[See NewsBusters for more. ] According to the journalists at NBC’s Today, a Hillary Clinton operative is the perfect person to weigh in on replacing conservative Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia. Co-host Craig Melvin brought on Ron Klain to blast Republicans for declaring that a new president would pick the next judge, not Obama. Klain’s bias was so slanted Melvin felt the need to note, “Full disclosure here this morning, you're working with the Clinton campaign this election cycle. We want to make sure folks know that.” An outraged Klain complained, “What the Republicans are proposing is an unprecedented three branch gridlock of the federal government. They say the President shouldn't nominate someone. They say the Supreme Court should remain deadlocked at 4-4 for two terms.”
