Hillary Clinton made her latest appearance Monday night on the friendly confines of MSNBC’s Hardball as she partnered with host Chris Matthews to discuss “litmus tests” for judicial appointees and trash Republicans over their reaction to the sudden death of Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia plus Senator Marco Rubio for his pro-life views. 

Matthews didn’t even try to make it difficult from the beginning as he made a statement instead of an actual question to Clinton about Republicans and the Court vacancy: “The Republican approach to this open Court seat, now seems to be no confirmation, no vote, no even hearing. Not even any hearings. Nada. They don't even want to talk about filling the seat of Justice Scalia.”
