You know.. I did wonder why the Dem didn’t fight like hell to get Obama’s appointment...
And the answer was obvious they were SO SURE Hillary would win and win big over Trump ...then the Dem could pick a really crazy hardcore leftist and beat the Rep. over the head with obstruction of the new president in the press

There is nothing in the Constitution stating how many Justices shall be on the Supreme Court, only that Congress may “advise and consent”.
Congress is “advising and consenting” to 8 justices.
Deal with it.

Nothing was stolen. Obama got to make his nomination.
The Senate advised that it was best to let the people decide in the upcoming election, so consent was deferred.

If it were 2008 and George W. Bush was still in office, what would Harry Reid have done?
Senator Merkley is a hypocrite.

Who is this moron, anyway?
But to clarify for him: The authority to appoint the next Supreme Court Justice was given to President-elect Trump by the American people.
