Just moments after Antonin Scalia’s untimely death, D.C. was lit aflame with controversy over the nomination of his replacement. Republicans said that a replacement should be appointed by the next President, and the Democrats responded by attacking the GOP’s actions as unconstitutional.
Never one to fall out of step with her party, Elizabeth Warren unsurprisingly sided with her fellow Democrats, going so far as to accuse Republican love for the constitution was nothing more than “empty talk.”
If Warren truly had the grasp of the Constitution she claims she has, she would acknowledge the fact that sending someone to the Supreme Court is a two-branch process, not just the Presidents’.
She may be right, the American people did have a say in the nomination process when they elected Barack Obama to the oval office, but they also had a say when they acknowledged their mistake and sent the President a Republican Senate just two years later.
Somehow, though, she doesn’t seem to agree. See her full statement on the next page:
So wrong!
Are you or aren’t you Native American Warren?
THE DEMOS HAVE SET THE POLICY FOR LAME DUCK PRESIDENTS APPOINTMENTS TO THE SCOTUSA – CHECK IT OUT !!!
Scalia wanted to arrest Obama and Hillary he was found with a pillow over his head and his security guards were not there !!!! make this viral Why not go threw with Hillary and Obamas arrest as Scalia suggested for High Treason and Terrorism
Of course it’s unconstitutional when someone opposes the Democratic agenda.
Now the democraps wanna use the constitution, how about you mirons read and follow the rest of the constitution!
Maybe she should repeat high school civics and pay attention this time
But its ok for dems to do it

Dems in Senate passed a resolution in1960 against election year Supreme Court appointments
By Thomas Lifson
Read it and weep, Democrats. The shoe is on the other foot. David Bernstein at the Washington Post’s Volokh Conspiracy blog:
Thanks to a VC commenter, I discovered that in August 1960, the Democrat-controlled Senate passed a resolution, S.RES. 334, “Expressing the sense of the Senate that the president should not make recess appointments to the Supreme Court, except to prevent or end a breakdown in the administration of the Court’s business.” Each of President Eisenhower’s SCOTUS appointments had initially been a recess appointment who was later confirmed by the Senate, and the Democrats were apparently concerned that Ike would try to fill any last-minute vacancy that might arise with a recess appointment.
But yet she is consistently silent when Obama over extends his Executive powers. Pick and choose…
