Considering obama said NOT passing obamacare would destroy his presidency, it is no wonder he will lie, cheat and bribe to get a "win" for himself...country be damned.
Federal court judge nominations must be confirmed by the Senate....
Q: Who appoints federal judges? Supreme Court justices, court of appeals judges, and district court judges are nominated by the President and confirmed by the United States Senate, as stated in the Constitution. The names of potential nominees often are recommended by senators or sometimes members of the House who are of the President's political party. The Senate Judiciary Committee typically conducts confirmation hearings for each nominee. Article III of the Constitution states that these judicial officers are appointed for a life term. The federal Judiciary, the Judicial Conference of the United States, and the Administrative Office of the U.S. Courts play no role in the nomination and confirmation process.

What does this have to do with the topic of the thread - which is the suspicion that obama is bribing an undeclared obamacare vote with the appointment of his brother to the court.
I know its hard, but try to stay on topic.

Our political system is ugly. Our politicians are ugly. That has always been the fact. But it still manages to muddle thru and is the best system in the world. Both Party's are fairly equally ugly and neither have much to be proud on that front. Neither do we the people, we put them in office.
But never on this scale, not while trying trying to pass a nation changing partisan bill like 0bamaCare.

Let's see,....the judge MAY be recommended by a member of the legislature,...OR by the president himself OR the party. This nomination and the senate confirmation are in essense a sure thing since both procedures are controlled by the same party.
Does it not seem a little peculiar that the nomination was made DURING the time that Obama was courting the brother of the nominee to vote a particular way on pending legislation that was previously opposed by the congressman?

See above.
I am completely on topic. You're gossip mongering about a *suspicion* that Obama is *bribing* someone to do something by NOMINATING that person's brother for a federal judgeship, and I'm saying that Obama CANNOT ASSURE that the brother will be confirmed. Are there not any Republicans in the U.S. Senate? A quick look at the process for the appointment of a federal judge destroys your gossip *suspicions*.............Is THAT all you have? SUSPICION? LOL LOL Try to learn a little bit about your own thread topic.

You of course exclude the backroom payoffs by Bush Repubs to get other Repubs to sign on to the Medicare Advantage program in 2003. But that was of a minor to Medicare funds, right? Take your blinders off, please.

Coincidence? Maybe,...but doubtful.
Key words: MAY be recommended. So the Republicans in the Senate have never stopped any fed judge nomiations?? Silly, silly person. Bottom line is that in reality Obama CANNOT promise and federal judgeship to anyone. All he can do is nominate someone for that position. The nominee HAS TO BE CONFIRMED by the U.S. Senate. There are Republicans in the U.S. Senate last time I looked. YOU GUYS are talking about *suspicsions* and *conjecture*......you have no evidence whatsoever that Obama is *bribing* anybody to do anything. There's no HARD EVIDENCE, especially since the President CANNOT GUARANTEE CONFIRMATION by the Senate. Don't you all ever get tired of slinging crap? *Seems a little peculiar* and *maybe,....but doubtful* just doesn't carry any weight except when you're just gossiping.
