I speak in the title of this post, as one might easily surmise, of the accursed current Senate minority leader and enemy to U.S democracy, Mitch McConnell. Why do I say this now (noting that I have said many deservedly derogatory words about Miserable Mitchy in the past)?
This is why:
Mitch McConnell says he will BLOCK any Biden Supreme Court nomination during the 2024 election year if he becomes Senate majority leaderMitch probably knows that this is not the way the Founding Fathers envisioned the democratic institution of the American government operating.
But he doesn't care.
"Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell said Monday if he has the Senate majority he'll block President Joe Biden's Supreme Court nominees in 2024, the year of the next presidential election.
'I think it's highly unlikely - in fact, no, I don't think either party, if it were different from the president, would confirm a Supreme Court nominee in the middle of an election,' McConnell said on Hugh Hewitt's radio show."
Yet McConnell is clearly stretching the meaning of "in the middle of an election", as he did with Merrick Garland. And he clearly didn't have a problem completing the nomination and voting on a SCOTUS judge while the last election for President was actually underway (early voting had already started).
Ass is a gentle word for what Mitch is.
