Elizabeth Warren Hammers GOP Over Supreme Court Obstruction
WASHINGTON -- Senate Republicans' refusal to even consider a Supreme Court nominee is "shocking," Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.) said Wednesday, accusing the GOP of caving to extremists.
Warren delivered that message on the Senate floor after a number of Republicans reiterated their intention to ignore any nomination President Barack Obama makes to replace the late Justice Antonin Scalia.
Not long before Warren Spoke, Sen. Tom Cotton (R-Ark.) had argued that taking up a nominee would trample the Constitution because Obama is a "lame duck president with a stale mandate."
Warren denounced that position in an impassioned speech of her own, saying that exactly the opposite was true.

She's talking to the Republicans who don't necessarily support the extreme Republicans. It was a barn burner and she won't let up. She says do your job!
