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 everyones 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.

Brown outlawed SCHOOL segregation, and the basis was "new discoveries in the field of Social Science".
Like all other decisions outside of the scope of Article III, it was based on nothing.
“Ginsberg has been beating her gums about moving to New Zealand,”
Nah! She changed her mind and is staying on The Court.
Obonzo already gave us Sotomayor and Kagen. I think he has already done enough damage to the court. The slimes at the slimes can KMA.
My monthly allowance of electrons is not sufficient to list all the unconstitutional decisions since 1937.
Yep, and we’d do it again.
let’;s compare- Liberals stole America from us- and we ‘stole a supreme court justice’ Nope- not seeing the equivalency here
Considering liberals always want leftist judges to be replaced by leftist judges, Scalia should be replaced with a rightist.
It still works well for lining bird cages.
Odd thing is, he picked two overweight women. I always thought the point was to pick someone who would live decades?
The left needs to present a coherent argument that the democrats would not have done the same thing if similarly situated.
There isn't such a thing. If they are supposed to follow and "interpret" the Constitution, that doesn't mean voting or ruling against it.
Such "judges" are improperly on the bench and should be impeached.
We should start sending them tons of candy, bon-bons, cookies cake etc.
They could nibble while they quibble. Masticate as they deliberate.

Its great that he left no questions unanswered in his explanation.
Biden Rule regarding SCOTUS nominations.
Democrats have stolen countless billions from our financial lives too...no complaints there, huh?
Dear NYT: If bozo were a Leader he might have TAKEN the high Court spot but alas...
2 Things
1:Didn’t they do this to Bush?
2: I think Scalia may have been murdered. There are several things that are plenty suspicious about his death and the immediate aftermath. So it’s possible an attempt was made to tilt the court big time before Obummer left office by taking out our best Justice. Maybe l’m giving O’Connell too much credit but he may have suspected this which is why he didn’t cave like we assumed he would.
Remind me what Joe Biden said about Supreme Court appointments. Oh that is right, all Democrats are hypocrites and the NYT supports hypocrisy if it advances a liberal agenda.
She will be moving to hell first.
