So, you are pissed that the Senate blocked a nominee by a lame duck president using existing Senate rules imposed by Harry Reid, but want to do the same? Nothing new here, hypocrisy. If the Senate wants to go to war with a Republican Majority in congress and white House, so be it.

When Trump puts a far right wing judge on the SCOTUS with the support of a Republican Congress, the rulings for the next decade will be taking away the rights of anyone who isn't white, straight, Christian, and conservative. While that may appeal to Trump and his supporters, that is not what America is all about. In America, we protect the rights of all, even if they are different from ourselves.

LTJG (Join to see) - he will not be putting far right judges on the supreme court. He will put slightly right of center or moderate judges on. Read up on Trump's political history. See the politicians he supported in the past. He is not an ultra-conservative.

MSgt (Join to see) - Since Trump is currently naming people for his cabinet who are radically anti-gay as well as right wing in all other ways, I do not believe that his nomination to the Supreme Court would be very moderate at all.

Republicans 'Stole the Supreme Court'? They stole it by respecting the vote of the American people? I am actually sure that Democrats will do what they can BUT the Supreme Court has limits under the Constitution too and they need to remember that they are not the legislature or Executive branch. I think We the People are all around sick of the corruption and overreaching at every level.
