Balance.

Same as for when a Repub President is in the Executive, I prefer a Dem House and Senate.

The less they "do" the better.

Seriously, Congress should meet less often. They less they do the better.

They don't fucking do anything!

Well, they actually do a little of something (in addition to running perpetual deficits and waging endless wars):

Unfortunately they take more lobbyists under the wings, pass more laws, pass more regulations to often screw the working person.

Taking the month of August off is not enough, according to many.

Those who disagree with me should living in the District of Columbia for a couple of years.

Love it. Sorry can't green you.

Very good . . . just shows again what utter hypocrisy is all consuming in the republican ranks

Doesn't matter one way or the other. An odd question.

They lose the seats for multiple reasons. With regards to why the dems lost the mid terms under Obama was due to a low voter turn out compared to the presidental election year. Republicans use tactics such as voter suppression for good reason because they do better when less Americans vote.

What never happens is people voting the way you proposed deliberately. That is just idiotic.

I think you're overestimating the power and effect of a bunch of angry old white people after their nap.

Just a sneaking suspicion but I think a lot of 'angry' white women will vote for Clinton just because she's a woman; because they recognize all the male Republican candidates are douche nozzles.

Just don't expect them to openly admit it.

^ IT wont matter stores because Bernie is going to take this. He matches up better in the national elections. His message is spreading. Young people are throwing off the nonsense that is the right wing dogma. The game is over and time is on our side. These geriatrics will die.

I have no anxieties and it was buffoons like you and boon mee who got utterly clowned in the last presidential election. Boon mee flounced after he guaranteed Mitt Romney would be the next president.

The American people are smarter than to ever elect one of the clowns in that debate on Saturday night. They are an embarrassment to America and so are people like you who are stupid enough to support them.

As you see I have not flounced nor do I intend to, and don't forget the democrats taking a bashing in the mid terms.

I guess we will see come November, there isn't a lot of competition on the flip side,an over the hill socialist and a lying embarrassment to the U.S. A women carrying more baggage than a 747, but you just keep on believing.

We all will die including you, but life will go on and your place in history will not be remembered.

Sooner or later no one and nothing will be remembered.

The sudden death of Justice Scalia creates an immediate vacancy on the most important court in the United States.

Senator McConnell is right that the American people should have a voice in the selection of the next Supreme Court justice. In fact, they did — when President Obama won the 2012 election by five million votes.

Article II Section 2 of the Constitution says the President of the United States nominates justices to the Supreme Court, with the advice and consent of the Senate. I can't find a clause that says "...except when there's a year left in the term of a Democratic President."

Senate Republicans took an oath just like Senate Democrats did. Abandoning the duties they swore to uphold would threaten both the Constitution and our democracy itself. It would also prove that all the Republican talk about loving the Constitution is just that — empty talk

Senator Warren Blasts Republicans Who Say Obama Shouldn't Elect New Justice

I would like to offer an amendment to my first post in this thread:

Obama should nominate his wife. Justice Michelle Obama has a nice ring to it and it'll have the theotard brigade choking on their tongues.

Yay, the fucking nutjobs are out.

Questions have been raised over the handling of US Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia's death, as political sniping over his successor continues.
A judge had ruled that Mr Scalia died from natural causes, but some officials are asking why there was no autopsy.
The judge said she had been assured "there were no signs of foul play".
US President Barack Obama is expected to nominate a new justice in coming weeks but Republicans want the decision to be left to his successor next year.
The question of who will replace Mr Scalia, a powerful conservative voice in America's highest court, is turning into a big battle between Republicans and Democrats in a crucial presidential election year, and could spark a constitutional crisis.
A White House spokesman told reporters on Monday that President Obama had begun preliminary discussions with his team on who to nominate as his successor.
But the timing of Mr Scalia's death has caused conspiracy theories to abound, with some questioning why no autopsy was performed and the exact cause of death still to be determined.
A former head of criminal investigations for Washington police, William O Ritchie, has spoken out on Facebook, saying he was "stunned that no autopsy was ordered for Justice Scalia".
Other conservatives, including conspiracy theorist and radio host Alex Jones, asked his listeners on Saturday: "The question is, was Antonin​ Scalia​ murdered? And the answer to that is, has the Bill of Rights and Constitution been murdered?"
Some also questioned the account of an acquaintance of Mr Scalia, who described the moment he found the judge dead at the ranch on Saturday.

"We discovered the judge in bed, a pillow over his head. His bed clothes were unwrinkled," John Poindexter was quoted as saying.
But, according to the Washington Post, the manager of the funeral home in El Paso that handled Mr Scalia's body said the justice's family insisted on not having an autopsy performed.
Presidio County Judge Cinderela Guevara said she had pronounced his death without seeing the body, which is permissible under Texas law. It had also reportedly taken some time to find a judge to rule on the death.
The 79-year-old had a history of heart trouble and high blood pressure and died from natural causes, Judge Guevara said after speaking with Mr Scalia's doctor and police after his death at a ranch in Texas on Saturday. She said there had been "no foul play".

Mr Scalia's death leaves the Supreme Court evenly divided between liberal and conservative justices ahead of crucial cases on abortion, voting rights and immigration.
Until now, the conservatives had been in the majority but a new judge could tip the balance, and Republicans running for president are strongly opposed to Mr Obama making his choice.
According to the constitution, the president nominates justices to the court and the Senate - currently controlled by the Republicans - uses its "advice and consent" powers to confirm or reject that person.
White House spokesman Eric Schultz criticised a growing number of Republican senators on Tuesday for saying they would not support President Obama's nomination.
He described it as "a lot of bluster, only to have reality ultimately sink in," in reference to past battles over the US debt limit and the nuclear deal with Iran.
There will be no announcement before the Senate returns on 22 February, Mr Schultz said.
Americans are due to vote on a new president in November later this year.
