Democrats are continuing to panic over Supreme Court Justice Anthony Kennedy's retirement and his inevitable replacement being chosen by President Trump. Leftist lawmakers know they don't have the votes to stop a nominee on their own, thanks to former Majority Leader Harry Reid, so they're begging Republicans to join the resistance.
"I want to talk to you about what we all can do to make it clear how unacceptable an extreme, ideological Supreme Court nominee would be and push Senate Republicans to join Democrats in rejecting this kind of selection from President Trump," Democrat Patty Murray said in a video produced by Senate Democrats.
“The more you make your voice heard, the harder it will be for Senate Republicans to support a justice who will take our country backward.” -Sen. @PattyMurray in the Weekly Democratic Address
But the endless arguments about Trump's "extremist" nominee, who hasn't been named yet, don't stop with Patty Murray.
During an interview with ABC News over the weekend, Democrat Senator Richard Blumenthal accused President Trump of being a "puppet" for allowing the conservative organizations to provide him with a list of qualified Supreme Court candidates. For the record, President Obama consulted with liberal groups during his presidency before nominating Justices Elana Kagan and Sonia Sotomayor.

President Trump told reporters Sunday he hasn't made a final decision about his choice, but would know before noon on Monday.
"We are close to making a decision. it's well let's just say it's the four people. Every one you can't go wrong," Trump said.
The president will make the announcement about his pick at 9 p.m. et from the White House Monday night.
Democrats currently hold 49 seats in the Senate, while Republicans have 51.
“I’ve never seen a president of the United States in effect, make himself a puppet of outside groups”
Okay...then please tell us where B. Hussein O. got his nominees from?
The old “resist, we much… we must… and we will much… about… that… be committed.” rat demand!
Like obamacare....
And there are a couple from the uniparty that would help!
>>”I want to talk to you about what we all can do to make it clear how unacceptable an extreme, ideological Supreme Court nominee would be”
Agreed.. But it’s a little late to talk about Ginsberg, Kagan, and Sotomayor now isn’t it?
Watch out if you’re in the aisle.
RINO GOP guys may be rushing over to sign up.
I love the sound of Democrat fear in the morning.
It sounds like — WINNING.
Go Trump - MAGA
Go Melania aka Lady MAGA
Pepe is pleased

The RATs have very short memories, at least they want us to think so.
At least Kermit the frog was a monogamous Puppet.
Barry the Puppet had more hands up his backside than Spermy Daniels had "male friends for fifteen minutes"...
Man, this “Whoever It Turns Out To Be” person must have done something really bad for all these Dems to be against him or her. We should just let them name the candidate, then they’ll be happy.
Support Free Republic, Folks!
>>Like obamacare....<<
DING DING DING DING!!!!
The winnah of the interwebzfor today!!!!!
Yep, the nominee will be picked by President Trump and no matter the person, the RATs will hate them.
Unfortunately, they may get a couple of takers... er, resistors.
I would love to see him gather everyone at 9. He proceeds to recite his accomplishments for the next twenty minutes and then says, “damn, we ran out of time. I’ll get to the Supreme Court thingy tomorrow.”

RevCom IS the American Communist Party...
Wait till Ginsberg is gone..
Maybe she will retire now because she cannot make much of a difference..
No way she will die there..
As a side note to this thread, please consider the following.
Patriot are reminded that, hypothetically speaking, even if Pres. Trump got the opportunity to fill the Court with conservative justices, because of the loose-cannon 17th Amendment, it’s still possible imo for the Court to flip back to a state sovereignty-ignoring, pro-gay, pro-murder of unborn children activist liberal majority.
We really need to get rid of ill-conceived 17th Amendment.
The 16th Amendment needs to disappear too.
