Senators Mitch McConnell and Charles Grassley tell us that the opening of a seat in the supreme court gives the people of this country a chance to “decide who they trust to both lead the country and nominate the next Supreme Court justice" in this election year.
I thought that's what we did in 2012 when we elected President Obama with a majority of the vote, for the second time. By blocking Obama's nominee they obstruct for political purposes and deny the will of the people.
Oh how they would howl if democrats would ever try to do the same. Mitch McConnell's stated goal was to not allow Obama a second term. It was not to govern, or to do the will of the people, or even to compromise - it was to obstruct. At least he's consistent.
