Liz Peek: Democrats are furious about Trump and the Supreme Court – They have only Obama to blame

By Liz Peek | Fox News

Though they won’t admit it, Democrats are suffering continued fallout from the arrogance of the Obama White House. Liberals are furious that President Trump will have the opportunity to appoint another justice to the Supreme Court, thus cementing a conservative majority for the foreseeable future.

Moreover, liberals are upset that the Trump administration may have convinced Justice Anthony Kennedy to recently announce his retirement, viewing that effort as dirty pool. That Kennedy, age 81, is nobody’s fool – and is unlikely to have been manipulated – appears irrelevant.

The real offense, which actually merits outrage from the left, is that President Obama did not convince liberal Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg to retire during the many years that Democrats controlled the Senate.

Ginsburg is 85. She will surely leave the bench in the next few years, opening up the possibility that the Supreme Court will have an even greater conservative cast – one that might indeed persist for a generation.

If they really want to blame someone, anyone.... they can blame God.  I suspect ....that He finally got fed up with the American leftists recycling the souls of the innocent, His greatest gift to humans, via abortion.   He is nudging America away from that heinous practice, apparently.

They were so sure that Hillary had it in the bag that they didn't feel the need to push appointments during 0's last term.

They were certain that the fix was in.... the same fix that got Obama elected, even tho he was a virtual unknown to most Americans.... and the ones that knew him (like myself) didn't like AT ALL what we knew.

I have to believe that God intervened and gave us another chance as a nation.  Let's not blow it this time and from here on.

There is also Harry Reid, who established the precedent for voting on judicial nominations by majority vote just so Obama could pack the federal circuit.  But for that, Gorsuch might very well have been rejected, and the democrats might actually have had a real influence in the upcoming nomination.

Good point.  Thank you, Harry Reid.

That was almost a textbook example of the adage “careful what you wish for, you might get it.”
