Scalia:
© 2016
Justice Scalia is described as a "conservative." That's often a euphemism for someone who flirts with bigotry, and it's not hard to see the connection. Scalia, an arrogant, egotistical man was madly in love with his own importance. That he will no longer be on the court is a good thing for people with progressive views.
President Obama may be in his last year, but he is still the president. He should nominate a replacement for Scalia as soon as he can. Republicans are making a truly indecent proposal. They would like the president to defer making a nomination, presumably on the prayer a Republican will succeed him. But if a liberal justice needed to be replaced, they would not be seeking a delay. They would be pushing for an immediate replacement.
If the nomination is delayed or blocked, and Hillary is elected, count on it, the Republicans would be trying to delay or block her nominee as well. It’s all dirty, extremist politics, and that is why so many people are tick off with the state of politics today. But we can’t withdraw from voting and expect things to change. We have to fight even harder.
Life is often difficult and has many challenges. Long story short, we can’t simply role over and accept things the way they are. We have to keep fighting. "Power concedes nothing without a demand. It never did and it never will." Frederick Douglass.
