Hillary Clinton on Thursday expressed support for ending the filibuster, contending that the Republican Party “does not respect the rule of law.”

“Keeping the filibuster now, when you're dealing with a political party that does not respect the rule of law, does not even respect the process unless it works for them, you know, witness what they did to Merrick Garland when President Obama had every right to appoint a Supreme Court justice,” Clinton said.

Based on the last decade or so, my conclusion is that ‘racism,’ ‘White Supremacy,’ ‘White Nationalism,’ etc., mean Western Civilization, which, to my mind, is a Truly Great Thing.
OMG, the irony...
