MSNBC Host's Meltdown Over Trump's Supreme Court Pick Will Leave You Speechless
Liberals are losing their minds.
Donald Trump will have the opportunity to appoint a Justice to replace the retiring
Anthony Kennedy, and the left could be headed for a generation of legal defeats.
That led to one MSNBC host losing his mind with an on-camera meltdown that will leave
you speechless.
Liberals are still furious about Mitch McConnell blocking Barack Obama from nominating Merrick
Garland to replace the deceased Antonin Scalia in 2016.
Obama was a lame duck President and McConnell was following the precedent set by a then
Delaware Senator Joe Biden back in 1992.
When President George H.W. Bush was running for re-election, Biden stated no Supreme Court
nominations should be made in an election year.
At the time, Biden stated, "Given the unusual rancor that prevailed in the (Clarence) Thomas
nomination, the need for some serious reevaluation of the nomination and confirmation process,
and the overall level of bitterness that sadly infects our political system and this presidential
campaign already, it is my view that the prospects for anything but conflagration with respect
to a Supreme Court nomination this year are remote at best."
Republicans followed that rule and did not hold any hearings or votes on Garland's
nomination.
McConnell reasoned that with Obama resting in lame duck status, it was up to the American
people to decide who they wanted filling Scalia's seat.
The gamble paid off and after Trump won the election, he nominated Neil Gorsuch to fill
Scalia's seat.
Now Justice Kennedy's retirement only further enrages the left.
Kennedy had provided the swing vote on cases that advanced the radical homosexual agenda
and cemented Roe v. Wade as law.
A conservative replacement could undo the social engineering the left has imposed through
the courts that they could never win at the ballot box.
And Chris Matthews – host of MSNBC's "Hardball" – expressed the growing furor from the left
when he demanded "vengeance" for the Republicans blocking Garland's nomination.
Matthews ranted:
"I think the Democrats…have to fight this tooth and nail.
They have to use every process opportunity they have to stop this, until next year, when
we have a new Senate.
We don't know whether next year's Senate will be Republican or Democratic-dominated.
But to give this to the Republicans when they control the Senate, basically, 51 or 50 to
49, really, with John McCain perhaps not voting again, to give them this last chance to pack
the court, 5-4 again, hard conservative, I again — I say this, the base will attack
the leadership for this, if they allow it to happen, and they should.
Because this is time for vengeance for what happened 2 years ago."
But the two elections are apples and oranges.
2018 is a midterm election year.
The question of who the American people wanted picking Supreme Court justices was settled
in the 2016 election.
Voters decided they wanted Donald Trump making Supreme Court nominations until 2020.
Matthews rant may have thrilled liberal viewers, but it was not grounded in reality.
