This morning, Dan made the point that Mitch McConnell seems to be hanging the GOP's hopes of stopping an Obama SCOTUS appointment on a weird procedural argument. "The American people" he claims, "should have a say." As Dan correctly argues, they already did. First they selected Obama, and then they selected a Republican Senate to stop him.
Obama gets to make his Supreme Court selection - a person who will, undoubtedly, share his disdain for the Constitution and the individual liberties it protects. The Senate has the responsibility of rejecting that person. They shouldn't be blocking the nominee in support of an imaginary procedural imperative. They should be denying him access to the court because they know full well what any Obama appointee will do once he picks up the gavel.
