"The seat that is sitting empty is being stolen. It's being stolen from the Obama administration and the construct of our Constitution and it's being delivered to an administration that has no right to fill it," Merkley said.

When pressed on his answer further, Merkley said he thought any nominee put forward by the president-elect in the next administration would be "illegitimate."

And should care what this a$$hole thinks because..........
We should ask justice Bork about this...oh wait!!!!!
Now that we have stolen the seat fair and square, you are going to have to get things through the legislature and executive and can't just advance a "progressive" agenda through judicial fiat.
Sad I know, but their you are.
Waaaaaahhhhhhh! Waaaaahhhhh! Waaaaaaaahhhhhh!
Elections have consequences. We won. Deal with it.
The seat was paid for. McConnell won it on a bet. He was ready to go down with a worse Hillary appointment had she won.
The Left is furious with Ginsburg that she refused to take the hint and retire ... before the election.
Obama wanted to replace her with a young and healthy appointee who would plague our country for another 50 years.
The Rats were so confident the Hag would win they really screwed up. I love the smell of napalm in the morning!
What’s a Merkley?
“...stolen from that Obama administration...”
As if a Supreme Court nomination is a possession which can be owned.
Good reminder!
Heck Merckley you better hope this new Congress does not take the nuclear option. I mean, after all, Harry Reid thought it was a great idea!!
Supreme Court appointment gives us a chance to take it back.
Wow, this idiot is a US Senator? Never heard of him.
Payback for you guys stealing citizens’ sovereignty first.
One time the Repubs stood up to the RAT thugs and this dork gets his panties in a wad. GFY pusscake.
A lot of people think Obama is illegitimate.
Is that bill nye the science guy or the nutty professor
Folks, not to me a downer but they will fillibuster everything in the Senate.
You can bet your house that McCain will be at the center of allowing them to get away with it and pushing Trump to nominate some moderate weenie. Even worse, he will be at the center of pushing for the Senate to vote on Merrick Garland.
He already got two bites at that apple. Hell no to a third bite
Appoint this Justice and get them on the court. Expand it to 11 with 2 more conservatives and then appoint others as Breyer and Ginsburg and Kennedy quit or die. Leave the Wise Latina and Kagan to themselves.
