#4 Mike, what is there to not like? It is way pastime to play hardball with the commies. This is an opening salvo.

#7 While I am glad the idiot GOP is finally playing hardball with the left and glad these appointments have been done, I am not thrilled with the method.

The left has been playing lose with the rules for decades and Cocaine Mitch just did the same. The precedent was set for all sorts of procedural funny business years ago and in 10 more years, the demoncrats might just be doing the exact same thing.

The more the rules are bent, ignored or broken, the more the public will lose faith in the system and the easier it is for one person to take power.

#9 I'm sorry that the procedure is, shall we say, lacking in form.

But, when one side of a battle has disgarded all respect for the rule of law and/or tradition unilateral disarmament by the other is nothing more than suicide.

The Demons have to be bludgened into rejoining the USA as rule of law abiding members. I really think that this will turn bloody if that doesn't happen.

Look at what the DemSocs like Jerry Brown, AOC, Bernie Sanders, et al really want to do to us and you will see what I mean.
