NYT Says GOP Stole Supreme Court Seat From Obama

The New York Times’ Christmas Day editorial tags Senate Republicans for “stealing” a seat on the Supreme Court that should have been filled by President Barack Obama.

The Times accuses Republicans of impugning the institutional integrity of the court by a hyper-partisan charade, arguing the justices derive their legitimacy from their separation from the two political branches of government.

“Mr. McConnell and his allies took a torch to that idea — an outrageous gambit that, to nearly everyone’s shock, has paid off,” the Grey Lady says. “But while Republicans may be celebrating now, the damage they have inflicted on the confirmation process, and on the court as an institution, may be irreversible.”

Dear NYT;

Prepare to consolidate into even fewer floors of your palace.

We don’t care what these insane communist libs think and say.
There will be a great gnashing of teeth in wailing in the weeks ahead. Let em move to North Korea. They’d fit right in there.

Please tell us all again what your editorial stance was when Dirty Harry used the Nuclear option to get Nero’s agenda passed?

Yea, because he was going to pick another SJW judge that would eradicate any and all American freedoms we have left.

A few months before leaving office? Hell no.

Perhaps the NYTimes was told to write this because the Dems are going to block the nomination.

I think the effect of a split SC would infuriate the voters and that will result in a disastrous 2018 for the Senate Dems.

Yes, it's called "winning" and President-elect Trump assured us it was going to happen a lot.

And I’d change mine if one of the moderate or conservative seats were vacated!

Obama had a particular nasty habit of appointing communist bull dykes to our Supreme Court.
