    Default SCOTUS pick: Republican hipicrisy at its finest.

    Didn't McConnell deny Merrick Garland a SCOTUS hearing by saying that there shouldn't be a SCOTUS pick in an election year? Yes, he did!

    And before our resident tRump "worshippers" chime in to defend "Moscow Mitch", the comments he made about not having a SCOTUS pick if the Senate and WH were controlled by different parties, was a ridiculous "rehabilitation" attempt that McConnell made later when he realized the FULL ramifications of what he had said.

    The bottom line is that McConnell knew that Merrick would be CONFIRMED and thus denied him his right to a hearing.

    Funny how our "phony" Constitutional Conservatives have no problem with violations of "due process" when it serves their agenda.
    Please leave your Trump 2024 signs in your yard. That way, my dog will know where to take a dump.

    "Not having a SCOTUS pick if the Senate and WH were controlled by different parties."

    True statement.

    Fill Ruth's seat...now.

    If you believe filling Ruth's seat now is hardball, consider what the radical Democrats have already done with the rioting, looting, burning, assaults and murders in cities that Democrats control but will not stop.

    If hypocrisy was a goldmine, Republicans would be billionaires.

    The demonstrations were not a Democratic planned and managed event. The dems do not have to answer for them, just like police abusing and killing minorities is not a Republican responsibility ,even through most of them approve.
