Supreme court? Political??

I never followed this level of politics much…Interesting.

One Supreme Court guy croaked at the end of Obama’s Presidential term. (Scalia)

The Republicans in Senate actually told Obama they would block any nomination he made until the next President was in office. (of course they assumed Trump would beat Hillary)

They did that. (Held up his nominee until the nominee was withdrawn.)

Then, Fuckin Obama announced he would allow the incoming President to nominate a judge.  (hoping it would influence the election, no doubt When his nominee was already being blocked by the republicans.)

So, Trump gets to make a nominee as soon as he takes office, and does.  His nominee is quickly confirmed by the new (republican controlled) Senate.

Then, ANOTHER vacancy happens. (Justice Kennedy retired.) Only, like the Obama incident, now we are close to an election. Taking a card from the Republican playbook, Democrats try to stall and block the nominee until after the damned fall elections are over.

(Give candidates something to use as a political point.)

Same playbook.  Same play. (delay, delay)  Sad for America that politics are so heavily involved in appointments of Supreme Court Justices. Sad for the lifetime of rulings we will all have to live with.

Sad for the accusers and the accused, who will now have to live the rest of their life being remembered for bad things that either never happened or they did not want to remember in the first place.
