Filling in the Vacant Supreme Court seat

        President Obama has nominated Patricia Ann Millet to fill in the vacant Supreme Court seat left by Chief Justice John G. The Republicans plan to block the nomination and the Democrats have threatened to reopen the debate to limit the Filibuster. Republicans argue the current Supreme Court Justices can handle the workload. The Democrats argue it is the “president’s right to fill vacancies on the court” and the Republicans do not have reasonable argument to deny the president’s right.

       The nominations have become polarized to where the Republicans are trying to prevent the president from filling in the vacant Supreme Court seat at all cost. It’s not enough that the president’s nomination is candidate that is bipartisan it is the fact that they do not want the Democrats to appoint another member to the Supreme Court. The type of polarization the in this case is emotional attachments and aversion because republicans do not want another Supreme Court justice appointed by the Democrat president. Republicans should get over it and vote for Ms. Millett because she is bipartisan and we need more Supreme Court justices like her.
