You need only see the current "controversy" over the mere idea that
President Obama might have the unmitigated GALL to do his fucking job and
pick a successor to Scalia - and the ahistorical, anti-constitutional,
probably race-based and definitely hate-based efforts to which his
political enemies are promising to go to prevent that from happening - to
find at least a partial answer to your rhetorical question.
