    I know what happened in O's term. Whether it was right, or not, is up for debate.

    What I'm concerned with is Trump and the Senate doing their jobs. Now. The court needs to be whole and that means those with the responsibility need to get going on the nomination and confirmation. Now.

    Well two Rep senators have already come out against it and I suspect at some point Romney will too. So it will be close maybe even requiring a vote by Pence. Buckle down on this one it might make Kavanaugh look like childs play.

    One thing we know for sure it's going to be a woman, either African American (Biden) or White (Trump). Biden has stated that on the record and Trump's only two female candidates are White.

    The sad thing is that skill, knowledge, logic and a non-biased aptitude when voting will have nothing to do with any of the qualifications that come with the candidate we get!
    I could care less what political affiliation the candidate has if they did the job they are suppose to do. Problem is it doesn't work like that anymore if it ever did. Before long we are going to have a third political party, one that will get votes for the first time! Antifa! Coming to a booth near you!

    Joe, while I agree with your post, you have to admit that you're just a little curious how she handled the abortion question from St Peter.

    Trump should nominate Hillary. Liberal heads everywhere would explode.

    Obama made his nomination, Merrick Garland. The big difference here is that in obama's 2nd term, the voters did not give him control of the Senate, they gave it back to the GOP. When Trump was elected, the voters voted to retain the GOP majority in the Senate. Trump will make his nomination, just like obama did, and the Senate will most likely confirm it, as they should.

    All I say is this will be Washington as nasty as it can get. Sad but so true.
