Dear GOP: Gird Your Loins over the Supreme Court
American Thinker ^ | February 9, 2017 | Trevor Thomas

Posted on 02/09/2017 4:23:12 AM PST by Kaslin

If you think the riots and marches are bad now, wait until President Trump gets a chance at filling a second or even third vacancy on the Supreme Court of the United States. The "nastiness," vulgarities, property damage, and violence we see now are nothing compared to what we will witness if the American left see the legality of their perverse sexual agenda threatened.

With the nomination of Justice Neil Gorsuch to fill the seat vacated as a result of the death of Antonin Scalia, liberals at every level of political involvement are already throwing a hissy-fit. After Trump chose Gorsuch, radical left-winger Michael Moore threatened Senate Democrats via his Twitter account, declaring, "This Supreme Court pick was Obama's to make and it was stolen by Republicans. Democrats had better block this and demand a nom we approve." Moore continued, "Senate Dems, let's be very clear: You will filibuster & block this SC nom or we will find a true progressive and primary u in next election."

When Democrat senator Chris Coons (Del.) hinted that he might not support a filibuster of Gorsuch, the response from liberal activists was swift and stern. Progressive Change Campaign Committee co-founder Stephanie Taylor warned Coons (and anyone like-minded):

There is zero appetite among the public for weakness from Democratic politicians. Especially after Republicans stole a Supreme Court seat, Coons and all Senate Democrats should join Sen. Jeff Merkley's filibuster of Trump's Supreme Court nominee, Gorsuch. That's the kind of backbone the public needs to see right now.

Upon Antonin Scalia's death, Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell told all of America that the election would decide Scalia's replacement.

Advise and consent. Neither of these words includes the requirement for a hearing or for a vote. Upon Scalia's death, the Senate advised POTUS they would not consider any nominee before the conclusion of the election. By so doing, the Senate was declining its consent. Constitution satisfied.

Trump has to be Superman to tackle all these characters who want to stop America from being Great Again. Even Batman had some bad days. The Democrat Media is helping to destroy the Democrat Party with obvious propaganda against Trump, that never works.

Watching Trump succeed each time a nominee is confirmed after weeks of watching raging leftist dingbats throwing tantrum after tantrum is sweet.

Not nearly as sweet as seeing Hillary whipped like a rented mule on election night, but sweet nevertheless.

Yesterday Betsy deVos and Jim Sessions and others to follow capped off by the nomination of Gorsuch in a few weeks - That's Trump style WINNING!

So let the crazy leftists throw themselves tantrum parties and whine and break windows. It's the end result that counts.

Their agony just makes the winning that much sweeter.

One can only hope, but their aim is to destroy the republic.

IMHO

Trump is a brilliant tactician: By BLITZING these morons in the first 100 days he is forcing them to use all their “outrage capital” and getting what he wants done before they know what hits them.

I still maintain Trump’s greatest legacy will be putting a dagger thru the heart of Political Correctness or as I like to call it, Western Civilizations’ greatest enemy.

The Left should be forever grateful that the conservative Right, many motivated by their Christian faith, succeeded in a revolution without shedding the blood of Leftists. But as vicious and hateful as the Left has been since the election, the Right may be having second thoughts, considering the wisdom of other countries who don’t have to worry about marches and riots after they dispatch their opposition.

The crooked left couldn’t get Hitlary in place by cheating so they threaten their own if they can’t load the Supreme Court with liberal judges. McConnell flat out told them the appointment to fill Scalia’s chair was “intentionally” delayed until AFTER the POTUS election. The demodummies had their chance but failed again by not electing Hitlary. They lost and are going to whine about it for the next 20 years or so. Definitely sore losers.

By the time President Trump nominates his second, third, and fourth Supreme Court justices, the vast majority of real Americans will be bored with the temper tantrum crowd. Also, the vast majority of undocumented democrats should have been deported by then. Where will the Ctrl-Left get their manpower - once their snowflakes are too frustrated to leave Mommy’s Basement long enough to whine?

Agree. And hopefully this will lead to his 2d greatest legacy: Draining the Swamp!
