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:
James C Cox Jr You said Feinstein is honorable. Don’t mock other’s intelligence when you think good of evil people.
Why? Why NOT?
Can you prove he proved?
Don’t play dumb with me please.
There is no honor in you lying about there being no honor in his seat. Biden GAVE that seat, for one. For two, it was stolen, yes. But not from Garland, but from Scalia, when he was murdered.
Sorry. Guess I’m smarter than you
Feinstein needs to resign and go home.
Because its rotten business and a judge is supposed to be impartial and that is why the elected judges, at least in this state run as non-partisans.
That wouldn’t be hard
Once AGAIN…the SICK LIBERAL LEFTY Feinstein as with others, shot off her big mouth making a complete$#%&!@*out of herself because ONCE AGAIN…she had NO IDEA WHAT she was talking about. Lefties just like to spew vicious C**P to stir the pot but the ones who end up with the$#%&!@*all over their faces is them…because they run their mouths before knowing the facts and the truth! A liberal would know the truth if it jumped up and bit them right square on the butt and told them, “this is the truth!” And the sad thing…there are so many ‘sheep’ in America who believe this c**p these morons spews because they are so lazy to be informed and research things for themselves.
