The left as usual will be bitter and have a hissy fit because they didn't get their way.
The ruling was a foregone conclusion, and I'm at peace with the fact that the Supreme Court is a political body, rather than a legal one. Do you feel the same way about Roe v. Wade and Doe v. Bolton?
And now you see why refusing to honor the constitution/preventing Obama from appointing the last SCJ as was his duty/right/obligation was so important. All of these recent decisions regarding gerrymandering/travel ban would be going the opposite direction if the imposter Gorsuch were not on the court. Democrats have to realize that the GOP is not moral and will not play by the rules. Being the party that does the right thing has become a losing proposition.
Yeah, it was pretty important.
Kind of crazy what they pulled - but in today's crazy political world, nothing is surprising to me anymore.
The President does not appoint Supreme Court Justices.
The President and the Senate appoint Supreme Court Justices.
Maybe if Obama and his ilk hadn't botched the job so horribly of governing the country, the American people might not have decided to take away their permission for him to nominate extreme-left judges. By putting a majority of law-abiding people in the Senate instead of Democrats, and charging them with the Constitutional duty of confirming or denying his nominees, normal Americans fulfilled their Constitutional duty. And those law-abiding Senators have been fulfilling theirs by rejecting Obama's far-left nominations, and approving President Trump's constitution-upholding ones.
The Constitution doesn't command HOW the Senate should "consent" or not "consent". Just that they must do it... in whatever way they choose.
