Obama Was 1st US President To Vote To Filibuster A Supreme Court Nominee

Something Progressives are CONVENIENTLY going to forget.  Allow me to remind them.

Poetic Juctice? Obama Was 1st US President To Vote To Filibuster A Supreme Court Nominee
It would be poetic justice for the GOP to block any Obama nominee.

In 2006, while no doubt starting to lay his eyes on a presidential run, then-Sen. Obama had no problem throwing a wrench in the works of democracy by voting to filibuster George Bush’s nominee Samuel Alito to the high court.

Obama told George Stephanopoulos on ABC News This Week that he would “be supporting the filibuster because I think Judge Alito, in fact, is somebody who is contrary to core American values, not just liberal values, you know. When you look at his decisions in particular during times of war, we need a court that is independent and is going to provide some check on the executive branch, and he has not shown himself willing to do that repeatedly.”

In other words, because Alito did not share his judicial philosophy and he felt the judge’s ascension to the Supreme Court would not allow an independent check on the excessive use of executive branch power, Obama, in fact, voted to block the appointment.

Cruz was picked last in gym class.....he is a worm who wants revenge of the nerds on America. A cowardly lying worm. I have no problem with Senators looking at a nominees past court decisions and exercising their constitutional duty, but Ted the worm wants to arbitrarily disallow the Presidential power of nomination, which he will filibuster.....give me more attention cruz....never saw a truth which he could lie about.

Amusing the sheer desperation being expressed by all the Progressives here. They check my FACTS and find that are, frustratingly accurate. They are left with childish attacks on me.
