Well…as you have seen here before, one of the joys of my life is calling out the hypocrites on the right I guess whenever they open their mouths…now, they are at it again with the death of Antonin Scalia yesterday…now, you have heard me go on about Scalia and his wrongheadedness on almost every opinion he ever wrote, and all you have to do is read his Bush v. Gore, Hobby Lobby, and Citizens United opinions to see what I mean…he had a penchant for just making stuff up to meet his biases…and his ethical challenges were well known with his frequent trips to the Koch brothers secret meetings where at least the appearance of impropriety oozed out of him. But now that he has died, the repubs hypocrisy is on full display…on a daily basis, these idiots rail and rail about the constitution and that Obama is tearing it up….as soon as the death was announced, the repubs new meme is that, since Obama is in the last year of his term, we should wait to name a new justice until the next president is elected…and they are justifying that by constitution, constitution…something something….well…there is nothing in the constitution that says a president can’t appoint someone in his last term…not anywhere…and, to leave a vacancy on the court for a year has never been done…even saint Ronnie of Reagan appointed one in his last year….I really do hope that the repubs will carry through on their threats to not approve any nominee….and then, when we win the election and take back the senate, we can get a real progressive on the court that will start to repeal all of the wrongheaded crap that the conservatives have foisted on this country….geez…
