the president was elected by a majority, the senate is a majority of republicans as well as the house. So why should the minority call the shots? If you don't like it, I suggest you follow the constitution and try to win an election...

The system we have that the president doesn't just get to do everything he damn well pleases. His judge appointees have to be approved by the senate. It is the socialists that are not following the system (i.e. the Constitution) The majority of the Senate will vote his nominees in; just like it says in Article 2 section 2 clause 2 of the Constitution. He shall have Power, by and with the Advice and Consent of the Senate, to make Treaties, provided two thirds of the Senators present concur; and he shall nominate, and by and with the Advice and Consent of the Senate, shall appoint Ambassadors, other public Ministers and Consuls, Judges of the supreme Court, and all other Officers of the United States, whose Appointments are not herein otherwise provided for, and which shall be established by Law: but the Congress may by Law vest the Appointment of such inferior Officers, as they think proper, in the President alone, in the Courts of Law, or in the Heads of Departments.
