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:
Feinstein is another DEMOCRAT joke and should be in prison
This just proved that the Democratic has really lost its “common sense.”
another fossil
and so is Pelosi’s husband
She has been doing this for several yrs now…..
All those who came out as clearly opposed to the Constitution, like Franken and Feinstein, need to be impeached.
She is one of the smarter Californian politicians. She knows how to funnel taxpayers money to her husband.
You probably think she wasn’t prepared for the hearing but the truth is she probably studied for weeks prior to this. She’s just that stupid.
Here’s some history:
Throughout the day, Senators Feinstein and Boxer made desperate pleas for their California constituents to turn in their guns and not confront the crazed gunman because this would be a perfect test of their anti-gun proposals.
“The Senators feel the best course of action is to remove all weapons from law enforcement and private citizens so no one else gets hurt,” said a Senate communications intern. “When the gunman realizes that nobody else is armed, he will lay down his weapons and turn himself in … that’s just human nature.”
Good for you Gorsuch!
So sad….such a beautiful State but so many blind to what their leadership is doing. They need new and fresh leaders!!!
