[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]"On March 16, 2016, President Barack Obama nominated Merrick Garland for Associate Justice of the Supreme Court of the United States to succeed Antonin Scalia, who had died one month earlier. Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell declared any appointment by the sitting president to be null and void. He said the next Supreme Court justice should be chosen by the next president—to be elected later that year. The 11 members of the Senate Judiciary Committee's Republican majority refused to conduct the hearings necessary to advance the vote to the Senate at large, and Garland's nomination expired on January 3, 2017, with the end of the 114th Congress, 293 days after it had been submitted to the Senate. This marked the first time since the Civil War that a nominee whose nomination had not been withdrawn had failed to receive consideration for an open seat on the Court."

This needs to be the lead paragraph of EVERY media report about this sham of a hearing for Mrs. Barrett.[/quote]

Yes. But McConnell is pretty open about being proud of having stolen a court seat from Obama, that he did it for purely political reasons, and he certainly doesn't care about being hypocritical, nor do Trump supporters.[/quote]
