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:
sadly, it’s become quite apparent that Ms Feinstein’s major concern, over her last 15 or 20 years in office, is not the good of the people, but moreso, how many strings she can pull to enable her husband to make as much money off the federal govt as is humanly possible. This is, of course, a HUGE conflict of interest. However since she’s a liberal democrat from Cali, it’s overlooked and possibly encouraged . . . . . I pray that one day they both spontaniously combust and rot in Hell, for eternity, the greedy pricks
Feinstein has a long history of working for the best interests of two people…herself and her husband.
Feinstein shows how stupid she is every time she speaks, a nut case, scum bag, leech living off the government. term limits to get these crooks out of government.
I didn’t need any proof.
She is a$#%&!@*
Feinstein is a idiot
James C Cox Jr , its a confirmation hearing, not a conformation hearing….

THE DAMNOCRATS ARE DONE…THEY’RE NOTHING BUT A BUNCH OF RAGTAG UNAMERICAN IDEALISTS!!!
