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

Republican Party looking forward to the end of the Supreme Court?
I am deeply disturbed that this is happening; it's bad enough that Congress has been doing its damnedest to avoid appointing a justice to replace Scalia, but hearing many in the Republican Party demonstrate they're willing to do so for the forseeable future horrifies me to no end. At least when they threatened to tank the American economy, they had the sense to cave in at the last minute and raise the debt ceiling. But with this, they're apparently willing to allow the potential extinction of one of the branches of government because their preferred candidate didn't win.

This Could Be the Beginning of the End of the Supreme Court As We Know It

Quote:Maybe Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.) had the right idea after all. Maybe Republicans are willing to trigger a constitutional crisis over the Supreme Court.

Some conservatives certainly seem to be warming up to McCain’s controversial suggestion last week that Senate Republicans should dig in their heels and block any and all Supreme Court nominees put forth by a future President Hillary Clinton.
Who needs a fully functioning Supreme Court after all?

“As a matter of constitutional law, the Senate is fully within its powers to let the Supreme Court die out, literally,” wrote the Cato Institute’s Ilya Shapiro in a column Wednesday on The Federalist.

Hey, Jackasses, I can't believe we have to keep telling you this, but keeping the US economy from going literally bankrupt is not optional. Cooperation with the President over issues you admit are reasonable is not optional.  Allowing one of the key branches of the Federal Government to survive is not optional. DOING THE JOB YOU SPENT SO MUCH TIME AND MONEY CAMPAIGNING TO GET IS. NOT. FUCKING. OPTIONAL.
I'm sorry for the extreme font sizes, but seriously, it was the only way to properly convey the rage I feel at this major problem.
