The latest from capitol hill as the debate heats up over president Obamas Supreme Court that says it all. Thats a great sunrise shot there over a beautifulr lake erie on this beautiful sunday morning first day ofau spring. Protesters gathering on both ends of the country thiste weekend to rally against donald trump. A massive crowd gathered in new york city where police had to use pepper spray when the situation got out of hand. Meanwhile, trump was in arizona were dozens of demonstrators the road to the me reality to the rally. Traffic there was backed up for miles.

President obama used his weekly address to keep the Senate Majority leader says he willajo not even schedule a vote onv the appointment of supremepr Court NomineeMerrick Garland. Ri here is more. The white house is not taking no ho for an answer and all week the administration has been laid be down next strategy for getting Merrick Garland confirmation hearings but republican that any nomination from president obama is essentially dead on arrival and that the next president should fill the th opening on the Supreme Court. Democrats are arguing that their th abdicating their constitutional duties by refusing to give him a hearing and a vote. In many ways both sides are using the dcs go to strategy of accusing the other one of playing politics, this time with a Supreme Court vacancy. We saw this with weekly addresses th from both the white house and the republican party. This is precisely the time we should treat the appointment of the Supreme Court justice with the seriousness it deserveses because our Supreme Court is supposed to be above politics, not an extension of politics. Democratic leaders will make. Will they join us in doing their jobs on behalf of the American People or instead seek to further divide our nation by turning the Supreme Court process into a blatantly partisan back and forth. You can get used to hearing this kind these kinds of arguments because this fight is expected too carry on all the way through the election and afterer a chcrcrwi byby that a handful of people said theyhan could change their opinion particularly if Bernie Sanders or Hillary Clinton wins the election. Ie would rather have a less liberalul r nominee like Merrick Garland then a nominee that Hillary Clinton if she were president would put forward.
