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:
such a geezer,thanks for helping California tank,may people find sanctuary in your private community.
Time for MANY of these old timers (of both parties) to retire.
Diane Feinstein is another one that has proved it is time for TERM LIMITS.
Do you want more Kamala Harris? Because they is how you get Kamala Harris. She was AG of California and wants judges to make decisions based on feelings and not the law!
can commifornia IMPEACH THAT CROOKED OLD HAG FEINSTIEN. Her husband Richard Blum, has been spoon fed many ca. construction contracts and choice realestate buys of closed gov. post office sites…smh…sure wish the The Heritage Foundation would do an investigation on the Commifornia State gov.
Harris is a disgrace and shows what’s wrong with California politicians
It doesn’t take someone as smart as Gorsuch to know that Feinstein is a blithering idiot
Alan Niznak get over it Alan, he was done a favor on purpose, he is not knows as a looser now, but had they brought him up, he would be a looser. He can come forward again for consideration. Don’t be such a liberal fool.
California Democrat, what does one expect.
Love it. Tough luck Diane.
