CNN Exert New Powers By Reading Obama’s Mind and Removing His Presidency

[kpete]

So, back to CNN. Dana Bash seemed to have developed psychic powers when she claimed that:

“And as we were talking about last hour, that is not surprising in the least, since he clearly feels that it is his constitutional duty to do so. That he is the President of the United States. It is his job to nominate somebody.”

Bash didn’t stop there, though. She then demoted the President from Official President Status to Technically President Status.

“He still will be technically the president of the United States for the next 11 months, which is a very, very long time. Yes, we are in an election year, but we are barely into this election year of 2016. So you have Republicans coming back, not just Mitch McConnell who you just mentioned, but the Republican chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee saying that he believes that it is standard practice to not deal with such issues in an election year.”

Senate confirmed 17 SCOTUS justices in election yr. Most voted on within months. GOP says we can't do that no more!?!?!!

1. How many of the idiots in congress are up for re election and why are they so sure they'll be there?

2. For starters, check the Senate Judiciary Committee

which is the first hurdle in the confirmation process.

There are 20 members of the Committee, 11 R, 9 D. Of the 11 repubs, only two (Grassley of Iowa, who is Committee Chairman) and Lee of Utah, are running for re-election in 2016. Both Grassley and Lee are considered "safe Rs" -- they are very unlikely to be defeated in 2016 no matter what they do.

4. Does Bash have a twitter account? If so, someone needs to send her this chart!

Since talking heads don't fact check anything anymore or do any research whatsoever.

Perhaps we need to supply them with the facts so they don't look so foolish when sending out propaganda and misinformation!
