ORIGINAL: BoscoX Gorsuch confirmed!!! [sm=dancer.gif] This is what the presidential elections were all about. Americans are safe from leftist judicial activists for the time being. Let's get a few more now, pack the bench. Maybe Ginsberg will retire? http://www.reuters.com/article/us-usa-court-gorsuch-idUSKBN1791GR It is really sad. Gorsuch is an illegitimate justice, filling a seat that should never been vacant. It is a sad day for America, that the Republican party has put party ovr country, and circumvented our Constitution. Blind partisan bullshit. The Dems vowed never to fill a vacancy in the last year of a Republican, so this is a direct application of their own rule. Calling the duly elected government illegitimate is a call to civil war, which this is nothing new from the left. Not partisan at all. The President of the United States nominated someone to fill the vacancy (as was his Constitutional obligation). The Senate, despite their Constitutional obligation to provide advice and consent, simply ignored the nomination. (A clearly unconstituional move). As fo dems vowing never to fill a vacancy in the last year of a reppublican, you are mistaken. Joe Biden, in the context of Clarence Thomas, said there was too much political rancoor over this nomination, and suggested that a hypothetical future nomination wait until the day after the election. He wasn't even referring to an actual vacancy at the time. There was no action in the Senate related to those words. It wwas just a speech. To get from that to "The Dems vowed to never confirm a nominee in the last year of a Republican presidency." Is nonsensical and ridiculous. No Democrat conttrolled senate has ever donee anything like this.
