NYT Says GOP Stole Supreme Court Seat From Obama
dailycaller.com ^ | 12/25/16 | Kevin Daley

The New York Times’ Christmas Day editorial tags Senate Republicans for “stealing” a seat on the Supreme Court that should have been filled by President Barack Obama.

The Times accuses Republicans of impugning the institutional integrity of the court by a hyper-partisan charade, arguing the justices derive their legitimacy from their separation from the two political branches of government.

“Mr. McConnell and his allies took a torch to that idea — an outrageous gambit that, to nearly everyone’s shock, has paid off,” the Grey Lady says. “But while Republicans may be celebrating now, the damage they have inflicted on the confirmation process, and on the court as an institution, may be irreversible.”

I guess we’re going to have give credit to Mitch McConnell for not bending over for this one.
At least he did one thing right...

....I doubt you whined when this was pulled on Reuplicans...

The rules are ALWAYS different for Democrats. However, Americans are wising up to their deceit. Thus, November 8th.

The NYT is a fifth-column media liar.

1954 (Brown)

Brown v. Board of Education was beyond the Court's authority? It overruled Plessy v. Ferguson (1896). Was Plessy beyond the Court's authority? If so, then the two decisions cancel out.

I find this much more satisfying to view:

I still laugh when I see it!

“Ginsberg has been beating her gums about moving to New Zealand,drama to ensue.”

At this juncture, Ginzberg had better do some pre-planning for her 24 hour “quickie” Jewish dirt nap. And she’d better not plan on Scalia “greeting” her on the other side. Where she’s going my bet is that Scalia doesn’t even visit.

Obama could have nominated a patriotic constitutionalist at any time and the Republican Senate would have confirmed him quickly. The far-left just doesn't like it when elections have consequences for them!.

LOL!

.... "their [SCOTUS legitimacy] separation from the two political branches of government."

Sheer idiocy. The Supreme court is anything but separated from the two other political branches. In fact they are purposefully intertwined because one chooses, and the other gives advice and consent.

The way I look at it, Trump will parallel track TWO SCOTUS positions: one for Scalia, one for Ruth Buzzy Ginzberg.

More FAKE News. Someone call Hillary Clinton and tell her to wave her red flags at the news empire.

NYT Building is right across 8th Avenue from the Port Authority Bus Terminal. Very convenient, in that they just need to cross the street to find “prospective journalists” aka prostitutes.

Don’t call it stealing when it doesn’t belong to O in the first place. No one person owns the government or any of its positions. It belongs to “we the people!”
