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:
Old cabbage head is back. I thought she was dead
Where does California come up with all these useles pathetic idiots.
Feinstein is all part of Moonbeam’s gang. The whole group is unhinged. She looked like the absolute fool that she is – BUT in all fairness, she’s not use to a professional forum. In Government in California there isn’t one – they just decide what needs to be done and how they want to do it and that’s it. Voters are informed after the fact. It’s probably been a while since she had to actually participate in an actual event that requires facts and give and take. LOL
I watched her examine him. It was obvious to me, she was reading questions someone else had written for her. She couldn’t grasp his responses well at all. I don’t think she understood her own questions.
Normally, that’s ok but she has NO BUSINESS voting on this guy.
She is NOT QUALIFIED to do so.
Since justices are so important, this is a system Congress should re- visit. People w/ knowledge should be making these decisions.
Feinstein and Pelosi and Warren have to go.
She’s paid to say &do what she’s told?
The Democrats didn’t care about anything but their Party/Power. For decades they’ve played dirty politics to subvert Republicans from promoting conservative views; and for the most part they’ve been successful. The proof of this is how childish and ill-mannered the left has become! Now the Republicans have finally refused to caved in to Democrats, and our country is better off for it. Our Constitution is not a living document, and we appointed a judge to the Supreme Court who will uphold it!
This woman is as crooked as a get I don’t understand her husband got the contract to build the bullet train here in California there should be a law against this
She should have hit the bricks, a long time ago
Old news. Done deal. Go to something else.
