It was not intended for the Supreme Court to be "conservative" or "liberal"...

[kentuck]

Republicans have grown so accustomed to a far-right Supreme Court that they think it is a birthright. Either you give us our "conservative" Justice or we will shut down your government and wipe our butts with your Constitution.

Never mind that some people voted for the Democrat in the last presidential election simply because they wanted a Democratic President in office just in case there was a Court vacancy. That is why they voted the way they did. Democrats, in every election, are encouraged to put their differences aside and vote for the Democratic nominee because of "the Supreme Court".

Now, Republicans are saying, "to hell with your vote". We want another Scalia on the Court. It is our right as "conservatives".

No, they have no right to have a "conservative" court. They have no right to block the President from nominating whomever he wishes. He is required by the Constitution to do so. The only thing Republicans are required to do is vote "Yea" or "Nay".

1. It's time for a revolution to vote out the rethugs from Congress!

2. Partisan hacks should not be SC justices. Period.

This activist Roberts court has used its power to change our entire political system and, thus, economic system so that many are suffering.

3. Amen...for all the whining on the right about "Activist Judges" there has never...

been a more "Activist Court" than the Roberts court.

Citizens United in particular. Where Roberts went looking for a case to fast track to the SCOTUS.

4. Citizen's United has got to go. Scalia had some weird beliefs on speech.

How do you claim with a straight face that money is free speech guaranteed by the Constitution? Just like J. Edgar Hoover was entertained by the mob from coast to coast, Scalia was comped by every plutocrat in the country, as his bonus.
