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:
Burn in Hell miss Feinstein
Demoncrats don’t care about the truth.
It wasn’t slam dunk!
Voter fraud and illegals vote the democrats in
Please show me something to prove this.
This is how I will remember her
She is a pathetic old bat..!!
In all fairness… most people in California do not pay attention to politics.
I know this because I lived there for many years.
I think this election has got the attention of a lot of people that never before really cared about politics.
2020 will be the turning point for California. ….if they can survive till then 😀
If brains were dynamite,
this hag wouldn’t have
enough to blow her nose.
Give me a break. She makes up lies like the rest of the Democrats? Do you read the news about what comes out of the new administration
