Letter to Mitch McConnell on his comments about delaying the selection of Antonin Scalia's replacement.

Senator McConnell,


"The American people‎ should have a voice in the selection of their next Supreme Court Justice. Therefore, this vacancy should not be filled until we have a new President,".  You seriously said that?    I am pretty sure that in 2012 Barack Obama was re-elected in a fair election by the American people, which means the American people have had a voice in the selection of the next Supreme Court Justice.  You would seriously leave the Supreme Court short one justice just for a year because of your childish grade school bickering?  And since when does the Senate Majority Leader get to determine when a President's duties and responsibilities end?  I believe the constitution has already done that, perhaps you should read it sometime.   It is just this kind of absolute nonsense that made me leave the Republican Party 8 years ago and time and again over the last 8 years you all have shown me that I made the right decision.


For shame Senator, for shame,


Todd Peterson
