  2. “Furthermore, it was a Democrat, Gov. George Wallace of Alabama, who said in 1963, “Segregation now, segregation tomorrow, segregation forever,” not a Republican.”

    Yes but those Democrats are now in the Republican camp. Just look at the hate and vitriol coming from a large segment of the Republican party. Even those who are extreme by the traditional conservative Republican standards are choosing to run as Republicans. “Democratic” and “Republican” are just labels. There has been an inter-party migration over the decades and the two parties do not necessarily reflect the composition from the 60’s.

    As for the Supreme Court nomination, yes, the constitution is clear and everyone in the 3 branches of the government know their duties and powers and responsibilities. But that’s a red herring. The issue is *why* the Republicans are trying to block the nomination process from going forward. And that’s party politics. Not for the benefit of the country. Holding off on a nomination for a years diminishes the important job the Supreme Court has to do. Not only that, Republicans have said that the person Obama nominated would easily have been nominated at any other time. But not in Obama’s last year. Why? It’s because of today’s Republican policy of trying to fight Obama at any turn instead of actually to try and get things done. It has been absolutely disgusting and has been a disservice to the country as a whole.

    The Republicans should at least go through the nomination process, even if they’ll vote against the nominee, to set a good precedent for the future. If any president nominates a judge, the senate should vote on the nominee for the benefit of the country, specially when the nominee has a history of bipartisan support.

    Idealistic ideas? Yeah. But the closer you come to such ideals, the better it is. When you start moving away from the ideals, things start to get worse faster and faster.

  3. Dear Mr. Arzouian;

    Thank you sincerely for your truly outstanding and insightful
    rebuttal to MR. Wartanian’s 3/10/16 Armenian Weekly,”Election
    2016 _____________ Progressivism” diatribe.

    I,and several of my like-minded American-Armenian relatives and friends, totally agree with your articulate rebuttal.

    Regarding Mr. Wartanian’s statement “Righteousness and Left
    Leaning Progressivism”. Is Mr. Wartanian implying “Right
    Leaning is Unrighteous”?
    Just curious.
