Dean James AMERICA’S FREEDOM FIGHTERS–
The unexpected, and highly suspicious death of Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia this weekend has rocked the political world. Those of us on the right are mourning the loss of this brilliant legal scholar. The left are celebrating.
Rest In Peace sir
Unfortunately, Scalia’s untimely death has extremely significant political ramifications. The door is wide open for Obama to appoint a liberal, communist or Muslim to replace the vacant SCOTUS seat.
While Conservatives and Republicans, including Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell have made it abundantly clear that they would oppose any replacement nominated by President Barack Obama, there is a major loophole that could very well provide Obama with the opportunity to put in whoever he wants. This is NOT good folks.
Obama is the king of bypassing Congress and apparently that is EXACTLY what he plans on doing.
Obama has a rare opportunity to make a Recess appointment in the coming days.
This window is open starting today. And it remains open until Feb. 22.
According to Fox News, both bodies of Congress are operating in the perfect parliamentary status in which a recess appointment would be applicable. The last such appointment to the high court came by President Eisenhower in 1956 when he appointed William Brennan.
Article II, Section 2 of the Constitution states that “The President shall have Power to fill up all Vacancies that may happen during the Recess of the Senate.”
This could be the window of time in which Obama has his chance to maneuver a recess appointment to the high court.
Keep in mind that this window will close later this month. Then GOP-led House and Senate can effectively block the president with another recess appointment gambit in the future by agreeing to meet every three days, even if members aren’t really here.
But obviously nobody anticipated Scalia’s death. Or did they?
God Bless.
