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:
She is the Calif witch, from hell.
Tim you believe everything you hear your wrong in that number you and trump got that 3 million burned in y’alls brain
Carolyn Bieker lol
calif has her, Maxine and nancy…and throw in moonbeam
It’s painful having such a burden.
no revelation…other then California people, the rest of the country knows she is a clueless politician who only wants to be re-elected
This is what happens when the duel is between a Leftist ideologue and someone who actually knows the Law. She couldn’t possibly measure up to this brilliant man, but made the attempt anyway. Stupid on her part.
Democrats are so against Trump’s nominee no matter that he is the best.They (liberals ) make fool of themselves.
She’s another one of “The Old Guard” and that includes some Republicans who are close to 80 or more yrs old who if they were in the real world would have been forced to retire long ago.
another one who term limits would really apply to…a seat in congress goes wasted..
