I'm sure Leslie Marshall had this screed in the can for several days, ready to release as soon as the ACB vote was final. As much as of a debacle as the Dems turned this into, I agree with the point recently brought up by Tammy Bruce (& probably others) that the person mainly responsible for ACB is Ruth Bader Ginsburg. There was a 6-year period where Obama had a Democrat-controlled Senate, & Ginsburg was already having health problems at this time. She knew her years were numbered. If she'd done the noble thing & retired then, an Obama-appointed replacement...
