On Wednesday, the New York Times issued an editorial filled with impotent rage and unexplored angst over President Trump.

Supreme Court nomination of Judge Niel Gorsuch of the 10th Circuit Court of Appeals.

They called Gorsuch's seat a stolen seat since Republicans refused to grant Democrats in up or down vote on Judge Merrick Garland.

President Obama's nominee to Phil Anton and Scalia's seat.

Instead of recognizing that the Constitution

gives the Senate the ability to determine whether to vote on a given candidate or not, the Times

Yes, it does. That's part of the constitutional system. And that's not actually a problem. The give and take, the grind and groan of politics, that's how the system is supposed to work. If Democrats don't like the outcome, tough. The Times is actually upset that the Supreme Court may no longer be a super

legislature of leftists, rewriting the Constitution to fit leftist ends. Here's their real complaint.

Quote, if Judge Gorsuch is confirmed, the court will once again have a majority of

justices appointed by Republican presidents, as it has for nearly half a century. For starters,

that spells big trouble for public sector unions and environment regulations and women's access

to contraception. If Trump gets a chance to name another justice, the consequences could be much
