The Stolen Supreme Court Seat
The New York Times ^ | December 24, 2016 | The Editorial Board

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.

LOL! And the GOP controls the Senate. This is also about the only time I can remember McConnell showing some backbone.

Elections have consequences, NYT. Now get back to selling away your building.

The Editorial Board of the New York Times ought to hold their breath until their faces turn blue.

Or at least knock their little sippy cups off of their high-chair tables.

That’ll show them...

The first thing that came to my mind was Robert Bork.

The first thing that came to my mind was Justice Scalia.

easy to see why they are losing market share, advertising money and office space.
The N.Y. times is crappola.
Time for them to cut personnel again.

Someone on FB posted a black and white picture meme showing all the US presidents in rows, with an arrow pointed at Obutthole. It said, “This is the ONLY president in US history who has been denied his constitutional RIGHT to fill a Supreme Court vacancy. Can you spot the difference? “ (suggesting that obutthole’s skin color is the reason).

Liberals are sick.

Definitely stolen. By now, it should have belong to Miguel Estrada.

Yes, the seat was likely stolen when Justice Scalia was murdered by some leftist.

You mean the seat the libs tried to steal by killing Scalia?

That was my first thought when I read the headline.

Merry Christmas!

Leave it to these slimeballs to characterize retention by the people (the rightful owners) as theft. They really do believe they’re entitled.

Insane to any rational conservative; not to proggies.
Beheading non-believers is insane to Christians; not to muzzies.
Same level of mental imbalance. That’s why, I believe, proggies like muzzies — they’ll slaughter those that disagree with them. Proggies would love to be able to do that.
