It's been less than 24-hours since Supreme Court Justice Anthony Kennedy met with President Trump at the White House to declare his retirement.

After the announcement hit the news wires, President Trump said he would be choosing Kennedy's replacement from a list of 25-individuals. That list was released shortly after the 2016 presidential election by his transition team.

Before President Trump has declared a new nominee, Democrats are arguing every person being considered is already disqualified. They're demanding Trump "ditch the list" and come up with candidates that meet their leftist standards of constitutional revision.

That was a given. They’ll do anything to stop his nominees.

The fact there is so much contention over supreme court nominees just indicates:

1) that the court, as defined by the liberal judges, has too much power

2) that the Federal government has too much power

Remember those pre-printed signs from the Gorsuch nomination? They only had to fill in the name before starting to wave a sign sure to convince us of their considered, studied disagreement with the choice.

Doesn’t matter. What matters is that the GOP can get together behind them.

So far it is sounding good.

I think they actually got the wrong name on some of them via a rumor and had to scribble it out. That’s the definition of a core, heartfelt belief, huh.

Wasn’t there some kind of nuclear option that the left enacted awhile ago when it came to judicial nominations? Mitch said at the time basically that they will regret enacting that- and supposedly he meant it about a time just like this when Trump gets to nominate judges and the right doesn’t need as many votes or whatever- i don’t fully understand it- but i think this is the jist of the nuclear option that was passed?

How’s that for fairness and objectivity? They were once the party that believed in the American ideal that everybody gets a fair shake. Democrats have certainly lost their way. Beware of what they have become.

They would disapprove all candidates even if Obama was on the list.

Article needs yet another correction - see last word of phrase below:

They’re demanding Trump “ditch the list” and come up with candidates that meet their leftist standards of constitutional revulsion...
