The New York Times Christmas Day editorial tags Senate Republicans for stealing a seat on the Supreme Court that should have been filled by President Barack Obama.
The Times accuses Republicans of impugning the institutional integrity of the court by a hyper-partisan charade, arguing the justices derive their legitimacy from their separation from the two political branches of government.

The leftist NY Times obviously has no memory of how the democrats destroyed the nomination of Miguel Estrada to the federal court of appeals by Bush by abusing filibusters. All because he was a young, latino, conservative pro-life nominee with impeccable credentials and ethnicity that made him off-limits for the leftist senate democrats to allow. His wife died during the tortuous confirmation process, but Estrada took it all like a gentleman. Estrada later urged the senate not to do the same to Kagan as was done to him.
Leftists have no tolerance for a taste of their own medicine. To hell with the NYT.

And stay awake long enough to sit through a State of the Union speech even if it is BS like when obambam gives it.
Ha! Good stuff, thanks.
Funny how, when our side does something they don’t like, they say we have done “irreparable damage”. When they do it, it’s called, “we won, get over it”.....
I didn’t know it was Obama, I thought it was the American citizens...
Thanks...It WAS entertaining the way he tried to avoid completely stepping on his dick when he has to ad-lib a response and avoid going into the “Er...ah...um...er...um...ah” mode.
What a tool.
