Doesn't matter who Democrats put on the SCOTUS when they get a chance. They are 100% guaranteed to vote the right way (for democrats) on every important case. They never disappoint, and their personal judicial thoughts are irrelevant. They just vote how they are supposed to, as Garland undoubtedly would have.
But, yes, thank goodness the senate was able to put off Garland's nomination until Trump came in.
They did not expect Trump to win. The Swamp rats are not just the Dems. McConnell is just one of the same except with an R in front. They figured once Hillary won, they would try and push Garland through as he was labeled a “moderate”. No such thing only varying levels of swamp dwelling. Notice how the country is being run by old white men, the very antithesis of what the Dems purport to be.
You may be right, though I tend to give thee Turtle credit for the judicial stuff. He was quite aggressive with holding up Obama nominees to all courts, and with getting Trump's nominees for all courts confirmed.
Why hold up Garland if Hillary was sure to get in? I've read no Ds were privately too concerned about Garland, because he was a fig leaf to tempt moderate Rs, then when Hillary got in and senate flipped she could pull him and nominate someone of the right gender/race.
I give the Turtle no credit, other than being the consummate politician. He blocked the nomination of Garland to appease a very restless base that was getting tired of a GOP that pandered at election time then joined their Liberal friends in the Swamp land pursuits, which was grifting the American public while catering to the industrial complex.
Oh yeah, I wouldn't give McConnell or most Rs in congress credit for having idealistic principles or anything like that! I don't really care what's in a politician 's heart as long as he does the right thing. And McConnell, for whatever political reason, was really solid on nominations.
I suspect, though, that it's more a heart thing that he never really supported Trump, pulled support for good senate candidates, doesn't fight ridiculous D spending bills, loves Ukraine, etc.
The last sentence kind of reads like an indictment of what a US Senator is supposed to be. He plays the game for himself and all the Swamp and could give a rat’s behind about his constituents or America at large. When Rush was still alive, one of his last broadcasts he talked about someone he knew in the Senate. After the 2020 election, around J6, they had a Senate breakfast. It was said McConnell walked into give Kamala a hug, and stated, “things are back as they should be”. The good old boys club. Disgusting.
Garland is such a creep. Where do they find these doofs?
Just think he could have been on SCOTUS 😳
We dodged a big one when he didn’t get onto the SC
The biggest accomplishment of Turtle McConnell. It's been all downhill since Turtle kept ((Garland)) out of the Court.
