There is no rational case to be made that with such views as the Cato Institute's Ilya Shapiro's being mouthed by senior Republican senators, that a Republican majority Senate could block, not only Barack Obama's nomination to the Supreme Court but, literally, every Democratic nominee, even if it meant the Supreme Court became extinct, that the Republican mainstream in the United States is not a fully fledged fascist party.
We don't have to ask if it could happen here because it might very well happen here, if not by Donald Trump winning the presidency then by Republicans retaining control of the Senate.
It is one of the most annoying things to hear media liberals talk about the Republican Party 2016 in terms of decency, the fact is anyone who was decent left that abomination long ago, a few stragglers leaving it now, perhaps, excepted. With the practice and now the advocacy for the position that they can kill the Supreme Court unless Republicans are making nominations to it, they have ripped up their oath to protect and defend the Constitution in favor of installing a de-facto one-Republicanfascist-party state.
“I do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic; that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the same; that I take this obligation freely, without any mental reservation or purpose of evasion; and that I will well and faithfully discharge the duties of the office on which I am about to enter: So help me God.”
The leadership of the Republican Party has already made themselves the domestic enemies of Constitutional government. Where's the friggin' free press on that clear and present and active danger to our country? Our media are worse than useless, they are collaborators.
