Antonin Scalia is dead. But Mitch McConnell and Kelly Ayotte are just dead wrong.
Both the turtle-faced Majority Leader and the endangered Republican Senator from New Hampshire have declared that no Supreme Court nomination should take place before Election Day. "The American people should have a voice in the selection of their next Supreme Court justice," McConnell bleated. "Americans deserve an opportunity to weigh in given the significant implications this nomination could have," Ayotte whined.
Hey, Mitch and Kelly! Ya know what? The American people have weighed in — twice! When you add up the election results from 2008 and 2012, Barack Hussein Obama got 130 million votes to exercise all the powers that the Constitution gives the President of the United States — including picking people to serve on the Supreme Court.
We know this is a fact that Republicans can't seem to accept. But you'd think that after seven years, they'd get over it. We cats HISS.
