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:
Diane “liberal lunatic” Feinstein believes that our US Constitution is a “living” and “breathing” document. Interpretation – … the liberals should be able to put a judge on the court that legislates and “social engineers” our Constiution, and make is a politicallly biased document. The liberal Democrats must be stopped or we will turn into Venezuela,a nd have a despot leader like Elizabeth Warren or Bernie Sanders.
Thank God … Diane Feinstein will be dead before the court ever goes “libreal” and dooms our country. We not have the opportunity to keep the court conservative, and make sure it respresents the US Constitution as our forefathers had intended it.
Slap her silly, or,,,, is it already too late?
Just Patronizing the majority of her constituents.
This old hack has got to go.
You’re an idiot. Do yourself a favor. Get out of politics and go to the old geezer home. Retire. You are now way out of your league.
Dems. are pissed that they didn’t get the most Democratic thinking judges to over ride decisions put forth ……they wanted the Republican to be judge mainly because he was ”against” the 2nd. amendment.
Click bait
