Proponents of President Barack Obama's Supreme Court nominee believe they have a new winning argument to get the Republican-led Senate to act — the prospect of Donald Trump choosing someone to fill the vacancy.
Hardly, says Judiciary Committee Chairman Chuck Grassley, the Iowa GOP senator who steadfastly opposes any confirmation hearings or votes on Judge Merrick Garland until Americans elect the next president.
"There's no problem with Trump appointing people to the Supreme Court," said Grassley, who pointed to Trump's February GOP presidential debate promise that he'd nominate conservative judges and specifically his mention of William Pryor.

That makes a lot of sense, if you are a total moron.

NeverTrump Conservatives: Hillary or Obama picking judge will be better than Trump
even more irrational than usual from that quarter
Lame duck, lame brain Obama has no leverage on future President Donald Trump’s nominee to the Supreme Court.
JUGEARS FOR THE FAIL!
Nobody ever said the GOPe weren't total morons.
Getting his nominee onto the US Supreme Court is an Obama pipe dream. Choom gang chump!
Democrats + bitter GOPe NeverTrump dead-enders could hand a seat on SCOTUS to this guy.
I will say it being any such comparison is way over the top and a vicious insult...
to the greater "total moron" community.
If they haven’t already caved on this, and imagine that, they haven’t, I don’t see it happening in the foreseeable future!
I think trump has a list of constitutionalists. So sorry lefties.
Congress would better spend its time (when not shaking bribe money loose from lobbyists).....impeaching and removing a couple of the worst USSCt “justices”.... rather than putting new ones on the court right away. We need a good house-cleaning (at the court, in Congress, and obviously in our White House..but the court is included for sure! Decisions should be based on the Constitution and American small-r republican principles... NOT on personal politics, the Communist Manifesto, or “international law”
I’m sure Trump will appoint a judge willing to sign a bill to print money to pay the national debt. If Obama said some of the idiotic throng Trump has, all the trumpsters would be burying him in scorn and ridicule.
Obama can make a better choice for the Supreme Court? Trump should just remind Americans of all the other choices for America Obama has made.
Amazing people ignore the fact Trump was the only candidate to answer the question and name actual names of potential SC picks.
Man I HATE these CONSTANT lies of omission.
The ignorant oaf in the White House is nothing more than the lamest of lame ducks.
Look how the degenerates at the Obama administration are coming down hard on North Carolina with their defiance on tranny bathrooms. This makes it even sweeter seeing Jug Ears being ignored by everyone on his Supreme Court nominee, that Obama wants for his legacy and the history books.
Yes. O is most audacious enemy agent to ever infiltrate America
