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:
Feinstein is about the same caliber as Hillary Clinton, Pelosi and PorkerhHauntUs. I would not vote for her for Dog Catcher ! She is one of America’s shame !
I hope President Trump investigates Feinstein’s husbands financial holdings as well as hers. Something is not right here….
This is a classic case of Mensa meets meatball. How humbling this should be to her.
The only qualification to become a senator is to be less unpopular than the other guy. That is why we have such losers and nutjobs in Congress.
Feinstein is a Corrupt, POS, ANCIENT LIAR. Period.
Gorsuch makes these Senators look Stupid. ( and they are ).
Old news already.
ALL Republicans are either stupid or mean-spirited or both. Gorsuch, who wanted tha ttruck driver to freeze to death, is a mean-spirited$#%&!@*
He doesn’t need to spend time proving that. We all know “dingy Diane”.
Another braindead hypocrite and yes, her husband is stealing from us.
