The SCOTUS nominee debate: Proof positive of why we always Gotta' Vote!



Since the recent, unexpected passing of conservative Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia, Republican presidential candidates, Republican congressional lawmakers(???) and FOXifiers are clamoring to denounce President Obama’s constitutional responsibility to nominate Justice Scalia’s replacement on the Supreme Court!

Republican Senate Majority leader Mitch McConnell - who, announced and continues to lead unprecedented Republican  obstructionism following his unsuccessful pledge to make Obama a one term President -  already ruled out his constitutional responsibility to allow a presidential nominee to come to the floor of the US Senate for a vote!?!?

The central unconstitutional argument put forth by Republicans who falsely claim to uphold the Constitution is that President Obama should let the American people decide who will be the President to nominate Justice Scalia’s replacement via the 2016 General Election.

Earth to FOXifiers, and Republican presidential candidates, congressional lawmakers - 

The American people, already, elected a President to nominate Scalia’s replacement - TWICE!

It’s, also, important to note that our current,  Supreme Court is, the most conservative Supreme Court in decades handing down activists decisions that…

  • Eviscerated the Voting Rights Act
  • Turned corporate treasuries into campaign slush funds for CEO’s
  • Demolished campaign finance laws
  • Aided and abetted pay discrimination
  • Made it harder for consumers and workers to file class action lawsuits against corporations that have cheated them
  • Blocked the Environmental Protection Agency’s regulatory ability to limit power plant mercury emissions and other toxic pollutants that poison American infants, children, teens, adults and senior citizens.



Tell Republican congressional lawmakers(???) to uphold their Constitutional responsibility to vote on a replacement for the Supreme Court!
