They found that in <em>every one </em>of those 103 instances, the president nominated and, with the advice and consent of the Senate, appointed the new Justice. There has not been a <em>single exception </em>to this practice in all of American history. And this is true even when, as in the current situation, the vacancy arose during an election year. In short, this would be the <em>first time in American history </em>that a president in President Obama's position would be denied this opportunity.","url":"https://web.archive.org/web/20170208020654/http://www.huffingtonpost.com/geoffrey-r-stone/the-senate-republicans-merrick-garland_b_10258520.html","entry_html_url":"https://web.archive.org/web/20170208020654/http://www.huffingtonpost.com/geoffrey-r-stone/the-senate-republicans-merrick-garland_b_10258520.html","entry_link_out_url":null,"type":"entry","huffpost_url":"https://web.archive.org/web/20170208020654/http://www.huffingtonpost.com/geoffrey-r-stone/the-senate-republicans-merrick-garland_b_10258520.html","timestamp":"2016-06-02T09:53:55.000-04:00","bitly_url":"https://web.archive.org/web/20170208020654/http://www.huffingtonpost.com/geoffrey-r-stone/the-senate-republicans-merrick-garland_b_10258520.html","show_image":true,"image":{"thumb":"https://web.archive.org/web/20170208020654/http://i.huffpost.com/gen/4380066/images/n-MERRICK-GARLAND-OBAMA-628x314.jpg","video":"https://web.archive.org/web/20170208020654/http://i.huffpost.com/gen/4380066/images/n-MERRICK-GARLAND-OBAMA-628x314.jpg","square":"https://web.archive.org/web/20170208020654/http://i.huffpost.com/gen/4380066/images/n-MERRICK-GARLAND-OBAMA-628x314.jpg"},"full_authors":[],"published_date":"06/02/16","sponsored":false,"native_renderable":false,"featured_layout":false,"pill_text":null,"target":null,"pixel":null,"index":null,"abTest":null},{"id":"9995044","edition_id":"us","blog":false,"eyebrow":"POLITICS","eyebrow_color":"#203CDB","section_name":"POLITICS","label":"Faithfully Executed: Obama's Immigration Plan and the Supreme Court","full_title":"Faithfully Executed: Obama's Immigration Plan and the Supreme Court","description":"Last month, the Supreme Court heard oral arguments in <em>United States v.

Indeed, that is why lower federal court judges have been almost unanimous since Windsor in reaching that result. With that understanding, it is obvious why none of the four dissenters in <em>Windsor</em> (John Roberts, Antonin Scalia, Clarence Thomas, and Samuel Alito) voted to hear this round of cases. But why did the justices who were in the majority in <em>Windsor</em> also vote not to hear these cases?","url":"https://web.archive.org/web/20170208020654/http://www.huffingtonpost.com/geoffrey-r-stone/same-sex-marriage-and-the_b_5943352.html","entry_html_url":"https://web.archive.org/web/20170208020654/http://www.huffingtonpost.com/geoffrey-r-stone/same-sex-marriage-and-the_b_5943352.html","entry_link_out_url":null,"type":"entry","huffpost_url":"https://web.archive.org/web/20170208020654/http://www.huffingtonpost.com/geoffrey-r-stone/same-sex-marriage-and-the_b_5943352.html","timestamp":"2014-10-06T23:41:41.000-04:00","bitly_url":"https://web.archive.org/web/20170208020654/http://www.huffingtonpost.com/geoffrey-r-stone/same-sex-marriage-and-the_b_5943352.html","show_image":true,"image":{"thumb":"https://web.archive.org/web/20170208020654/http://i.huffpost.com/gen/2125938/images/n-SUPREME-COURT-DC-628x314.jpg","video":"https://web.archive.org/web/20170208020654/http://i.huffpost.com/gen/2125938/images/n-SUPREME-COURT-DC-628x314.jpg","square":"https://web.archive.org/web/20170208020654/http://i.huffpost.com/gen/2125938/images/n-SUPREME-COURT-DC-628x314.jpg"},"full_authors":[],"published_date":"10/06/14","sponsored":false,"native_renderable":false,"featured_layout":false,"pill_text":null,"target":null,"pixel":null,"index":null,"abTest":null},{"id":"5879346","edition_id":"us","blog":false,"eyebrow":"POLITICS","eyebrow_color":"#203CDB","section_name":"POLITICS","label":"Our Politically Polarized Supreme Court?","full_title":"Our Politically Polarized Supreme Court?","description":"A good deal of the growing lack of confidence in the Supreme Court these days is due precisely to the concern that the justices are increasingly voting in ways that reflect the political values and preferences of the presidents who appointed them.
