Last year, Senate Republicans played a dangerous game with the Supreme Court. This year, it seems to have paid off in more ways than one. They’re getting the pick they wanted — and they’re aggravating their liberal colleagues in the process.
When Antonin Scalia unexpectedly passed last year, the bench faced a predicament it had avoided for decades. For the first time in several administrations, the White House had the opportunity to upend the ideological balance of the nation’s highest court.
Or, they thought they did, anyway.
Republicans refused to hold hearings for Obama’s nominee, Merrick Garland. Instead, they argued that the next president — whoever that may be — should be the one to fill the vacancy. The GOP leadership were betting that the polls were wrong and that Donald Trump would stage an incredible come-from-behind victory.
When he did, all eyes turned to Trump — whose conservative credentials were questioned by many mainstream Republicans for the duration of the campaign.
But if you need proof that Trump nominated a capable constitutionalist to the court, watch him take down California Senator Dianne Feinstein on the next page:
ANOTHER IDIOT$#%&!@*FROM CAL.
Feinstein has voiced dozens of times that she’s very bias and nothing more than a political “hack” for the Liberals. She needs to remove herself or be removed and return the SCOTUS back to “objectivity”.
Feinstein is a crooked corrupt money grubbing puke
She’s a tool, just like Pelosi and Schumer
Notice when her aide slips her a note, she totally ignores what the nominee is saying directly to HER to read it, and ignore his words. All dog and pony show by a senile old woman.
She does that all the time like her sister Maxine.
Learn The Truth About Feinstein and Her Terrible Behavior as A San Francisco Supervisor and What She and Her Fellow Supervisors Did to The Others Who Would Not Go Along With The Moscone / Milk Agenda. She’s Always Been Pure Evil and She Literally Climbed Over or Went Around The Dead Bodies To Say She Was In Charge In November 1978 in San Francisco.
It’s a shame that we have such idiocy and hypocrisy on both sides of the aisle in this country. Judging by all the comments. People are so busy taking ideological sides that they can’t see that neither party is serving the best interest of the American people. The Republicans were absolutely wrong with the obstruction of President Obama nominee Merick Garland, refusing to even hold a hearing for him. So the Democrats were angry because they didn’t get their way and threatened to filibuster Gorsuch, even though he is well qualified just as Garland was, but two wrongs don’t make a right.so the the Republicans did the most Stupid irresponsible thing that they could possibly do. They exercised the “nuclear option” which will possibly do serious damage to our democracy. Now a Supreme Court nominee can be confirmed with a simple 51 vote majority. Stupidity at its finest!!! In the short term. The Republicans got a win, but in the long term this could be disastrous, especially for the Republican Party because of changing demographics.
Swinstein’s a joke!
She has$#%&!@*for brains.
