Other than those 29 other times it’s never happened!
Well, they shouldn't. The American people should have a say in that by voting for the next President.....oh..wait..nevermind.
Uh..let's just change it to say..if a REPUBLICAN is in office, they can nominate a judge.
"The American people should have a say in that by voting for the next President....."
See.....The thing is, the American people DID have a say. They elected Donald J Trump to be President ( Yes, he is President so get over it already) for 4 years until January 2021, not for 3 years and 8 months. Donald J Trump IS President and he should AND DID nominate a new justice. Now the Senate, which the American people ALSO had a say in electing for a term ending December 31, 2020, will do their job and advise and consent to the President's, that would be Donald J Trump because the American people had their say and elected him, Supreme Court pick and confirm his pick as the next Justice of the Supreme Court.
No. They didn't. Barack Obama was President in 2016. There was a vacant SC seat. He had the right to fill it. Period. End of story.
Wrong, he had a right to nominate. He couldn't fill it since he didn't have the senate. Senators are elected by the people.
To quote obama, you lost, get over it.
Was Obama President?....OK. Then his nominee had the right to be..well...nominated...and heard and voted on.
The President, Senators, and Representatives are elected by the people. Enjoy the reapings of your sowing. It's about to come back and bite you full in the ass.
THIS IS IT GUISE THIS IS HOW BERNIE CAN STILL WIN THE 2016 ELECTION
