Why has no one tried to put a stop to McConnell’s unconstitutional/illegal running of the Senate? He thwarts the will of the people by disallowing legislation to be debated. Regarding the Merrick Garland nomination, McConnell violated the constitutional “advice and consent”
requirement by refusing to allow a vote on President Obama’s SCOTUS nomination. Could the Obama administration have announced that, because McConnell violated the Constitution by refusing to hold a confirmation hearing, thereby wrongfully abdicating
the Senate’s “advice and consent” responsibilities, Judge Garland will take his position on the Supreme Court because Mitch McConnell’s refusal to hold a hearing is deemed a waiver of the Senate’s “advice and consent” responsibilities. What would have happened then?
McConnell would have had to bring suit and try to justify to the court his unconstitutional behavior of refusing to hold a hearing. McConnell would have been on weak legal footing. The point is, we MUST take the fight to those who would act in contravention of our constitution!
No one has been more disrespectful of the Constitution or more disrespectful of the American people than Mitch McConnell. Will we ever take the #GlovesOff ?
