They still have time!  I predict that Obama will get one more nominee.

And RINO Lindsay Graham will continue to argue that every President has a right to get their nominees approved by the Senate.   

Will someone please ask him WHY the Founders bothered to require the Senate confirmation????

If McConnell had any courage he would delay any appointments by Obama this year. There is no time table for confirmation. As for Graham, someone should remind him that he is irrelevant now.

They're both HORRIBLE! They don't have the sense to "wait" for a better president. I believe GOD is involved in keeping them there.  Obama will get no more nominees. Solar, THIS is your number one reason to stump for Cruz. NONE of the other front runners can be trusted with this.

Excellent point!

I totally agree that Cruz is the ONLY candidate capable of appointed good justices to the court.

Most of the others just do not discern the necessary attributes for a good justice.  Cruz does because he worked for the Court and argued before the Court.  He understands perfectly what is required for conservative decisions from the Court!

I believe that much the same was said about George W Bush. All I have to say about that is Harriet Meyers!

Even when he did appoint a "solid conservative" to the court named John Roberts, look at how that turned out!

Cruz is NOT GW BUSH.

No, I do not expect Cruz to walk in the steps of "W".

Cruz is much, much smarter and does his homework.  No, Cruz will not be fooled!

Maybe Ginsburg and Breyer recognize how Obama's appointments are so bad they are waiting until he is gone. I am still puzzled why they have not retired with a democrat in the WH.

Now that we're in 2016, each day that passes makes it easier and less conflagratory to postpone another Dem-nominee to the Supreme Court if the situation occurs.  Hopefully, Cruz will do the nominating by then.

I'm puzzled too.  I can only conclude that SCOTUS's non-obama members are 'traditional' Dems who still put duty over Party.

This is a specious argument. That is like not believing in Santa Claus is still a "belief". I have nothing against religion (unless said religion insists I either convert or die), but extraordinary claims demand extraordinary proof. It is incumbent upon the person who believes in the supernatural, to prove its existence. It is not the duty of the person who does not believe in it to disprove its existence, as it is nearly impossible to prove a negative.

Bullshit.  The existence of God is binary.  Yes or no.  Neither supposition can be proven nor disproven.  It comes down to a choice.  You choose to believe, or you choose not to believe, for what ever reason.  You can torture the facts however you want to support your choice.  In the end, it's a personal choice.  I choose to believe.  I have no need to provide you proof of my personal belief.  Frankly, it's none of your business what I choose to believe. Believe what you want, but don't assume I, or any other Christian has any need to prove the existence of God to you.

QuoteAre you sure that is what you want? There are plenty of smart Liberal protestants out there. I would prefer a person , who regardless of their faith, believes in and swears to defend the Constitution of the United States and not "legislate from the Bench".

That is what I want.  The "a smart Liberal protestant" is a red herring.  Of course I don't want an oxymoron "smart Liberal" anything.  That said, I do wish some president in the future could find one supreme court justice that shares the beliefs of the majority of the country.  I don't think that's unreasonable.

Do you know Ginsberg's history with the ACLU? No, she's not on our side. Not even remotely.

In the light of Justice Scalia's speech, Raphael Cruz made a speech that should strike to the core of every Christian.
