Not Surprised!

If you are surprised that the Republicans are contradicting themselves and their previous commitment not to name a new Supreme Court justice in a presidential election year you are living in a different universe than this one.  

Of course this is what they will do.  Their word is not a bond; it is worthless.  Hypocrisy rules.

One can only hope that if they are up for reelection in November they will pay the price.  How delicious it would be if the people who vote take revenge on these hypocrites.  If, as is likely, the Republicans will get their way and confirm another conservative, we'll still be saddled with a lopsided court for decades.  But at least some better laws could be passed with the Dems in control of both the House and the Senate.

And the White House?  When I heard that RBG was dead, I thought the only worse news than this would be if Biden didn't win.  Oh, my.  Its going to be a long six weeks.
