New GOP Ad Claims Obama’s Supreme Court Nominee Will Make Him President For Life
Not The Onion!
http://winningdemocrats.com/new-gop-ad-claims-obamas-supreme-court-nominee-will-make-him-president-for-life-video/
Republicans have so far been unable to find their minds that they lost back in 2007. As a result, they released this horror movie trailer of an ad attempting to strike utter terror into the hearts of America. The great doom that they are talking about is the nomination of a moderate replacement judge for the Supreme Court seat that is currently vacant.
President Obama, in yet another good-faith attempt that he probably knew was going to be a useless gesture, nominated Merrick Garland who is a centrist that Republicans have praised heavily in the past. They even tried to push him as a SCOTUS nominee in 2010 when President Obama nominated Elena Kagan.
The ignorance of Republican obstruction has now been embraced by the fully-stupid, and the conspiracy theories are flowing. The conspiracy which the ad below implies is that President Obama will get a SCOTUS nominee in place, then he will force his 5 “liberal” judges to declare not only term limits but elections a thing of the past by installing himself as a permanent President of the United States.
If you think about it in this context, it’s almost funny. Republicans clearly HATE the Constitution because they want to totally negate the power of the executive branch in the last year of a presidential term. However, they LOVE the Constitution so much that they want to prevent Obama from shredding term limits and elections by declaring himself president for life. Literally… what the f***?
