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:
she did not do her homework because she was not going to vote to confirm him no matter what . So what he said ment nothing to her nor did his record.
Absolutely. Never voted for any of those people!
THE PEOPLE OF CALIFORNIA NEED TO REALIZE THAT THE PEOPLE THEY ELECT ARE NOT LEADERS…
THEY ARE REPRESENTATIVES…
WHAT CALIFORNIANS HAVE CHOSEN TO ELECT ARE LAZY GREEDY MEGALOMANIACS THAT SEE OTHERS AS LIVESTOCK AND CURRENCY…
Gorsuch has proven time and time again that he puts corporations ahead of the The US Constitution
It was the dems who opened the door for the nuclear option not the GOP. They only availed themselves of the option.
they are all embarrassments
Maybe she should pray with these jokers!!
WAKE UP AMERICA!!
She is so stupid hope she gets voted out soon
Liberals are MISOLOGISTS. People that hate discussion and knowledge. Reagan said that the trouble with Democrats is that they know so much that is not so.
She is an idiot.
