Yes, you are right. We stole it for a conservative justice. That was the whole point of the little exercise we just went through, stiffening the spines of our weak sisters in the Senate to hold out confirmation until the election, and fighting like hell against globalist RINOs, democrats, to get someone in who would make good supreme court choices.

Now that we have stolen the seat fair and square, you are going to have to get things through the legislature and executive and can't just advance a "progressive" agenda through judicial fiat.

Sad I know, but their you are.

The seat was paid for. McConnell won it on a bet. He was ready to go down with a worse Hillary appointment had she won.

The one that we are being screwed out of is Ginsberg said she would quit if Trump won, so we’re even.

The Left is furious with Ginsburg that she refused to take the hint and retire ... before the election.

Obama wanted to replace her with a young and healthy appointee who would plague our country for another 50 years.

“...stolen from that Obama administration...”

As if a Supreme Court nomination is a possession which can be owned.

Supreme Court appointment gives us a chance to take it back.

Folks, not to me a downer but they will fillibuster everything in the Senate.
You can bet your house that McCain will be at the center of allowing them to get away with it and pushing Trump to nominate some moderate weenie. Even worse, he will be at the center of pushing for the Senate to vote on Merrick Garland.

Appoint this Justice and get them on the court. Expand it to 11 with 2 more conservatives and then appoint others as Breyer and Ginsburg and Kennedy quit or die. Leave the Wise Latina and Kagan to themselves.
