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:
Our Representative Republic.
Sure founding fathers set this up so that anyone with a large amount of dark money made off the backs of their slave workforce can pay for influence and policymakers to change the rules to fit them Selves even if they need to buy a few judges
Put McCain and Ryan on there, too !
None of the CA senators or house reps represent my concerns. We need new leadership in CA
The old brain dead thing needs to go back to the home and change her depends.
Did you see the pictures of dead babies….?
Watch Diane since she was associated mayor. Has not got any better.
Frankenstein and the other democraps want someone that will trash the constitution and vote their way!
Let’s pray for this man for strength
Feinstein the freedom hating career politician.
