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:
Poor Diane, she has, once again, proven to be a tremendous waste of tax payer money.
This is another reason we need to demand term limits and no golden umbrella and the right to fire them if they are not working for the best interest of We The People
James Golden O, in the case a justice is incapable of making a rational thought. There is one liberal justice who is showing the signs of demential. It’s not her fault, she’s just getting long in the tooth. But it looks very favorable Mr Trump will have to pick another justice to replace her. You libs are gonna be sucking some serious mud after that 🙂
Alan Niznak Need someone to wipe your tears? As obama said…WE WON. GET OVER IT 🙂
Feinstein is a total MORON!! Why and how she became a Senator boggles my mind.
If you can’t get your way,change the long standing rules.What’s next?Changing the bill of rights to serve your party?
