Reagan put Kennedy up there after the Democrats rejected Bork and Ginzburg was outed by the media for smoking pot. The Democrats are the ones who dragged the process out through their fighting each nomination. The original nominations occurred in 1987.
Yes, and the dems arg against the candidates were based on the candidates themselves, not the process.
Repubs should do the same now. However, with McConnell coming off the bat whining about process only tells me that he’s not willing (nor any other rino) to make an argument against a candidate as they should, and certainly not out of any sense of morality or interest in serving the country.
In other words, the line he’s drawing is a faux one, and I expect the worst. He may as well be saying “Once this process argument is out of the way, we’ll take anyone you give us.”
Scalia is a big loss. It reduces my hope for this country yet another notch.
