Republican Party looking forward to the end of the Supreme Court?

[Rev. Rye]

Too bad the founding fathers didn't provide for the current situation by providing a "If you don't do your job and confirm a justice within X amount of time, then the President can appoint anyone he wants without your say so."  Of course they likely didn't foresee one political party putting partisan politics way above the proper functioning of the country.  Or they likely thought that the voters would vote out any party which did something like that, but likely never foresaw that half the country would be so apathetic about politics that they don't bother to vote.

Of course, it should be noted that the most beloved founding father, George Washington, did not trust party politics at all and he didn't forsee the prospect of one choosing to go all Gene Tierney in Leave Her to Heaven towards the country they nominally served.
