Mad at Obama

[discocrisco01]

The reality is that we need to accept that Obama is going to be the next leader of the Dems. There is nobody is who willing to do a primary challenge of Obama and so Obama goes on unopposed.

The reality is that Sciala and Kennedy could resign between in 2012-2016 and therefore, one of the supreme court seats goes to a liberal. And that is end of the Citizens United as we know it. A liberal court will wipe out Citizens United and return the court back to sanity.

Obama has selected judges that are constantly with the liberal left positions and therefore, I that is why I support him his reelection. I do not see a primary challenger that cannot him out and so my support needs to go Obama

1. You're right - I don't think anybody is willing to primary him. Even

some Republicans are sitting this one out because they think his reelection is a given (although they keep trying!)

2. Um...

too many factual errors here to refute them all. I'll pick one:

Obama appointed one moderate and a centrist Democratic partisan to SCOTUS, both Democrats but both judicially-conservative. Neither one is a liberal. Seeing as that's what he did with the best shots he'd going to get to change the court to be more liberal, I see no reason to think he won't go to the right of Sotomayor to replace both Scalia and Kennedy.

3. NO. You mean neither one is "Progressive!" A centrist

democrat is fine with me simply b/c I know a progressive WILL NEVER GET ELECTED PRESIDENT!!!!

[xchrom]

4. That's what's missing in the SCOTUS scare meme.

Lagan & sotomayor are progressive.

[Fire1]

5. Do you mean K-a-g-a-n? Are you ever WRONG! Kagan is

nowhere near progressive. You need to read her profile.

8. Name 1 big decision you disagree with her on.

Run along...

[Fire1]

9. She hasn't made any "big decisions" Einstein. Thus far,

she has recused herself from most of the cases that have come before SCOTUS since she's been there!!

10. It's OK to admit you don't know.

6. Ummmm......

You might want to talk to Texas Dems about court appointments.

Seems he rejected their recommendations for judicial appointments and instead appointed those approved by the Pukes.

Based on his appointments to date I have little confidence that he is going to appoint progressives to the court.

That said, his appointments likely will be significantly better than Puke appointments.

7. They won't resign, but Scalia and Kennedy are both 75

And will be 80 in 2016.

14. And in 2016, hopefully Cuomo will run as President Obama finishes his second

and last term. I would like to see Cuomo run for President in 2016 because I know he'll be a formidable presidential candidate who can easily take on Jeb Bush and Chris Christie (and I believe those two will run in 2016).

We can't afford to put more CONservativeCorporatists on SCOTUS. It's imperitive we vote in Democratic presidents until SCOTUS is ripped out of Justice Roberts claws.

16. Cuomo may be more of a corportist than Obama

Given Obama's recent appointments in Texas, I don't know if the "what about the Court" meme works any more & I sure wouldn't trust Cuomo to do any better.

[Liberal Veteran]

17. Are you joking? Have you looked at Cuomo's entire record?

Supports fracking, tax cuts for the wealthy, bashes the unions, etc...

When it comes to fiscal policy, he is to the right of Obama.

13. Typical. Fuck 'em till they bleed, then offer up "but what about the Judges".....

:puke:

[BlueCaliDem]

15. It's what the GOP, and their stupid sheep, completely understand

and that was why they NEEDED Duh-bya to win in 2000 - no matter what it took.

The SCOTUS is everything, as we've seen with their decision against class action law suits and Citizens United.

That is the real issue. Kennedy might be a "swing vote" (not really), but a GOP president in 2012 will likely replace Ruthie's seat.

Lets hope it doesnt come to that.
