We have one chance and only one chance to get an originalist on the court before the election. We all know that this is a red herring, but the RATs will seize upon it and turn hearings into a circus.
We are far better off to pick anyone else and start preparing the battlespace for Barrett during DJTs second term.
Sometimes life isn't fair, but we need to win this one.
If the RATs can prevent a confirmation it will be a blow to his re-election chances and quite possibly an opportunity wasted. Not a good thing.
Sure, be just like Republicans always are—crouch down with our tails between our legs, and lick the hand that beats us.
Uh, no thanks...
“We all know that this is a red herring, but the RATs will seize upon it and turn hearings into a circus.”
And what is to prevent them from jumping onto another red herring for another nominee?
Tell me that the LEFT is not going to body slam whoever he nominates.
