Democracy in this country it seems is far more fragile than I ever imagined. Trump’s constant undermining of the integrity of the election process through direct and repeated statements that a result which repudiates him is evidence of fraud and a stolen election is a monumental

Betrayal of his oath of office, a desecration of our ideas and ideals and a savage act of ingratitude towards the generations of American patriots who shed blood so that “ We the people ....” could live in liberty and chart our own destiny. Democracies are fueled by faith and 2/

Belief. The people must have faith and belief in the legitimacy of the system. This includes the people who vote for the losing candidates or party. The continuation of the American experiment is dependent on this. @senatemajldr is a political nihilist. Power for him is zero sum

Our founders placed great emphasis on the qualities of restraint in the arguments that abounded our national beginning. Restraint is a necessary virtue in a democracy as is wisdom. Wisdom would dictate a stepping back from the line of conflict in this country and showing 4/

Restraint from the unprincipled, hypocritical and divisive act of Majoritarianism that McConnell is advancing. McConnell bears great responsibility for breaking the institution of the Senate. His acts will break the Supreme Court by shattering the faith and belief of the 5/

American people in the fairness and equity of the system. Just because you can do something doesn’t meant it should be done. McConnell’s abuse of power will have massive negative consequences. It will be interesting to watch how many Republican Senators will take that final 6/

Ignominious step and become fully Members of a rubber stamp Politburo. How many will insist on a process of confirmation that isn’t rushed hackneyed, and simply a Potemkin side act in Trump’s malignant reality show Presidency? Soon we will find out. It is all on the line. vote 7
