The Stolen Supreme Court Seat
The New York Times ^

Posted on 12/25/2016 5:37:35 AM PST by Trump20162020
Soon after his inauguration next month, President-elect Donald Trump will nominate someone to the Supreme Court, which has been hamstrung by a vacancy since the death of Justice Antonin Scalia in February. There will be public debates about the nominee’s credentials, past record, judicial philosophy and temperament. There will be Senate hearings and a vote.
No matter how it plays out, Americans must remember one thing above all: The person who gets confirmed will sit in a stolen seat.
It was stolen from Barack Obama, a twice-elected president who fulfilled his constitutional duty more than nine months ago by nominating Merrick Garland, a highly qualified and widely respected federal appellate judge.

Um, doesn’t Congress have full latitude to establish regulation over the SC?
How about cutting it down to about 3 justices.

Let me guess. The Russians helped engineer the heist by backing the Donald. I really don’t want to read the article. Growing sick of leftists whining.

Obama said that elections have consequences. When you put all your energy into winning the WH and ignore the 45 flyover states, you get a Congress that has the power to tell your president “NO!”
It was stolen the way territory is “stolen” in war—we won it.

Yeah, the seat has been retaken by US citizen patriots. The psychopathic weasel with a dyke wife failed to steal it for Islam.

Right, like the dems wouldn't have done the exact same thing if the tables were turned.
These guys never quit. Their hypocrisy knows no bounds.

Nobody stopped Obozo from nominating his favorite commie SCROTUM. He knew any Marxist libtard would be shot down immediately by the Senate.

This is not a stolen seat, it is a rescued seat.
Obama would have done to the American people what he did to Israel given the chance!!!
To: Trump20162020
I didn’t know the Supreme Court belonged to Barack Obama.
I thought it belonged to the American people.
