So the Supreme court dude who was so rude to everyone about everything has died and his position needs to be filled. Republicans want to wait until the next president is elected, cuz they think it'll be Trump or someone from their side... lol. Anyways, they don't like Obama and have been trying to ruin him since forever so they are saying that any suggestion Obama makes about the next Supreme Court Justice will be met with resistance, just because they hate Democrats and him.
I haven't lived long enough to see this happen more than once, but apparently this is the first time in 80 years it's happening in election year. This seems so petty to me because they want to get back at Obama who will only be here another year, but they are so selfish they don't realize this will impact all the rest of us as citizens. Sometimes I believe the U.S. just doesn't think about what it's doing, like when we put Natives on reservations, or allowed slavery, or had the Chinese Exclusion acts, or didn't let women vote, or put the Japanese in interment camps, or annexed an entire country (Hawai'i) without their permission, or tried to ignore the cries of our spanish-speaking neighbors. I hope that whoever the next Supreme Court Justice person is helps America use it's head a little better.
