Krauthammer: GOP Has ‘the Power to Say No’ to Obama on SCOTUS Pick

KRAUTHAMMER: "McConnell is exactly right. When you had Josh Ernest on, he did a yeoman job trying to pretend it’s about principle. This has nothing to do at all about principle. As we know, when the shoe is on the other foot, the Democrats refuse to confirm justices that were suggested by the GOP. Ever since the Supreme Court became a super legislature with the abolition of the striking down of all the abortion laws until 40 years later striking down all the laws on gay marriage, it has been a political appointment. The idea that the president said today this isn’t about ideology, it’s about competence, is nonsense. All that was destroyed with the Bourque nomination, the most highly, competent, highly qualified nominee ever struck down entirely on ideology, and when Obama was in the Senate, he filibustered Alito who he admitted had all the qualifications. It is about ideology. It is about power. The Republicans have the power to say no. They should say no."
