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:
Idiotass old$#%&!@*………….
She’s a corruptifornian….
Alan Niznak I wouldn’t hold my breath on “turning tables”.
Stone cold uninformed, and this kind of Leadership is why our country is in a mess. A bad lawyer wouldn’t go to court totally ignorant of facts and information. In this woman’s position she should always be prepared and informed, so as not to be made to look ignorant like this.
What the Senate studiously avoids acknowledging is what Gorsuch was telling them for four days: You guys wrote lousy laws and then expected the courts to ignore the loopholes or mistakes in them and legislate emotionally, from the bench to get the verdict that you wanted. That isn’t our job; we are to judge according to the way a law is written. If you want a different, more compassionate law, write a law that does what you mean. The Senate obviously has either a mental block or such a high sense of pride that they couldn’t believe they were being criticized for their inept performance; after all, they’re SENATORS!!!. Basically incompetent but Senators, none the less.
Of course she knows nothing…..she is a libtard
Feinastein is exposed for the fool that she is.
I already knew that she knows nothing!! For a long time now!!
