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:
This woman??? is a lying, POS, IDIOT!!!!!
Bonzai, baby……..
Feinstein has never been proven to be the sharpest knife in the drawer.
Please tell us something we did not know about feinstein, we already knew that a bag of rocks have more brains than she does
It just amazes me how people like her get elected.
She was not the smartest cookie in the jar! She did not do her homework before questioning the ethics of this judge!
Liberal logic 101
For this elected (AGAIN & AGAIN & AGAIN) official to plead ignorance of PUBLIC RECORD is everyone’s CLUE to how little she does and how little she knows… or cares.
SHE IS A CRIMINAL, IN THE GAME FOR THE MONEY.
Which anyone with a brain has known for years! As long as money rolled into her husband’s account and she kept being elected, then she was a OK with all the corruption too!
