I heard some liberals say this seat was stolen from Obama and Democrats. And that Dems should vote no as payback for the GOP not voting on Obamas nominee to the court.

I have tried everywhere to find out what religion he is. Can’t find it anywhere. Also I’m not sure he is particularly pro-life in abortion. But he might be due to being against Euthanasia and fought for the Sisters of the Poor in the Obamacare mess and also was the Holly Lobby situation. His age is perfect. And many other areas are wonderful. I think he is a good pick.

They would vote no regardless of who was nominated. They are just wired that way.

Did Obama ever nominate someone to fill Scalia’s seat.

He looks good in every way, and he will be a welcome presence on the court.

President Trump has worked hard on this selection. This is a person of class, but the dimocrats will try to skewer him in every way they can.

They’ll never be another Scalia, but from everything I know about this man, he’s as close as we’ll ever get.

Yep, Merrick Garland. But, the GOP refused to give him a vote... last year, Biden precedent, etc.

Yes he did. He nominated Merrick Garland to fill Scalia’s seat. But Mitch McConnell never scheduled hearings or a Vite on the nomination.
