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:
It’s time for term limit we need new people in our goverment all these are a bunch of crooks looking away at Obamas and Hillarys treason against our country but money turns heads and blinds eyes so they all need to go
Democrate Party is the modern ‘No Nothing’ Party……they actually know nothing!
You sound highly intelligent. Thanks for your insightful commentary.
She’s an idiot !
Typical democratic view don’t look into it just condemn at
Just another California DUMBASS
IF SHE WAS SHE WAS NOT A VERY GOOD LAWYER. JUST LIKE SHE IS A DISGRACE ATTEMPTING TO BE A SENATOR
Good comeback. But everyone knows how little she knows.
Nut Job
This isn’t the first time Feinstein has made accusations about things she knows nothing about, if she refuses facts she makes up lies just like the rest of the Democrats.
