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:
Does this woman send her head out to get it blocked or does it always look square.
feinstein waters pelosi boxer and moon beam brown-all out of California -see the problem yet?
Alan,the Democratic party has been doing it for years.they block everything that doesn’t fit their agenda.if the Republicans try to get something passed,they have to give in the the dumocrats or it will not pass.its different when Republicans do it though.right?

The woman is simply a complete pathetic$#%&!@*!!!
She was so aggressive until he started citing his history of decisions and then all of a sudden she paid no attention and was looking up and down and all around wishing she had not opened her mouth about something she had not researched. Again I ask why do we have so many ignorant women in politics when there are so many intelligent ones out there?
