Ruth Ginsburg, the Supreme Court justice, has passed away. She was a victim of terminal cancer for close to 21 years. That she hung on as long as she did was admirable. Her philosophy on justice in America, not so much.
With her death, the president has indicated that he will appoint a replacement. The screeching from the usual suspects was deafening. Leftist twitterati threaten rebellion and civil war. Nancy Pelosi, current Speaker of the House, has threatened impeachment. Seriously?? They are going to go after the president for doing his job?
Here is what the US Constitution has to say about the issue:
The president shall have Power, by and with the Advice and Consent of the Senate, to make Treaties, provided two thirds of the Senators present concur; and he shall nominate, and by and with the Advice and Consent of the Senate, shall appoint Ambassadors, other public Ministers and Consuls, Judges of the Supreme Court, and all other Officers of the United States.
I have no doubt that the opposition party will attempt to block the process. But, let's be clear about who is protecting the Constitution here. It is not Pelosi. It is not the Democratic leadership in the Senate. It is not the leftist pundits on Twitter, Facebook, or Instagram.
To show you how unhinged these people are, take some time to watch this.

UPDATE:
Utah Senator Mitt Romney (R) announced on Tuesday that he would support a floor vote on President Trump's Supreme Court pick - giving Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) a 53-seat majority and the votes needed to move forward in replacing the late Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg, according to Politico.
