repeal the Affordable Care Act, knowing they can not override the President's veto.<br /><br />So 4:10, who has to be the troll who calls himself Circle K, explain again to me how doing nothing is doing something.The Professorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16514637876618184788noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19039943.post-78634099793089743992016-02-22T16:43:24.691-05:002016-02-22T16:43:24.691-05:00The language is clear and unambiguous.

Can you read...Circle K are you calling me a loser? Can you read? Here is the the pertinent section of article II<br />He shall have Power, by and with the Advice and Consent of the Senate, to make Treaties, provided two thirds of the Senators present concur; 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<br /><br />Seems to me the words "he shall appoint" are clearly in the text. It also seems to me that the senate is given the job of advice and consent, so now we are down to the question of if the senate says "we will never give anyone this president nominates the possibility of advice and consent" is the senate acting in an unconstitutional manner. <br /><br />The senate doesn't have to consent, but it appears they have to consider before declining to consent. Of course none of this would be bothering you or the Senate in the least if President McCain was in his last year.

You then read it aloud but slower a second time, still not comprehending what you read. Just for shits and giggles please do tell us what the commas mean?<br /><br />I guess you would also make the argument that Hillary CANNOT be president because the Constitution repeatedly refers to the president as "He." Thanks for reassuring us that the electorate is intelligent.

Article 2, section 2. <br /><br />As a self avowed orignialist, Justice Scalia would affirm the President's power to appoint. It is likely that the President will make the appointment. <br /><br />The Senate has its power of advice and consent. It is unlikely that the Senate will consent to any Obama's appointment, however. <br /><br />Sad. Of course, the Dems will claim obstruction and dereliction of duty.
