My opinion? The dems had Scalia murdered so they could insert a new progressive pick.

Scre them. They are murderers, GOP should evoke the nuke option on SCOTUS picks.

It’s way past time the ‘pubs developed some backbone, instead of letting DC ‘pubs pursue their selfish agenda. Does anyone have a clue why at the very least Jeff Sessions isn’t approved? Why they aren’t using this “we’ll object to anyone for Supreme Court” talk as a reason to get something done? Why they don’t say “enough” to hearings when dem Senators verbally abuse nominees?

Can we be sure Cruz won’t lean in toward the bright idea of his backers and wifey, for a North American Community (Union), like BREXIT was FLEEING???

If they’ve already claimed they will filibuster NO MATTER WHAT, just nuke them and be done with it. They are admittedly unwilling to consider any qualifications and they are completely unreasonable. What are we supposed to do? Leave it open for 8 years???

Thankfully their former mobster boss harry reid took it upon himself to change the rules so shutting down their filibuster is easily done.

The Dems had from February 14 2016 until November 8 2016 to put forth a nomination for Scalia’s seat.

Democrats (especially obama) are TOTALLY responsible for President Trump getting this pick. Not our fault Hillary! didn’t win.

President Clinton, in his first term, had two Supreme Court nominees, Ginsburg and Breyer. There was no filibuster. And for your listeners, there was no requirement that you get 60 votes to consider them. President Obama had two Supreme Court nominees in his first term. There was no filibuster against them.

And this Republican non-filibustering is for nominees that most certainly should have been filibustered, because all four ranged from lousy to terrible.

Methinks that two thirds you mentioned is confirmed by the Hillarity vote, that gave her the popular vote by upwards of 2 million.

Reportedly, that vote came from California and New York, East coast neighborhoods. Two states, basically.

Now we hear one guestimate believes that as many as 800,000 of those votes were from illegals... which takes us right back to California.

Democrats sound like deranged lunatics claiming “illegitimate” and “stolen” all the time.

Don;t forget "BROKEN" too.

Everything is broken - even when they have been running iyt for years.

According to democrats the immigration system is broken.
How would they know - their president didn't enforce the nations laws for eight years.

The education system is broken - yet they fight any efforts to make improvements.

The election system is broken - they should know since they are the ones who commit fraud on a regular basis.

Our nation's law enforcement system is broken - Is that why they support arsonists, looters and cop killers?

Democrats are on a constant rampage against everything American and 99% of them don't even know the facts about the issues they are raising hell about.
