For seven years, we have seen this president display a constant disregard for the process that is our three-branch system.

From discouraging the enforcement of immigration law via executive directives and Department of Justice lawsuits hamstringing Arizona to executive orders that alter the intent of passed law, Obama has skirted Congress.  He must find himself now, with the vacancy on the Supreme Court, in a peculiar position.  He needs the cooperation of the Senate to fill the Scalia vacancy.  Turnabout is fair play, and we hope the Senate senses just that.

The president has the honor to “recommend” candidates for the Supreme Court.  Confirmation comes only with the approval of the Senate. 

I suggest that the Senate have a little fun with this hubristic president. 

Perhaps, before we get started with this Supreme Court stuff, the Senate should ask for the release of those 32 pages of Fast and Furious that are inexplicably executive protected.  Maybe a little more on the IRS would be welcome also.  Perhaps the nature of the 18 emails that he exchanged with this secretary of state on her personal server would come to light.  After all, the information so delivered and received between the president and Hillary has been declared “non-sensitive.”

No, Mr. President.  The “do-nothing” Congress is about to do something very important.  It will be called again “do-nothing” when it takes its sweet time on the confirmation process.  However, when it is payback time, when it is time to return the disregard you have shown Congress, senatorial gamesmanship will indeed be “doing something,” something long needed and hopefully delightful to witness.  Turnabout is fair play, Mr. President.
