    And you are correct there are many Republicans that don't like him, that is why he is the perfect choice.

    If Obama Wants the next Justice he or she must be pro life and 2nd amendment or he will not get the nomination approved. It will be up to the next President
    Really ?

    Nominees for SCOTUS should be based on Constitutional acumen - period. The notion of stacking SCOTUS with political partisans of either political stripe in hopes that their decisions will favor the politics of the sitting government is antithetical to the role and proponents of such skull duggery should be ashamed.

    So what you are saying is that you do not believe that Obama should be able to appoint his third Ideologue either?

    Roe v. Wade is not going away, regardless of how many Right-wing ideologues find their way onto the high court - sorry.

    By the same token, McDonald v. City of Chicago isn't going anywhere, either.

    Both legal abortion before fetal viability and private gun ownership are here to stay, despite the best efforts of - respectively - special interest conservatives and liberals to make it otherwise.

I can't think of any bigger enemies to the Republic and the values that it was founded on that todays liberals. Not illegal immigration, not even Terrorism, maybe the national debt but the Debt and democrats are one and the same.

    This is also the reason that are being such Cry babies that Obama will not be able to seat the Justice that will bring about the final destruction of the constitution that blocks their very hope and dreams. It is possible that Trump is correct when he called Hillary Evil, but I believe she has a lot of company.
    Okay.. but Some Neo-Fascist power grab by your precious right wing is NOT about the Constitution which you choose to IGNORE. Hillary is EVIL but Trump isn't? By what odd standard?

    A President is SUPPOSED to appoint the Justices. IT IS IN THE DAMN CONSTITUTION. It is NOT said or implied the SENATE is to pick the judges on it's own.. OR....to just BOYCOTT the process.. as you seem to advocate. And.. sorry kids but a right winger like Orin Hatch obviously will NOT be nominated (nor will Rush Limbaugh-in case that was gonna be suggested next)

    BASICALLY... yes, both concepts will remain. HOWEVER....States HAVE got away with a LOT of tricks to ALMOST ban ALL abortions or at least make it very hard. Guns... also are within a SPECTRUM state by state. The SCOTUS... sets the range but in REALITY.... you can have laws that are fairly tough..or.. almost NO gun limits. A Right wing Court.. COULD overturn Roe V Wade. A left Court could undo " Citizens United". Citizens United is on VERY shaky ground. The Koch bros and Scalia were what pushed the idea that Money = Speech....so.. in POLITICS.. the more money the more VOICE. It may be the most bizarre and Partisan ruling EVER. It virtually legalized Corruption.. BUYING politics on a grand scale.

    It goes without saying...no Dem President will nominate "the next Scalia". It's a given that whatever President will NOT pick a guy of the opposite ideology BUT it's NOT uncommon that a Judge is picked who's NOT very ideological.
