What are your opinions on using a fillibuster to block the appointment of Supreme court justices. Keep in mind this is what it says in the U.S. Constitution.
Article 2 - The Executive Branch
Section 2 - Civilian Power over Military, Cabinet, Pardon Power, Appointments
The President shall be Commander in Chief of the Army and Navy of the United States, and of the Militia of the several States, when called into the actual Service of the United States; he may require the Opinion, in writing, of the principal Officer in each of the executive Departments, upon any subject relating to the Duties of their respective Offices, and he shall have Power to Grant Reprieves and Pardons for Offenses against the United States, except in Cases of Impeachment.
He shall have Power, by and with the Advice and Consent of the Senate, to make Treaties, provided two thirds of the Senators present concur; and he shall nominate, and by and with the Advice and Consent of the Senate, shall appoint Ambassadors, other public Ministers and Consuls, Judges of the supreme Court, and all other Officers of the United States, whose Appointments are not herein otherwise provided for, and which shall be established by Law: but the Congress may by Law vest the Appointment of such inferior Officers, as they think proper, in the President alone, in the Courts of Law, or in the Heads of Departments.
You can say that about a fillibuster about anything really...
it saids he needs the consent of the senate, and if a fillibuster works, by rules of the Senate, he doesn't get concent.
but personally, i see a fillibuster being too political/childish *but in all honesty, i don't know too much about them
Promise that forever we will never get better at growing up and learning to lie
