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 seat for you!!
Obama has one sick administration.
But Trump MUST set forth a mainstream candidate???
“These people are INSANE!”
Or, maybe, these people are revolutionaries hiding behind and subverting the 1st Amendment.
(The scu&bags never stop.)
IMHO
then we must change the senate rules to our advantage. they have ser a firm precedent
The Dems poisoned the process with Bork. Reap what you sow, hypocrites. It was about dang time the Reps started taking a stand on something. It’s the Trump affect.
Boo f***in’ hoo, MF’rs.
Merry Trumpmas, New York Times!
You need 51 votes to do that and I don't think there are 51 votes there.
Their tears never get any less delicious.
The history of the USSC is interesting, and the recent refusal to cconsider Obama’s nominee for seat #9 is not the first time partisan politics came into play.
In 1937 Roosevelt tried to add justices by adding more justices. The legislation failed.
If “journalism” was of the caliber of just a few years ago, the article would have pointed out the history of the branch.

Simple as that!
What does it take to put the final nail in this abomination’s coffin? (NYT)
We could have it labeled as hate mail and the paper would be prohibited from crossing state lines or being transmitted electronically. That outta do it.
Actually, I just read that several floors of their offices downtown NYC are being vacated. It’s a good sign that things are dicey with them.
probably not. Pressure must be applied until there is.
Because Harry Reid was so above politics and a such a strict observer of tradition, protocol and decorum.
I think you forgot Jack Mormon, money launderer, back slider, and influence peddler.
Maybe I just forgot the sarcasm tag.
you can be sure they would be ramming through another lesbian.
Did you have to present that visual on of all days, this day!
More garbage from the Slimes and another example of why it’s time for Trump to use anti-trust laws to break up the left wing media when he takes office.
It wasn’t stolen from Barack Obama it was protected from Obama.
The Constitution says the Senate must consent. They did not consent.
Case Closed.
Hypocrisy is a badge of honor to the left. It's a resume enhancement.
Words have meaning to most people, that's why their are Dictionary's.
To the left. their Dictionary is 1 (one) page only.
The left's definition of any word, is what they need it to mean / describe / intend, at any given moment, and only for that moment, nothing more, nothing less, and never hold them to that definition, because it is certain to change in the next minute. Just like sunlight follows darkness of nightfall.
The New York Slimes are a bunch of Traderious S.O.B's, in my view.
Now; if I could only tell you, how I feel about this bunch. /s
And it was OK with the NYT’s when they stole the seat from Bork?
