Merrick Garland!!!!! Over and over again.
Every single time the GOP tries to pull this "it's all political" crap, we need to scream "Merrick Garland!"
I heard Press Secretary Sanders say that the Democrats are trying to thwart the will of the people when it comes to a president's job of picking a Supreme Court Justice.
"Merrick Garland!"
Scalia died on Obama's watch. Obama made an appointment. The Senate GOP played politics.
Even when Kavanaugh was appointed, the White House withheld documents... politics.
I brought this over because I have a few things to say about Merrick Garland.
First, and most important, no one tried to personally destroy Merrick Garland, his family, his current employment, or threaten prison. Or worse. All of which has happened to Judge Kavanaugh.
Second, the Senate's Constitutional duty regarding the Supreme Court is "advise and consent." When Mitch McConnell turned down Merrick Garland, I sincerely hope he "advised" Snarky McDouchebag to read the Constitution. It says nothing about 'a pen and a phone.' Our government has three co-equal branches. The voters, the American people, took the legislative branch away from him and his co-conspirators, to stop his unconstitutional actions and his Marxist agenda. The American people, as evidenced by the 2014 election results didn't want him to have a third Supreme Court justice. They were simply honoring our wishes. "And if you don't like it, you can shove your pen and your phone up your butt, sideways, Asshole!"
