Well, to be fair to them, they're in a box, considering that Obama picked the judge that Orrin Hatch said he should pick last week.

The establishment idiots are soooo concerned that Trump will win the nomination, while they spend all their time shooting themselves in the foot.

I can hear Obama now: "I picked the nominee the senior Republican wanted, and now they're just being politically divisive by not giving him a fair hearing and a vote."

And, the sad part is, thanks to Orrin Hatch, he'll be right.

Hatch is a frickin’ traitor.

> shooting themselves in the foot.

They’re shooting themselves in the head.

But Hatch just issued a statement that he would not favor confirmation hearings because it is not just about the person nominated, but rather the broader principle at issue - giving the American people an opportunity to have some input at the ballot box this fall.

Ayotte is not on the judiciary committee. So who gives a fig what she wants.
