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:
tell her to talk to schumer
her kind is what is unconstitutional. what her ilk will not do to have absolute power, the want to be on the court. but hell no. we do not need more trash on the coutrt
Hey lady,your party did it in 2007.Don’t you follow your patry history.Just ask chuck schumer about 2007.
He has done what he wants anyway. The sad thing is none of our government has the balls to do anything about it.
What an idiot.
You are a LIAR! It is not un-constitutional and the court can simply refuse to hear anything until a new president is sworn in and a replacement confirmed! Obama is wanting it all his way…so far Congress has given it to him, if they go along with this, they need to ALL be kicked out!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Oh now we are remembering the Constitution? What hypocrisy!
No, it’s not
Crazy woman screaming unconstitutional now but what about all the times Obama did everything unconstitutional but you are wrong it is OK for the Senate to block the pic the Supreme Court
Senate Schumer took a similar position in 2007 against President Bush.
