Trump is the voice of the people in the selection of the next scotus justice.
Hes president.
He doesn’t have to “wait” to nominate someone.
Thank you. I’m getting so tired of reading these mealy-mouthed posts that we somehow need to justify this.
Trump controls the White House. His party controls the Senate. There is a vacancy that needs to be filled. We do not need to justify this. We do not need to pick some moderate “reach across the aisle” Souter-type.
Does anyone think that the Democrats, if the shoe were on the other foot, would be anything less than merciless in fast-tracking the youngest, most liberal judge they could find through the confirmation process? Not a chance.
