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:
I love the living breathing document liberals always talk about while Gorsuch said no state has ever voted for a living breathing Constitution which made Feinstein look like an idiot.
I call her “frankenstien”
Patricia, didn’t she charge the federal government $10,000 per month to house her secret service guards to stay in apartments which the federal government also built?
Dumb Bitch
feinstein is senil……I almost feel sorry for her. Her, Nancy Pelosi,and Ruth Ginsburg, all need to find a government senior retirement center.
She’s from California, liberal stupidity runs high there. And nerves disappoints.
she looked and acted clueless….a trait of the democrat
Feinstein is thoroughly corrupt!
Old fossil$#%&!@*needs to go…
