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:
Feinstein’s a fool whole country knows it. Californians are idiots for putting her in office
She is a Marxist Leninist.
SHOWS HOW FASCIST YOU ARE. YOU admit REPUBLICANS “TOOK GAMBLE” LAST YEAR , WHICH IS ACKNOWLEDGEMENT they should have at least HELD A HEARING, and now PRAISE ” gamble because “IT PAID OFF”. NEVER TAUGHT ABOUT WHAT IS RIGHT OR WRONG…JUST WHAT WON. MOTTO…END JUSTIFIES THE MEANS!$#%&!@*JUSTICE OR THE CONSTITUTION. CONSTITUTION REQUIRES CONGRESS TO ACT ON SELECTION OF PRESIDENT’S CHOICE…..BUT REPUBLICANS THINK CONSTITUTION ONLY GUARANTEES RIGHT TO BEAR ARMS. EVERYTHING ELSE IS SUBJECT TO WHIMS OF REPUBLICAN MAJORITY. SO, THERE IS NO UNITED STATES OF AMERICA. THERE IS ONLY A DIVIDED STATES OF AMERICA. TOME TO FORM TWO SEPARATE COUNTRIES…..ONE RULED BY FASCISTS CALLED REPUBLICANS,WHO WILL TELL WOMEN MUST HAVE CHILD WHETHER YOU WANT TO OR NOT: WHERE ONLY FOX NEWS IS PERMITTED: WHERE THE RICH RUN EVERYTHING AND THE POOR GET FUCKED :WHERE VOTING IS RESTRICTED TO ONLY THOSE WHO TAKE LOYALTY OATH TO THE ALMIGHTY PARTY WHICH TAKES PRECEDENCE OVER ANY CODE OF MORAL OR ETHICAL CONSIDERATIONS: where YOU ARE ALLOWED TO DISCRIMINATE AGAINST
Blacks, gays, Muslims or anyone else you care to on the grounds of ” religious freedom”. The other country is for liberals only where all are equal: there is no discrimination: term limits: public funding of all Federal and State wide elections: no super packs: no lobbyists: no corporate contribution to candidates: a free press, and courts that are not bound to any political party. NO MORE Having a court genuflecting to CONGRESS or a President. NO more hate ads in campaigns and an independent agency that fact checks statements of all candidates. ALL ELECTIONS limited to 1 year of campaigns and limited to amounts spent.
Give her some credit. She knows exactly how to be a complete moron.
She was a$#%&!@*when she was Mayor of San Francisco. And continues in her fine tradition to this day!
She still did voted no. California ding bat
But yet the facts answered her question and concerns. She is a certified moron.
More trash from the assholes in charge. Such thieves.
I find it real odd that a senator who has been one for such a long time would come to a conformation herring of a Supreme Court Justus totally unprepared while trying to ask such important question,, I feel sorry for those who voted for her,,, what an embarrassment.
Smug old bitty!
