>>> The smug little smirk that he gave after he made his joke was tasteless

>Tamar's point is that there's a broo-ha-ha that he shouldn't be appointing judges. E.g. Senate Majority Leader: "“The American people should have a voice in the selection of their next Supreme Court Justice. Therefore, this vacancy should not be filled until we have a new president.” Alberto Gonzalez, former Bush attorney general: “From my perspective having worked at the White House and then at the Department of Justice, there’s just no question in my mind that as president of the United States, you have an obligation to fill a vacancy,”

But the thing is the American people have already had a voice in this - see we already have a president who we elected - and it's his job to nominate a judge. As matter of fact it's his obligation to do so, and having an 8 person supreme court is a dis-service to us all. So yes a bunch of broo-ha-ha - but really its a bunch of republicans upset because with all the pending things for the court, a 4 - 4 tie might get them things THEY want. Doesn't really matter if it's good for the people or not. Just pathetic.

>And on and on it goes.

>Obama's position is that he will nominate in due time. Then in a speech he says he's doing stuff including nominating judges. You perceive his facial expression as a tasteless smirk because a Judge died. Others say he gave a wry smile that says "I'm still President and I get to nominate."

>Meanwhile another contender says he'd like to punch somebody in the audience in the face and people claiming to be shocked by an Obama facial expression, now are cheering.

>This is yet another Satanobama effort.

Exactly. But look at the fools - cheering because candidate wants to commit assault. I think GOP has simply gone bonkers, but look at the numbers - GOP is maybe gone nuts because the people in the party are out of their minds....or just really stupid (and hey Trump says he loves the uneducated). Yeah I bet he does, cause anyone with an IQ that surpasses that of an ice-cube should be smart enough to see that...oh I give up lol lol.
