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:
What a fool Feinstein is. Why in the world are idiots like that allowed to open their mouths for any reason.
Agree
He handed her$#%&!@*to her at these hearings
Thought that old bag passed
Same could be said for all the republicans name anything they have done for the people in the last ten yrs except obstruct
I have talking to everyone about Her, #NOBLUNTS & Clever for Decades. IMO All of them are worthless, big Lobbyists Money Grabbers and totally Ignorant of Legislation they vote on, yet never ever Read to prepare. Here’s another case on point. We have to get “Term Limits in Congress Now” #Patriots #DEPLORABLESUNITES #MAGA #AMERICAFIRST #MiddleAmericaMatters #HighOnHope
You all right
She is just about as smart as Liz and Nancy. Talk about the three stooges . Some one needs to$#%&!@* slap all 3.
Google “DiFi milcon” and watch what happens. Or, you can go the long way around and Google Diane Feinstein and Military Contracts. Her husband’s company is getting sweetheart deals, like buying retired government properties for $1 and selling it for $1 million or more. Imagine if a Republican did that.
It’s time for her to resign!
