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:
California Dingbats
“Frankly, I don’t know what it is about California, but we seem to have a strange urge to elect really obnoxious women to high office.
I’m not bragging, you understand, but no other state, including Maine, even comes close.
When it comes to sending left-wing dingbats to Washington, we’re Number One.
There’s no getting around the fact that the last time anyone saw the likes of Barbara Boxer, Dianne Feinstein, and Nancy Pelosi, they were stirring a cauldron when the curtain went up on ‘Macbeth ‘.
The three of them are like jackasses who happen to possess the gift of blab.
You don’t know if you should condemn them for their stupidity or simply marvel at their ability to form words.”

She is an attack dog, pure and simple. She does not know much other than hate. Obama’s nomination was during a “lame duck” time, and such, was inappropriate. No nomination should be consider immediately prior to an administration change – no matter which administration.
I want to knowq why the traitors Feinstein and Boxer have not been indicted tried and jailed or hung yet…for all their treason?
she is a nut case
I wish someone would put this hag out of my misery.
I hope Ginsberg or one of the other old “Libs” retire in the next two years as well.
She is a Crook.
