I hear you. I know lots of people here have criticisms of McConnell and most other Republicans, for one reason or another. We should be fair and balanced, and give credit where due. McConnell resisted intense pressures to keep Merrick Garland off the Supreme Court, and we should be fair and balanced enough to credit him for such actions.
Don’t expect any fair and balanced replies from the trolls who have hijacked Free Republic.
No, he did that for leverage. Problem is, none of what Mitch is about is for us. These decisions require no kudos to Mitch who jubilantly backstabbed us just yesterday on gun control with red flag laws that will destroy this win.
Never suck up to a man like that.
“McConnell resisted intense pressures to keep Merrick Garland off the Supreme Court, “
He actually resisted intense pressure to get Garland ON the Supreme Court. But the three we got instead are problems for conservatism, especially Barrett and Kavanaugh. Garland might have had less power on SCOTUS with others to balance votes than he has now. He has too much power as AG.
Well, seeing how Garland has screwed up the DOJ almost beyond repair, I would assume that to be true..
