Mitch McConnell has an opinion on whether or not Presidents have the power to appoint supreme court justices. And apparently his opinion can change along with the winds of who sits in the White House.

Congress, and congress alone, can fire those judges.

Wthout a replacement a 4-4 decision is reaffirmed to the lower courts ruling and right now most (not all) pending cases favor the Dems. Since I assume Obama will play his hand safely, a nomination would probably be someone who was approved by the Senate strongly. Denying a vote means the Republicans must face the reality of a full year with 8 on the court and a potential November victory by Dems who will probably pick someone much more left and very possibly have control of the Senate... More popcorn on order!

BTW just wondering if the Supreme Court rulings ARE NOT the law of the land (gay marriage) why is the GOP in such a panic to block a nominee?

I'm not saying the SCOTUS is not the law of the land, the GOP says this when they don't like a ruling. My point is, if the GOP doesn't think Supreme Court rulings ARE in fact the law of the land, why are they in such a panic to block a new judge. It shouldn't matter by their own logic!

Congress can fire supreme court judges. Is a long process and congress votes on whether a judge can be fired. Same way and process of being impeached.

Although Obama will do whatever any things to diminish and destroy America, he will do nothing to cause exposure of his involvement in the Hillary Bengazi affairs. Obama hates the Clinton's and would love to torpedo Hillary Clinton presidential campaign. Obama would endorse Bernie Sanders if he wasn't afraid of Clinton squealing on him.
TRUMP owes no one. He funded his campaign. This is a donation to the people of america. The rest are funded indirectly from tax payer dollars - one way or the other. TRUMP speaks out for America.
VOTE TRUMP 2016.

So, I asked Andrew Tamm, who filled my Stream with a hundred (sarcasm there) animated gifs and cat pictures to remove me from whatever Circle he has me in where he posts the animated gifs and cat pictures. It was either that or unfollow him and I didn't see any reason to unfollow him. Me asking https://plus.google.com/112885755521259735422/posts/78dwnvvgh4p <==edited to add the correct link Then he plusses me onto Public posts of animated cat gifs : https://plus.google.com/u/0/112885755521259735422/posts/EuuR1tnU3vJ https://plus.google.com/u/0/112885755521259735422/posts/8r6Grcm2Jpj https://plus.google.com/u/0/112885755521259735422/posts/74PgSu6iL2s Then one of his friends (or Circlers) starts plussing me into posts of animated cat gifs : https://plus.google.com/u/0/107120198886093172821/posts/gRW9JhWLs5T Don't get me wrong, I'm all about sarcasm and messing with people, but this seems sort of childish to me.

I'm shutting down Google+ for the night and quite possibly for the weekend. Why? This stupid #gifwars thing people are so proud of. This Adam Black guy said he doesn't like gifs and now everyone is mass trolling him. Having been mass trolled like this I can relate to him easily enough. Have an opinion and the collective might of Google+'s lower class denizens jump on a bandwagon. I just saw a post where someone wanted to jump on board and had to get clarification she was tagging the proper Adam Black. She wasn't even connected to him ! Nor was she a part of the original discussion. She just wanted to follow the herd. When I called her out of it she claimed, "one gif doesn't make a troll." Perhaps not, but she's contributing to a larger troll effort. One straw doesn't break the camel's back, but thousands will. So, tonight, Google+ disgusts me. It probably will tomorrow as well. And possibly Sunday. I gave up Google+ for two months this spring
