good pointed panel. How can a political party block the an appointment from the president? (ex-president now)I always thought That, has always been whoever was in office appoints the Justice if he dies during that term.It always happened, I had never been it not happen before. Republicans are so negative and don’t know how to play fair.
Lying senator “snowball” Inhofe " Last March, President Obama nominated Judge Merrick Garland to the position ; however, the Senate traditionally does not confirm a Supreme Court nominee in the final year of a president’s term. With a presidential campaign well under way, it was important to let the American people decide who would fill the vacancy left by Scalia’s untimely death.
With the election of President Trump and a Republican-led Senate, the American electorate made it clear that they want a Supreme Court nominee that knows the proper role of the judiciary under the U.S. Constitution and will uphold the rule of law. With the selection of Judge Gorsuch, I believe the president has picked such a justice. The confirmation of Judge Gorsuch will shape our nation for generations to come and Americans just like you will be able to benefit from this wise decision. "
@Eugene57. NOT TRUE. Not at all true. ONE THIRD of presidents nominated a Supreme Court Justice in their last year. ALL were put in, except one. Guess which.

The Gorsuch vote needs to be held off as its Trump’s last year in office.

It’s not cheating to suddenly do something differently from how it’s been done for two centuries, just for a short-term advantage. GOP Thinking 101.

Based on some of his decisions, Gorsuch may not have a heart ….
