Some Democrats said they don’t have to wait for President Trump to pick a Supreme Court nominee — they’re voting “No” regardless of who he names.
Sen. Bob Casey became the latest one, saying Monday that the entire process the president has followed was “corrupt” because he was working from a list he wrote with the help of the conservative Heritage Foundation and Federalist Society.
Mr. Casey, Pennsylvania Democrat, said both of those groups have ties to corporations and he rejected anything that had their input.
“Any judge on this list is fruit of a corrupt process straight from the D.C. swamp,” he said.
Other Democrats, still salty over the GOP’s treatment of one of President Obama’s nominees in 2016, said they won’t accept any nominee until after the November election.

Leftist obstructionist Dems are showing their true colors, they hate President Trump so they'll vote against any of his nominees.

He should nominate Justice Kennedy to replace himself, just to watch the Dems oppose it.

Can Pence cast the tie breaking vote on a SCOTUS nominee?

Bypass our dysfunctional swamplegslature and let Americans vote on his picks directly, since the democrats operate as though they are an autonomous sub-state culture.

Behind the curtains the rinos are encouraging this obstruction. They hate Trump as bad or even more than democrats.
McCainishness.

He should nominate Justice Kennedy to replace himself, just to watch the Dems oppose it. I was going to suggest this tweet by the President:
"Well, Hillary already told me she would accept the nomination, But, since you're going to reject her out of hand, I need to spare her any more rejection, so I'll have to nominate ****** instead!"

The Washington Times just figured this out now? Maybe they never heard of Robert Bork or Clarence Thomas. The Democrats have been voting no to everything for decades now.

Bob Casey made this public statement just to get in the news. He knows damn well that President Trump wouldn’t even send a White House janitor to ask Casey for his support with this nomination.

If there was anything they could actually do, I’d have a bit more respect for all this huffing and puffing, but as the situation stands, they ought to just lie back and think of England.

A brilliant assessment. I would only hope DJ T and the rest of the Republicans have the same attitude, and say so publicly.

If Manchin votes no, he can stop pretending he likes and supports Trump.

I can’t wait until November to vote Bob Casey out, and give his seat to Lou Barletta.
To: dhs12345
He could appoint Hillary Clinton and the left would still be against it.
