Almost nothing surprises me anymore, but I am absolutely astounded at the extent to which so many elected Democrats, especially in the Senate and Senate leadership, insist on acting like normal politics is still happening. Biden is right, PEOPLE ARE ALREADY VOTING!
Republicans are seeking to jam in a 40-year Justice DURING AN ELECTION THAT HAS ALREADY BEGUN! They’re trying to steal tens of millions of Americans’ healthcare like thieves in the night DURING THE ELECTION. They hope to steal your right to decide who fills RGB’s seat.
Biden had that absolutely right just now. What I don’t get is trying to appeal to Republican Senators’ consciences. No such consciences exist, that we’ve been able to detect over the last four years. I’m not sure why Democrat’s don’t just boycott this ahistoric process.
If Senate Dems think their 5-minute Q&As w/ the Trump SCOTUS nominee would have any effect, I just don’t know what to tell them. Would love to hear one good reason why they should participate at all, rather than doing what McConnell http://et.al . did to Merrill Garland
and ignore this nomination entirely, and litigate the case against Republicans daily and loudly. What am I missing here?
