From her stolen #SCOTUS seat, cynical right-wing tool Amy Coney Barrett admonished the liberal Justices for "turning up the temperature" as her conservative colleagues paved the way for a fascist takeover of the US government. https://www.cnn.com/2024/03/04/politics/amy-coney-barrett-supreme-court-trump-analysis?cid=external-feeds_iluminar_post-news
@stevesilberman It wasn't a stolen seat. She was confirmed and appointed just as the process was set up.
Yes, Obama failed in his duty to fill the vacancy with a nominee that the Senate found compelling, but we need to remember to hold him accountable for that in the history books.
He left the vacancy for the next administration to fill fair and square, which is a big reason to hold presidents accountable for not putting forward those nominees.
