“We spent a lot of time rigging the courts,” McConnell whined. “Now you’re messing up our years long carefully orchestrated plans to stack the courts.”

How long ago was it that “judicial activism” was a horror to those on the right? Same for “lawsuits” and “it’s not about the sex it’s about the lying”. They don’t stand for shit.

McConnell is second only to TFG in the responsibility for the damage that has been done to our democracy in the last decade. He’s educated, informed and politically savvy but not crazy. So what’s his excuse?

Roberts indignantly protests too much to be like the umpire calling balls and strikes, when point of fact he’s the WWE pro wrestling referee, looking whichever other way is necessary for the scripted winner to cheat with a folding chair.

The problem is that Roberts was wrong. Either he was lying or clueless. Likely both.

“Didn’t Chief Justice Roberts say ‘there are not Obama judges or Trump judges?’” McConnell huffed from the Senate floor Thursday. “What exactly is the problem that demands such a drastic solution?”

He can’t do anything about the Judicial conference implementing this new guideline, right?

This Motherfucker has created the downward spiral our country has been on and literally “Fuck you, Mitch!”

The authorities quoted in this article, including McConnell, seem to fall back on the assertion that keeping things the way they are (permitting judge-shopping) is right because it allows the “right” judgments to be made by “independent” courts. The people complaining must be liberal activists, like the majority of the country that wants abortion and birth control measures left to the people, not to judges.

Or another way of summarizing McConnell et al.: Many fine judges on both sides.

Important to remember:
To the Extreme Right Wing, their actions are NOT politics - they are GOD’S demands; they are the established “truth”.

They regard all responses to their approach as cynical politics. - and ONLY the responses are political.

Hence, a move to limit politics is obviously “a partisan political move”.
