It was a tragedy that Antonia Scalia died when he did, and in the end, he was replaced by someone who likely votes along the same lines as he would have, as opposed to someone with diametrically opposed views.

So while it's a cute narrative about a stolen seat, how long and how much validity do you think it will carry going forward. Or is it just going to be an ongoing liberal thing?

Seriously?

Shoe on the other foot and the Dems pulled this stunt on a Republican President, how long would you keep going with this so called "cute narrative".

Stealing the seat that was 110% Obama's choice to make was pure garbage, and it should always be remembered that way.

I get that it will always be remembered as a stolen seat. High school history books will likely have a chapter on the Stolen seat. I agree it was a stolen seat.

But that does that make every seat from now on part of the "games that are played". Or just Trump's presidency? Or is it as long as McConnell is in the Senate? Or do you expect that at some point the Republican caucus will go, hey you got us, let's strip Gorsuch of his seat and give it to Garland.

Don't get me wrong, if the Dems take the senate, and the shoe is on the other foot, you will not hear me complain, I promise, the Republicans made their bed. But right now, it's just a narrative that means nothing in terms of affecting Kavanaugh's path to confirmation.
