Repubs have to decide whether they want to confirm an Obama nominee or a Clinton nominee. To say "let's wait 11 months" is pathetic pandering to the psycho base.

That's pretty much the way it is. Whether we like it or not Hilary is leading all the polls nationwide against all the Republican contenders. So, she's going to be the next President. Her nominee won't be any better than Obama's.

The Republicans in the Senate are complete doormats. They'll approve Joseph Stalin if Obama appoints him.

I'm not so sure about that in an election year, Hanni. I think they'll circle the wagons and block Obama's appointee. They'll look really stupid, though, if Hillary wins the presidency and then they have to approve her appointment anyway. Get ready for trench warfare. The balance of power in the SCOTUS hangs in the balance.

100% true.

Today, the Senate is in recess. Obama can make a recess appointment, and my understanding is that the appointee would have at least 2 years on the SC even if not approved by the Senate.

Ironies of all ironies, Scalia the "strict Constitutional constructionist's successor may be thwarted by a suspect Republican Senate hell bent on depriving Obama of one of his undisputed Constitutional powers.

If Obama puts forth a qualified appointee, that black lesbian ought to be confirmed.

Nah.... Oprah would have to take too big of a pay cut.

She was recently busted at JFK, security lifted her shirt and found 200 lbs of crack.

Prime, I didn't know whether I should barf or laugh after that comment. :-)

[Prime2]

Yes, the Scalia nonsense is getting out of control, little black humor.

Speak of which, where did the "Last King of Scotland go?"

Springfield| A man from Massachusetts is suing Golden Corral Corporation for 2 million dollars, for false advertising, after being literally thrown out of one of the chain’s restaurants by the employees, last Thursday.

According to witnesses, the 51 year old man who lives on welfare, was expelled from the restaurant after he then spent more than 7 hours on-site, ingesting a quantity of food which has been estimated between 50 and 70 pounds.

Despite the fact that the restaurant advertised the buffet as “all-you-can-eat”, the manager of the establishment seems to have lost patience at some point, telling him that his meal would be free but asking him to leave. The manager’s intervention angered Mr Fleming, and a brief altercation took place before he was finally pushed out of the restaurant.

He immediately called the police and filed a complaint against the restaurant, and he intends to make the people responsible for his mistreatment, pay for their actions.
“It’s a serious injustice, and I am deeply insulted!” Mr. Flemmings told reporters. “With my income, I rarely go to the restaurant, so I try to get as much as I can for my money when I do. This was the worst experience I have ever had in a restaurant. Not only did they kick me out while I was still hungry, but they looked at me like I was disgusting, like I was not worthy of eating there! It’s unacceptable, and I demand a compensation!”

Mr Flemming says the employee of the Golden Corral did not use any insulting language, but he claims that the disgust that was visible on their faces has left him with some deep emotional wounds.

The direction of the restaurant chain quickly issued a press release announcing that the decision to expel Mr. Flemmings was a regrettable personal initiative from an overzealous franchise manager. They also said that some financial indemnities had been offered to compensate the damage suffered by the victim, but had been refused.
Mr Flemmings confirmed that he had been offered a significant amount of money by the company, but he is convinced that he can get more if he goes to court.

Then I hope he gets nothing.
