What seems clear is that Supreme Court appointments are a crap shoot.
The McConnell-hatred and Ryan-hatred runs strong here. Those consumed with this Hatred are generally ignorant of what the leadership actually does and certainly clueless wrt the procedures of running bodies with a 271 year-old history. And handling 100 and 435 egos well enough to get anything done is no small task.
These positions are not generally sought because of the work involved. One side votes unanimously while our side splits the Republican vote for any number of reasons. This makes the jobs even more difficult.
Thank you. The number of ignorant posters here is rampant.
wow. that was lucid, penetrating, eminently rational, and showed a deep understanding of how the real world actually works.
