re: #321 Archangelus

Question:
Seeing how -
1) President-elect *vomits* tRump will NOT carry the popular vote from the looks of it, and will thus not really have a mandate by any standard; and
2) Congress/Senate is not actually required to approve SQ justices per the constitution’s wording; and
3) Congress/Senate has had more than enough time to approve/disapprove SQ candidate Garland and just simply decided not to do anything; and lastly
4) Obama is still the popularly-elected president until the end of December;

- Couldn’t Obama just decide to appoint Garland to the Supreme Court before the end of December and be done with it?

Not how any of this works. Only way Obama could get Garland on is if he does a recess appointment. And the Senate is maintaining its session to block that very scenario. Garland will never get a hearing.

Thanks GOP.

Thanks voters for not voting or ignoring all the evidence Trump was going to be an epic shit show of bigotry, hate, and pushing white nationalism all while screwing over the very white folks who voted for him overwhelmingly.
