As you listen to the sanctimonious wailing of the GOP Senators ...
Remember these comments from last fall. It would be really nice if the news media would remember them too:
"If Hillary Clinton becomes president, I am going to do everything I can do to make sure four years from now, we still got an opening on the Supreme Court. --- Senator Richard Burr
There is certainly long historical precedent for a Supreme Court with fewer justices. I would note, just recently, that Justice Breyer observed that the vacancy is not impacting the ability of the court to do its job. Thats a debate that we are going to have. --- Senator Ted Cruz
"I promise you that we will be united against any Supreme Court nominee that Hillary Clinton, if she were president, would put up. --- Senator John McCain
We're seeing a lot of calling for the smelling salts over the Democratic filibuster.
Please ...
