Read the Constitution, the Senate does have the right to fill the seat and sorry, the Senate is not the Make a wish foundation

Scalia’s death was not unplanned.

Crying Chuck

[pepoppins]

He has no right to even nominate someone before RBG has been honored and laid to rest! I know decency is an unknown concept to Trump, but this ploy to try and get re-elected is even more appalling than normal!!!

[tracmap]

More and more I am becoming more convinced that perhaps Term limits should also be for the house, senate and now for life time with Supreme Court Judicial Processes, (sigh)

[davidneedles]

It's a circus and you ain't invited you're the one that's laughed at joked about told about talked about ridiculed about. If it was any different they would have done passed another Aid bill for the American worker

[gwen]

The American people will correct this awful administration!!!!

[feet-xxyv]

"Nothing will fundamentally change."

[egyptnz]

It's all pre-meditated to ensure those in power, stay in power

[karenharps]

If her wishes were to be replaced after the election, then that's the way it should be! God bless you Ruth Bader Ginsberg! May she rest in peace!

[gwenyoung]

He and the rest of them all hypocrites

19 days after his nomination and approved 98-0 by the senate in 1975---President Gerald Ford then nominated John Paul Stevens as an associate justice of the Supreme Court in 1975 to replace Justice William O. Douglas, who had recently retired, and he took his seat December 19, 1975, after being confirmed 98–0 by the Senate[9][22] 19 days after his nomination.

[williamdrose]

impeaching McConnell would be the most legitimate move.

[jaigermeister]

Stop crying. President Trump will select a new nominee now.

Trump needs to resign and put a new candidate from the Republican. Most people don't like Trump.

[VagabondiOfficialTV]

I was just watching CNN and Joe Biden was leading Trump by 4 trillion points..
😂😂😂😂

[marilynKrenSew]

It's time for Chucky to go, he obviously does not love this country and is only concerned about power, money and staying out of jail.

[marshalmontez]

They speeking for themselves not the American people

[neecy]

Yes, WE THE PEOPLE NEED TO HAVE A SAY!

[ointment]

If they have "NO RIGHT" .to fill the vacant Supreme court seat. Why are YOU not prosecuting them for attempting to do so. The failure is yours, if you refuse to prosecute then you are also guilty of the same crime by association. LOCK HIM UP.

[markmessick]

Trump and McConnell have no honor, please honor her last wish.
