Obviously people wanna fill the seat, it's the most powerful position in the entire US, with someone who has an ideology similar to theirs. Lots of people don't want President Trump picking a conservative candidate, lots of people don't want a liberal one.

Two things to keep in mind, one, when a person becomes a supreme court justice they often shed their conservative values they paid lipservice to in order to get elected, and two, that person is going to directly shape the nation for the rest of their life, which possibly means our entire life.

It shouldn't be a surprise it's so contentious, or that people didn't want Obama to appoint someone on his tail end of the presidency, or Trump's.

Trump did suggest that shit weasel Cruz as a potential candidate despite railing against him during the last election. This is a more important role than President so if someone wasn't fit for President they sure as shit aren't fit for the Supreme Court.

And that's all I gotta say about that.
