Oh my.

The primitives, being paranoid again.

Imagine what the Rethugs could do if they took over the Senate and kept the House.

All Obama could do would be to veto bills.

But how could he get them to pass a clean bill raising the debt limit? Without them attaching a toxic wish list?
 
And what sorts of judicial nominees would they approve?

It's a scary thought. We really need to start focusing on this fall's Congressional campaigns.

1. The Senate does not send the President judicial nominees, they can only vote to confim the

nominees sent by the President or not. Other than that, your OP is correct, and scary.

4. That's not all. They can shutdown the government and default on the debt. You know they would.

5. My concern is if Ruth Bader Ginsburg doesn't retire and we lose the Senate. If something happened to

her before 2016 a new scotus judge would not be confirmed. Then it would be a fight in 2016 with a known scotus appointment up in the air. Certainly big corps would empty their pocketbooks to make sure they had another pro-business Federalist type in that seat. I hope if we do lose the Senate that she retires before the new Senate is sworn in so Obama can appoint someone else.

Eric Holder announced that he is stepping down. I think it's because he wants to leave before 2016 but if he doesn't go now and we lose the Senate we'll be screwed there too.

6. If she retires too soon before the election, there won't be time for Obama to appoint someone.

I wish she'd retire today.

Hmmmm.

The primitives appear to be hating on Ruth.

15. She's not going to.

She's made it clear in interviews that she views this kind of partisanship in SCOTUS retirees inappropriate.
 
She's going to leave SCOTUS when she dies or when she feels she cannot do the job anymore, with no consideration as to who controls the Senate or occupies the WH. She's of that old-school "you serve until you cannot and you do not play political games as a member of SCOTUS." mindset.

22. She's of the "I'm so special I'm irreplaceable" mindset, unfortunately.

25. That is going to cost us very dearly...

...she is over 80 years of age and has a history of health problems. If she doesn't step down before Obama's presidency is over, I cannot see her making it past the 2020 election. If the Rethugs take over the White House (God Forbid), she will be replaced by a Samuel Alito-type justice.

There's a whole lot of other despodency and melancholy at this campfire.

Why are they worried? The tea party is dead, and Hillary is a "shoe" in for president in 2016

That's why I think the primitives are being paranoid; they got no worries.

A pro-business Federalist type sounds pretty good to me.  As long as they hate crony capitalism. 

I googled "Eric Holder Stepping Down" and got a whole lot of conflicting stories.

DUmmies are just purists. Not left enough, they throw a tantrum.

A typical DUmmy.
