"The seat that is sitting empty is being stolen. It's being stolen from the Obama administration and the construct of our Constitution and it's being delivered to an administration that has no right to fill it," Merkley said.

Your team was trying to pack the court with justices which can not be described here (because children may be reading). You’re mad because you guys were stopped on the one yard line on fourth down. Now, we have to march all the way back down the field to undo the gains you made. Life is like that.
