The Stolen Supreme Court Seat

Soon after his inauguration next month, President-elect Donald Trump will nominate someone to the Supreme Court, which has been hamstrung by a vacancy since the death of Justice Antonin Scalia in February. There will be public debates about the nominee’s credentials, past record, judicial philosophy and temperament. There will be Senate hearings and a vote.

No matter how it plays out, Americans must remember one thing above all: The person who gets confirmed will sit in a stolen seat.

It was stolen from Barack Obama, a twice-elected president who fulfilled his constitutional duty more than nine months ago by nominating Merrick Garland, a highly qualified and widely respected federal appellate judge.

No it’s not wrong to feel good. That said, I personally took a knee and said a prayer of thanks on November 9th. And I’m not much of the praying kind of guy.

Now let’s restore our country and our values and traditions.

[Noumenon]

Weep bitter tears, bitches.

[spodefly]

The epitome of fake news.

[ladyjane]

Absolutely. It was stolen from Scalia.

Hey Pedesta - why were you talking about the ‘wet works’ guys in your emails and saying it’s going to be a “bumpy ride”? That was right before Scalia died. And why was the location of his death marked on the map in your email?

[varon]

How about cutting it down to about 3 justices.

with the stipulation that the first three be confirmed conservative constitutionalists.............

"Wonder how fast the rentals are going on those eight floors the Times had to vacate due to their declining news business?"

What kind of sleazy, disgusting, immoral businesses would rent from the NYT? Brothels? Crackhouses? Bathhouses? Planned Parenthood? The DNC?

[HombreSecreto]

Indeed! Merry Christmas, New York Times! LOL

[Noumenon]

Memo to the NYT and all of its slobbering sycophants:

[bert]

Hillary’s fault

[Cheerio]

We have had 50 years of their liberalism, Communism and anti-Americanism.

By my count it has been more like 100 years starting with Woodrow Wilson in 1913.

[ratzoe]

The delay was fine and dandy when they thought that Hillary had the election sewn up. If we had a repub prez, the Dems and MSM would not have any qualms about delaying his/her nominee. In fact, they would be saying it was absolutely the right thing to do.

[Cheerio]

She didn't. All she ran on was she had a vagina, and Trump would grab it. That, and she didn't want to scare off Rino's from voting for her.

LOL - right on!

[Robert DeLong]

The Senate also fulfilled their Constitutional duties, you just fail to recognize that fact.

[databoss]

Could just as easily been a deferred seat until hildebeast took over.

[MNJohnnie]

Dear MY Times

It a replacement for the one you actively cheered on the Dems stealing from Bush 1.

[Cletus.D.Yokel]

:: I hope President Trump nominates Trey Gowdy! ::

I won’t second guess DJT if he does, but I’d rather see ‘The Hon. Mr. Gowdy” stay where he is at, rather than risk an appointment of a GOPe-type or even a [supposedly] moderate Dhimmicrat.

[grania]

Stolen Supreme Court seat?? How about failed attempt to steal that Senate seat? Have any of the questions surrounding Scalia’s death and the actions afterwards been addressed?

[rwoodward]

Thats what happens when you lose majority of Congress. He lost it 2 years into his first term. Because the American people voted this way. Time to look in the mirror Bary.

[wally_bert]

I’d put nothing past or below either group.

Hardly stolen Slimes, unlike what your followers tried with this current election. BTW, remember Clarence Thomas who had to sit through some nobody woman's accusations of pubic hairs on a soda can? That was a real attempt to steal a USSC seat. And then there was Bork.

IIRC, Democrats have delayed USSC nominations in the past. You people at the Slimes are hypocrites and have selective memories. Come to think of it, Obama, his House, and his Senate stole our health care system in the dead of night with zero Republican support. Contrary to Obama's claim, our Doctors were stole away from us as well as our reasonable costs. Any wonder you are becoming so irrelevant?
