Nothing in the Constitution, constitutional convention or ratification debates demands that Congress bring up a judicial nomination. However, President Obama is in a rush to replace Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia with a radical leftist and is trying to pack the court on his way out the door. Senate Republicans need to stop Obama from doing this and need to be more forceful in their opposition. Right now, Senators Mitch McConnell and Charles Grassley are giving passive opposition to Obama. These senators are part of the same crowd that forfeited Congress’s power of the purse and power to make Treaties to the executive branch. Later, Sen. Marco Rubio is wrong in accusing Sen. Ted Cruz when it comes to his record on immigration. Cruz didn’t support amnesty, and did everything he could to stop the Gang of 8 bill. He even lobbied the House Republicans to defeat it. Rubio payed lip service to opposing amnesty and broke his promise to the American people, while Cruz kept his word on opposing amnesty.
