In reply to the discussion: The Stolen Supreme Court Seat [View all]Cosmocat
(14,564 posts)46. Here is the thing - the COUNTRY allowed this
in my mind, the republicans should have been absolutely hammered in Senate races specifically, the POTUS and congressional races too, for the stunt the pulled with Garland.
BHO purposefully put a VERY moderate candidate, a fricken R, no reason that he never came up for a vote.
If democrats would have pulled that shit, they would been crushed in the next election.
Just another example of how this country relentlessly indulges conservative fuck wittery.

"Stolen" is the right word. Dems should respond in kind... block the Fuhrer-Elect's pick indefinitely. (It's only fair!)
