@senatemajldr Mitch McConnell is very clever with words.

@senatemajldr And here is the result of the war that Mitch McConnell has been waging against all of us, through the judiciary branch - 80 Supreme Court cases, all favoring big Republican donor interests, and all narrowly decided along 5-4 party line votes:
