13. "This sort of partisan behavior undermines the integrity of the judiciary."

Tue Dec 3, 2024, 04:22 PM

Dec 3

McConnell stalled Garland's nomination for 10 months to wait for a Republican administration to nominate and emplace a right wing Supreme Court justice. His rationale - too close to an election; let the people decide.

Then, Trump nominated Amy Coney Barrett only 2 weeks before the 2020 election. The "too close to an election; let the people decide" principle mysteriously evaporated and McConnell fast-tracked Coney Barrett through in record time to beat out a potential Democratic president and Senate.

And, he's got the gall to to cite "partisan behavior [that] undermines the integrity of the judiciary". That the American public can't see this behavior and write-off Republicans as unserious and corrupt truly blows my mind.
