Obama: If GOP Continues to Block Judicial Nominees, We’ll See the Court System Break Down

All these Progressive Leftist idiots block Republican nominees without fear and this Dumbass and his fear mongering  saying the Courts will fall apart. He needs to STFU. Again whats good from them is good for them.


Wednesday, President Barack Obama said he is planing to do his job and nominate a replacement for the late Justice Antonin Scalia.
The president warned if Republicans continue their obstruction on all judicial nominations “simply because of politics” then “we going to see more and more vacancies and the court systems break down.”
Obama said, “We have already seen a breakdown of the judicial appointment process that gets worse and worse each and every year, each and every Congress. It becomes harder and harder to get any candidates for the judiciary confirmed. We saw Senator Reid have to employ the so-call nuclear because there was a log jam on getting judicial appointments through. If, in fact, the Republicans in the Senate take a posture that defies the Constitution, defies logic, is not supported by tradition, simply because of politics, then invariably what you’re going to see is a further deterioration in the ability of any president to make any judicial appointments. and appointments to the Supreme Court, as well as the federal bench, suddenly become a complete extension of our polarized politics. And at that point, not only are we going to see more and more vacancies and the court systems break down, but the credibility of the court itself begins to diminish because it’s viewed simply as an extension of our politics.”

“This is a Republican judge or this is a Democratic judge as opposed to this is a Supreme Court justice, who is supposed to be standing above the day to day politics that take place,” he continued. “So, I understand the posture that they’re taking right now. I get the politics of it. I’m sure they’re under enormous pressure from their base and their constituencies around this issue. I’ve talked to many of them and I’ve told them, I’m sympathetic. and by the way, there’s not a lot of vigor when they defend the position that they’re taking that they wouldn’t even use with a Supreme Court nominee. They’re pretty sheepish about it when they make those comments. So we’ll see how this plays itself out. But I’m going to do my job. I’m going to nominate somebody and let the American people decide as to whether that person is qualified. And if they are qualified, let the American people decide whether there’s enough time for the U.S. senator to hold hearings and have a vote. It’s not as if, from what I see, the Senate calendar is so full that we don’t have time to get this done.”
