The Rats made their case, and the American people rejected it.
The democrats couldn't make their case without admitting they want judges who will ignore the constitution and follow opinion polls. They won't do that because they knew they'd be excoriated by the republicans. They lost because they're afraid to show their true faces.
"The Rats made their case, and the American people rejected it."
The Democrats have had the same result for the last 10 years at the voting booth. REJECTED! next?
"Democrats didn't make their case" is a sneaky way (what else is new for Dems) of putting it in courtroom trial context---as good also as admitting that the Dems were acting as unofficial prosecuting attorneys. The implication is that the Dems failed (who knows?--maybe because they're such nice guys at heart) and because they failed, ALito is "acquitted". and "got away with murder".
