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.

No, NYT Editorial Board, we are just taking back what was taken from us when Robert Bork was trashed and destroyed because they didn’t like him.... and Ronald Reagan didn’t get his man appointed. A man who was IMMENSELY respected in the legal community.
“by nominating Merrick Garland, a...” protege of Jamie Gorelick.
That connection alone made Garland toxic.
It’s times like this that I am so glad Obama is feckless and lazy. NYT should ask him why he did practically nothing to force the issue on the Senate. Heavy golf schedule?
imagine if Ginsburg didn’t wake up with a pillow over her head. We would never hear the end of it
What’s a NYT?
Listen, you old grey whore, that seat ain’t yours. You don’t own it.
I’d like to hope there will be a real investigation into Antonin’s demise.
Seeing buzzi-berg take a permanent nap anytime starting after inauguration day would be a great thing too. She can rot with Janet el reno.
You hit the bulls eye. The first thing that came to my mind was Robert Bork.
Stolen Presidency, stolen Supreme Court seat. How about stolen journalism by the Times, posing as a legitimate newspaper?
Pubic lice.
Pinch has his panties in a wad.
To bad so sad.
Merry Christmas.

N. Y. T. Horse. Sh*t.
Boo Hoo! You lost ! We won! Ice it.
Agreed - a very nice Christmas present indeed - delicious liberal tears for the Holidays. Yum.
On a related note, one thing the Senate HAS been doing right is not approving other Federal judgeships. Including the open Supreme Court seat there are 107 of 890 (12%) open seats on the Federal and Appelate bench. By the Reid Rule, 106 of those cannot be filibustered.
Think about that for a minute and “Ho, ho, ho, Merry Christmas!”

Whether we will ever know the half of what really happened, the result was that a lot of people were now playing attention and playing for keeps. Just ask Seth Rich. Oh sorry, we can't!
Prayers this season for families of both victims.
Now get Ginsberg and Breyer out and you get 3 young conservative justices in there. Trump needs to go balls to the wall and put Ann Coulter in there lol.
Oh the vapors!
The NYT steals away the truth everyday!
FAKE news!
The election of Trump is a gift that keeps on giving!
