While @BenSasse gives his "Oh, Im so much purer than everyone else, let me tell you about civics," let& #39;s discuss what a lying sleaze he is.

He declared in 2016 that Merrick Garland would not be confirmed. Period..../1
...so the president and the senate can do whatever they want under the Constitution. Got it.

2nd, he said hed confirm only if Obama& #39;s nominee specifically repudiated the very concept that Obama used sometimes, but Sasse cheered when Trump made it a hallmark of his presidency...
...oh, and once again, he said of COURSE he would confirm a nominee, if of course, that nominee followed the policy prescriptions Sasse wanted, until Trump took unilateralism and turned it into a sledgehammer, to Sasse& #39;s cheers....
..so @BenSasse - if you& #39;re going to be a hypocritical sleaze, own your hypocritical sleaziness. Dont ask us to ignore your words & bow down before you now for your "apolitical" positions

The GOP& #39;s full of cowards unwilling to say what everyone knows: "We did this cause we lied."
