💬"The history is exactly what I told you."—Mitch McConnell

🤥🐢An hour after Judge Antony Scalia died: "The American people should have a voice in the selection of their next Supreme Court Justice. Therefore, this vacancy should not be filled until we have a new president."

🤥🐢"We simply followed the tradition in America, which is if you have a party of a different—a different Senate of a different party than the president, you don't fill a vacancy created in the presidential year. That went all the way back to 1888."

🤥🐢Will McConnell fill a SCOTUS vacancy in Trump's last year? "The answer to your question is, we'll see if there's a vacancy in 2020."

💬No answer.

▶️Mitch, you didn't attack Merrick Garland because you couldn't.
▶️You never mentioned "opposing party" caveat in 2016

▶️Mitch, CLEARLY the "American people" did not confirm Brett Kavanaugh.
▶️Stop citing the "Biden rule." Joe Biden may have said he'd block GOP nominees, but it was never implemented.
▶️Mitch, you simply didn't do the job you were elected to do.
▶️#Kentucky, get ready for 2020

👨‍⚖️👩‍⚖️We need IMPARTIAL judges EVERYWHERE, not just on SCOTUS—or as impartial as possible—who are not swayed by partisan politics.

👨‍⚖️👩‍⚖️We also need judges on SCOTUS who can follow "The Code of Conduct for U.S. Judges."

▶️That's a start.

⁉️Coincidence?

🎯We had that with Merrick Garland.
