The following quote is from Shakespeare’s Macbeth Act 5, Scene 5:<\/p>\n
Life\u2019s but a walking shadow, a poor player<\/strong><\/p>\n That struts and frets his hour upon the stage<\/strong><\/p>\n And then is heard no more, It is a tale<\/strong><\/p>\n Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury,<\/strong><\/p>\n Signifying nothing.<\/strong><\/p>\n Actually it sounds like Democratic Party leaders complaining about the retirement of Justice Kennedy.<\/p>\n The Gateway Pundit<\/a> reported yesterday:<\/p>\n Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer immediately pushed back on Trump\u2019s plan to get his nominee to replace Justice Kennedy confirmed before the midterm elections.<\/strong><\/p>\n Schumer demanded Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) abide by the \u2018Biden Rule\u2019 when deciding to confirm a Supreme Court Justice.<\/strong><\/p>\n The \u2018Biden Rule\u2019 essentially calls for confirmations to be halted during an election year.<\/strong><\/p>\n McConnell cited the \u2018Biden Rule\u2019 when deciding not to consider Obama\u2019s nominee, Merrick Garland, before the 2016 election. Thankfully, McConnell opened the door for Justice Neil Gorsuch to be nominated by President Trump.<\/strong><\/p>\n The Republicans should not acquiesce to the Democrats\u2019 demands. Confirm President Trump\u2019s next Justice nominee as soon as possible.<\/strong><\/p>\n Schumer laughably said if the Senate confirms a Justice during the election year, it would be the \u201cheight of hypocrisy.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n Presidential election years are different from midterm election years. Obama\u2019s second SCOTUS nominee, Elena Kagan was confirmed in August of 2010, an election year.<\/strong><\/p>\n This is nothing more than political posturing in an attempt to motivate Democrat voters in the midterm elections. We can expect all sorts of scare tactics about the Supreme Court taking away our freedoms to follow the initial hysteria.<\/p>\n Whoever the new justice is, he has the possibility of moving us back toward a republic governed by a Constitution rather than by how certain justices feel on any given day.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" The following quote is from Shakespeare’s Macbeth Act 5, Scene 5: Life\u2019s but a walking shadow, a poor player That struts and frets his hour upon the stage And then is heard no more, It is a tale Told by … Continue reading
