thelibertydaily--2020-09-18--Democrat Insanity: Black Mayors and Police Chiefs are Being Accused of White Supremacy

No black official is radical enough for Black Lives Matter .
Daniel Greenfield , a Shillman Journalism Fellow at the Freedom Center , is an investigative journalist and writer focusing on the radical Left and Islamic terrorism .
“ I would have so much more respect for the Bail Fund if they had bailed him out and then let him stay in one of their homes , ” Suffolk County District Attorney Rachael Rollins blasted the Massachusetts Bail Fund ( MBF ) .
A statement from a DA blasting the MBF for freeing a rapist would n't usually be extraordinary @ @ @ @ @ @ @ was backed by George Soros , was supposed to be different .
Not only had Rollins run on a pro-crime platform promising not to prosecute shoplifting , breaking and entering , and resisting arrest , but she had reacted to the Black Lives Matter riots with a hysterical rant about her rage and the white community .
Rollins had dismissed the damage from Black Lives Matter riots because it `` could be fixed '' .
And then the Massachusetts Bail Fund freed Shawn McClinton , a convicted sex offender , who had been @ @ @ @ @ @ @ weeks after he was let go , leading Rollins to snap .
The Massachusetts Bail Fund , whose motto is “ Free them all ” , really meant it .
The problem that Rachael Rollins , the first black DA of Suffolk County , a pro-crime black nationalist activist , ran into is a familiar one for a new generation of leftist politicians , many from an identity politics slate , who learned the hard way that they will always be out-radicaled .
It ’ s no longer enough to just support riots @ @ @ @ @ @ @ support rapists too .
The Black Lives Matter wave destroyed the credibility and leadership of a new wave of identity politics Democrats who had seemed exciting until they were actually tested and failed miserably .
A few years ago , Jenny Durkan was being hailed as the first lesbian mayor of Seattle .
Then she was besieged by a Black Lives Matter mob , and , after hailing CHOP as a new Summer of Love , had no choice but to shut it down .
Carmen Best , Seattle ’ s first black @ @ @ @ @ @ @ after facing police defunding budget cuts that decimated her department .
Chief Danielle Outlaw , formerly Portland 's first black police commissioner , who got away from the city 's perpetual riots to become Philadelphia 's first black female commissioner , discovered that there 's no escaping the violence .
Many of the cities at the center of the violence have tried appointing black police leaders and electing black DAs only to realize that doesn ’ t appease .
“ The fact that I , as a very obvious African American female police @ @ @ @ @ @ @ within that group or those who support that group , as being a supporter and protector of those who are believed to be white supremacists—if that 's even the case—is ridiculous .
Right ?
” Chief Outlaw had wondered back in Portland .
Chief Outlaw may have thought that she would leave that kind of craziness behind when she left Portland , but she was soon being accused of white supremacy in Philly when the police didn ’ t crack down on white business owners protecting their businesses from BLM rioters .
`` @ @ @ @ @ @ @ violence , and as an agency we do n't take sides , '' she argued .
Lori Lightfoot ’ s victory was supposed to calm the radicals in Chicago who had bedeviled Rahm Emanual .
The city , for the first time in its history , had a number of firsts , a black female lesbian leader , who represented everything that the identity politics slate wanted or could possibly want .
But the pandemic and the riots left her hopefully outmatched and outclassed .
Like many other leftist city leaders , Mayor @ @ @ @ @ @ @ from rallying on her block .
Black Lives Matter activists were soon accusing Lightfoot of `` creating problems in black and brown communities to protect white people '' and having `` bloodied people for their disobedience to white supremacy '' , by which they meant taking the minimum possible steps to stop the riots .
And so the black lesbian mayor of Chicago had officially become a white supremacist .
The speed with which the ‘ firsts ’ who break glass ceilings become the enemy is breathtaking .
Los Angeles DA Jackey Lacey @ @ @ @ @ @ @ first woman and first African-American to serve as Los Angeles County District Attorney '' to having her house besieged by Black Lives Matter racists and when her husband waved a gun to get them to leave , he , like the McCloskeys , was charged by the connivance of the Democrat machine .
Rep. Schiff , Mayor Eric Garcetti , and other Democrats quickly pulled their endorsements from Lacey .
The first black female DA was now officially a racist oppressor of black people .
“ A lot of the cases that people @ @ @ @ @ @ @ those cases where the man who was killed had a gun or was shooting someone or harming someone , ” Lacey pointed out .
But , like the right to rape in Suffolk County , harming and shooting someone is a right in LA .
You can be the first black DA of Los Angeles , the first gay mayor of South Bend , the first lesbian mayor of Seattle , the first black female police chief of Portland , Philadelphia , or Seattle , you can even be the first black lesbian @ @ @ @ @ @ @ won ’ t be radical enough .
You can even run on a pro-crime platform backed by George Soros and it ’ s still not enough .
If the problem really were racism , it would be solvable .
But radicalism has no stopping point .
As soon as a mayor , a DA , or police chief seems to fit the bill , they ’ re not radical enough .
Mayors , DAs , and police chiefs who try to actually do their jobs are the first to fall .
Just ask @ @ @ @ @ @ @ of Portland , or Carmen Best , who was forced to resign in Seattle .
Checking the right identity politics boxes doesn ’ t matter if you ’ re not a radical .
But no amount of radicalism is ever enough .
Just ask Rachael Rollins .
History is full of examples of revolutions where the radicals ate each other .
The story of CHOP and of Portland ’ s over 100 days of rioting , the guillotines and people ’ s committees , is the familiar one of the French and Russian @ @ @ @ @ @ @ less radical until there ’ s no one left except either a tyrant or a populace who is tired of the endless violence .
What the revolutionaries want is a society so unlivable that it even horrified a Soros DA .
When they say that they want to free all the criminals , they really mean it .
And when they say that they want to defund the police , they mean that too .
These aren ’ t bold slogans for anything more moderate as their defenders among the Democrats and the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ obvious symptom of a political movement ’ s descent into extremism is its inability to describe the problem .
Extremism has no language for criticising its own extremism except by warning that it ’ s undermining the larger cause .
And that ’ s been the Democrat response .
The riots and the crime , they keep warning , are eating into Biden ’ s lead in some swing states .
That ’ s a compelling argument for those making it and a contemptible one to those it ’ s made to .
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ the Left , and even the radicals are losing control of a movement that is turning on them for not being radical enough .
And no amount of identity politics can stop the crackup of a movement that has lost its mind and its brakes .

Wray explained how this election cycle differs from 2016 .
“ There was also an effort to target election infrastructure , you know cyber @ @ @ @ @ @ @ second part yet this year or this cycle .

Democrats, Including Former CNN Host Reza Aslan Already Threatening Violence: ‘If They Even TRY to Replace RBG We Burn the Entire F***ing Thing Down’

After the news broke that Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg has passed away , social media exploded .
Some of it was good , some of it was neutral , some of it was bad .
Some of it was downright crazy .
Let ’ s start with Sen. Chuck Schumer , who before even offering a memoriam or condolences , immediately dove into political gamesmanship .
Then there is this lovely thought on a woman ’ s passing .
Read it now before the author gets overwhelmed and deletes it .
She is NOT alone in this madness @ @ @ @ @ @ @ really know WHAT this is : See it ’ s like I told ya , some were good , some were bad , some were crazy .
A lot of tweets are simply foreshadowing or predicting what we all know to be true , that it ’ s about to get even crazier here in 2020 .
The prediction that things are about to get ugly is predominant .
Plus expectations for the next nominee .
Think Kavanaugh but more .
There were a lot of nasty “ good riddance ” posts from @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ’ s two beelow , in that order .
There are so many more tweets of every variety and shape , but these really caught my attention as representative .
And if they are any indication , this roller coaster we ’ re on this year is getting even faster and crazier than we thought it would over the next few weeks .
Here are some tweets in memoriam from familiar folks .
Sadly these will probably themselves produce hate replies .
By the way , a large share of the uglier tweets @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ’ s one wishing harm on him , from a blue check that won ’ t be reprimanded by Twitter .

Schumer did not send condolences to RBG and her family or comment on her legacy. He jumped right to filling the seat, in case anyone has any doubt about how this is going to go. — Stephen L. Miller (@redsteeze) September 18, 2020

Plus expectations for the next nominee. Think Kavanaugh but more.
The Dems claimed the dullest nominee in history was secretly a high school drug lord/gang rapist. Wonder what they'll cook up for the new nominee. — jon gabriel (@exjon) September 19, 2020
There were a lot of nasty “good riddance” posts from the right AND the left. Here’s two beelow, in that order.
Good Riddance Ginsburg!🖕🏻 — Constitutional Guard (@Constit07258669) September 19, 2020
Essentially, your premise is that I should prefer a pro-capitalist racist who speaks softly as opposed to loudly. One of Ginsburg's last rulings was to affirm the Trump administration's disgusting anti-refugee policy with DHS v. Thuraigassam. So I say again: Good riddance. https://t.co/012JarW4LH — Bitter Trotskyist (@MEGAMANTROTSKY) September 19, 2020
There are so many more tweets of every variety and shape, but these really caught my attention as representative.
And if they are any indication, this roller coaster we’re on this year is getting even faster and crazier than we thought it would over the next few weeks.
Here are some tweets in memoriam from familiar folks. Sadly these will probably themselves produce hate replies.
The Senate and the nation mourn the passing of Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg and the conclusion of her extraordinary American life. My full statement: pic.twitter.com/NOwYLhDxIk — Leader McConnell (@senatemajldr) September 19, 2020
Justice Ginsburg was so inspirational to me. As a cancer survivor, she showed us that she could beat cancer multiple times – not just once. RIP, you warrior. — Richard Grenell (@RichardGrenell) September 18, 2020
Justice Ginsburg was a remarkable woman with an astonishing work ethic. She was a warrior with true conviction and she has my absolute respect! #RIP — Eric Trump (@EricTrump) September 19, 2020
Justice Ginsburg devoted her entire life to reading, interpreting, and understanding the law. To describe her as a gifted lawyer and jurist who had a profound influence on our country is an understatement. My thoughts and prayers are with her and her family. — Mike Lee (@SenMikeLee) September 18, 2020
By the way, a large share of the uglier tweets are dedicated to attacking McConnell. Here’s one wishing harm on him, from a blue check that won’t be reprimanded by Twitter.
All we can hope for in times like these is that Mitch McConnell has a stroke from laughing too hard — Katie Herzog (@kittypurrzog) September 18, 2020

Report: Ruth Bader Ginsburg Politicized Her Own Death: ‘My Most Fervent Wish is That I Will Not be Replaced Until a New President is Installed’

In the days leading up to her death , the late justice reportedly dictated the following statement to her granddaughter : `` My most fervent wish is that I will not be replaced until a new president is installed . ''
Fervent or not , President Trump and Republican leadership are likely to ignore that wish .
On Aug. 11 , during an interview with conservative commentator Hugh Hewitt , the president confirmed that he would not hesitate to fill a Supreme Court vacancy if one opened in the final months before Election Day .
“ First serious question — @ @ @ @ @ @ @ term , ” said Hewitt , “ for the last five months of your second term if you get one , would you make a nomination to fill a vacancy that occurred on the Supreme Court ?
” Trump pressed for clarification , “ You mean if something happened like now ?
” “ Absolutely , ” the president answered .
“ I ’ d do it .
Sure.
” “ You know , ” reflected the president , “ I don ’ t know what you ’ re talking about , time @ @ @ @ @ @ @ about if something would happen now , no , I would move quickly .
Why not ?
I mean , they would .
The Democrats would if they were in this position.
” Idle musing on the president ’ s part ?
Perhaps .
He does talk a big game .
Then again , let ’ s not forget that the Trump White House this month updated its shortlist of potential Supreme Court nominees to include 20 new candidates , including Republican Sens .
Tom Cotton of Arkansas , Ted Cruz of Texas @ @ @ @ @ @ @ `` Our cherished rights are at risk , including the right to life and our great Second Amendment .
Over the next four years , America 's president will choose hundreds of federal judges and , in all likelihood , one , two , three , and even four Supreme Court justices , '' Trump said during a Sept. 9 press briefing .
He added , `` The outcome of these decisions will determine whether we hold fast to our nation 's founding principles or whether they are lost forever . ''
Cruz @ @ @ @ @ @ @ if nominated .
“ I am grateful for the president ’ s confidence in me and for his leadership in nominating principled constitutionalists to the federal bench over the last four years , '' said the Texas lawmaker .
`` As a member of the Senate Judiciary Committee , I ’ ve been proud to help confirm to the bench over 200 of President Trump ’ s judicial nominees , including two to the Supreme Court .
It 's humbling and an immense honor to be considered for the Supreme Court . ''
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ the nomination , tweeting none-too-subtly after the release of the updated list , “ It 's time for Roe v. Wade to go.
” It seems doubtful that Trump and Republicans will be able to fill the vacancy left by Ginsburg before Election Day .
There will be far too much opposition from both Democratic and Republican lawmakers , far too much politicking , and too little time for the GOP to get someone nominated and approved by the Senate .
But based on the president ’ s remarks to Hewitt , coupled @ @ @ @ @ @ @ of potential Supreme Court nominees , the long odds do not mean the Trump administration won ’ t try .

Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg is dead.

“You know,” reflected the president, “I don’t know what you’re talking about, time, but if you’re talking about if something would happen now, no, I would move quickly. Why not? I mean, they would. The Democrats would if they were in this position.”
Idle musing on the president’s part? Perhaps. He does talk a big game.
Then again, let’s not forget that the Trump White House this month updated its shortlist of potential Supreme Court nominees to include 20 new candidates, including Republican Sens. Tom Cotton of Arkansas, Ted Cruz of Texas, and Josh Hawley of Missouri.
"Our cherished rights are at risk, including the right to life and our great Second Amendment.

thelibertydaily--2020-09-20--Wow: Could These WaPo Headlines About RBG and Scalia Be Any More Biased?

The Washington Post would be hard-pressed to write more biased headlines than they did following the deaths of late Supreme Court Justices Antonin Scalia and Ruth Bader Ginsburg .
But do n't put anything past them .
After all , this is the newspaper that reported the death of ISIS leader Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi , who was killed in a Trump-ordered raid , under the headline , `` Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi , austere religious scholar at helm of Islamic State , dies at 48 . ''
So nothing should surprise us .
When Antonin Scalia passed away in 2016 , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Court conservative dismayed liberals . ''
When Ruth Bader Ginsburg passed away on Friday , WaPo ran the headline , `` A pioneer devoted to equality . ''
WaPo is a lefty rag that should be tossed in the trash bin of history .
Even after Democrats saw the polling on the riots and finally started to denounce the bloodshed , WaPo was still pretending like the violence did n't exist .
Here 's the headline WaPo ran on the riots earlier this month : `` After 100 days of demonstrations , more @ @ @ @ @ @ @ stay . ''
With liberals , politics always comes first .
In a mad dash to frame the media narrative following the death of Ruth Bader Ginsburg , Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer tweeted out a demand for the Supreme Court vacancy to be filled by a `` new president . ''
Only later did Schumer finally get around to acknowledging the fact that Ginsburg had died .
The left 's double standards are clear , and now WaPo and the liberal media are going to rewrite history to tell us that a @ @ @ @ @ @ @ justice when a vacancy opens up during an election year , even though a president has all 29 times that it 's happened in our nation 's history .

thelibertydaily--2020-09-20--Fast Kamala on Ginsburg’s Reported Last Wish: ‘We Will Honor That Wish’

A full-on freak-out began as soon as the announcement of Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg ’ s death was made .
Democrats from the east coast to the west coast hit the publish button way too quickly on social media as they couldn ’ t contain themselves .
Inciting violence and doxing public officials is the order of the day .
2020 will not let up .
Kamala Harris tweeted out her agreement with Joe Biden that a replacement for Ginsburg should not be done until after the presidential election .
That ’ s no surprise .
As Ed so aptly @ @ @ @ @ @ @ should just admit that the Supreme Court nomination process has devolved into a coarse grab for power .
So , let ’ s just be honest and say that this year is different than the last time we went through a SCOTUS nomination in an election year .
Will it change much in the approaching election ?
We don ’ t have that answer yet .
In 2016 , Obama and the Democrats had control of the White House while Republicans controlled the Senate .
So , Mitch McConnell was able to slow @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Merrick Garland up for a vote .
In 2020 , though , Republicans have the White House and the Senate .
There is time for President Trump to make his third appointment to the Supreme Court .
He can and he should act immediately .
He owes that to all the Republican and Independent voters who put judicial appointments , including the Supreme Court , as a priority when casting their vote for him in 2016 .
As you may remember , Trump released his list of whom he would consider for SCOTUS @ @ @ @ @ @ @ who were concerned about his conservative cred .
One thing Republicans have to be grateful for is that Mitch McConnell is running the Senate .
He is a master of process and is experienced in this kind of game .
He pledges that Trump ’ s nominee will get a vote in the Senate .
Those fearful of McConnell ’ s record of success in navigating the process in the Senate responded accordingly .
One leftist was happy to tweet out directions to McConnell ’ s house for protesters .
Fortunately , McConnell @ @ @ @ @ @ @ put forth a list of names , as Trump did in 2016 and again just days ago .
Kamala and Biden are not the deciders here on how to move forward .
Even if Biden wins the election , Trump has time to nominate someone on his list , preferably one already vetted to save time now , and the Senate Judiciary Committee can get to work .
A vote can be taken after the election , in the lame-duck session , if necessary .
Does anyone think the Democrats would do anything @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Schumer , now saying the nomination must wait , has a tweet from the past that acknowledges the ability of the president and the Senate to get the job done .
Ginsburg ’ s granddaughter released a statement with one of her grandmother ’ s last wishes – she didn ’ t want to be replaced until after the new president is in office .
She assumed that Biden will win .
This is a disappointing statement from a Supreme Court justice , but as I wrote in an earlier post , she @ @ @ @ @ @ @ of her life and began to politicize the Supreme Court in her later years .
Democrats celebrate her for that .
Legal minds who know about policy and process say there is time for the job to get done .
Kamala sits on the Senate Judiciary Committee and should recuse herself now .
Not only is she a vice-presidential candidate but the way she conducted herself during the Brett Kavanaugh hearing tells us how she will act now .
It ’ s unacceptable to allow that to happen .
This morning Kamala posted @ @ @ @ @ @ @ importance of the election , including the SCOTUS nomination .
Democrats are inciting violence on social media .
While ironic , some point to the fact that riots will break out if Trump and McConnell go forward .
Have they not seen the news lately and the riots already going on ?
Take , for example , a tweet from a former CNN host : Crazy leftist Cher says Trump is a cancerous growth that must be excised “ at all costs ” .
Barack Obama said her last wish must be respected @ @ @ @ @ @ @ have “ left instructions ” but that doesn ’ t hold water with the other side of the aisle .
You remember how often Obama liked to say , “ Elections have consequences .

A full-on freak-out began as soon as the announcement of Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg’s death was made. Democrats from the east coast to the west coast hit the publish button way too quickly on social media as they couldn’t contain themselves. Inciting violence and doxing public officials is the order of the day. 2020 will not let up.
Kamala Harris tweeted out her agreement with Joe Biden that a replacement for Ginsburg should not be done until after the presidential election. That’s no surprise. As Ed so aptly said in his post today, everyone should just admit that the Supreme Court nomination process has devolved into a coarse grab for power. So, let’s just be honest and say that this year is different than the last time we went through a SCOTUS nomination in an election year. Will it change much in the approaching election? We don’t have that answer yet.
In 2016, Obama and the Democrats had control of the White House while Republicans controlled the Senate. So, Mitch McConnell was able to slow the process and didn’t bring Merrick Garland up for a vote. In 2020, though, Republicans have the White House and the Senate. There is time for President Trump to make his third appointment to the Supreme Court. He can and he should act immediately. He owes that to all the Republican and Independent voters who put judicial appointments, including the Supreme Court, as a priority when casting their vote for him in 2016. As you may remember, Trump released his list of whom he would consider for SCOTUS nominations before the election to soothe voters who were concerned about his conservative cred.
One thing Republicans have to be grateful for is that Mitch McConnell is running the Senate. He is a master of process and is experienced in this kind of game. He pledges that Trump’s nominee will get a vote in the Senate.
McConnell argued on Friday that the Republican-controlled Senate could confirm a Republican president’s nominee without facing charges of hypocrisy. “Since the 1880s, no Senate has confirmed an opposite-party president’s Supreme Court nominee in a presidential election year,” McConnell said. “By contrast, Americans reelected our majority in 2016 and expanded it in 2018 because we pledged to work with President Trump and support his agenda, particularly his outstanding appointments to the federal judiciary. Once again, we will keep our promise. President Trump’s nominee will receive a vote on the floor of the United States Senate.”
The Senate and the nation mourn the passing of Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg and the conclusion of her extraordinary American life. My full statement: pic.twitter.com/NOwYLhDxIk — Leader McConnell (@LeaderMcConnell) September 19, 2020
Those fearful of McConnell’s record of success in navigating the process in the Senate responded accordingly. One leftist was happy to tweet out directions to McConnell’s house for protesters. Fortunately, McConnell was not home.

Biden has not put forth a list of names, as Trump did in 2016 and again just days ago. Kamala and Biden are not the deciders here on how to move forward. Even if Biden wins the election, Trump has time to nominate someone on his list, preferably one already vetted to save time now, and the Senate Judiciary Committee can get to work. A vote can be taken after the election, in the lame-duck session, if necessary. Does anyone think the Democrats would do anything different, given the chance? Chuck Schumer, now saying the nomination must wait, has a tweet from the past that acknowledges the ability of the president and the Senate to get the job done.

Ginsburg’s granddaughter released a statement with one of her grandmother’s last wishes – she didn’t want to be replaced until after the new president is in office. She assumed that Biden will win. This is a disappointing statement from a Supreme Court justice, but as I wrote in an earlier post, she was a political activist until the end of her life and began to politicize the Supreme Court in her later years. Democrats celebrate her for that.
Legal minds who know about policy and process say there is time for the job to get done.
Back in 1993, I was lead staffer for Senator Hatch, senior Republican on Senate Judiciary Committee, for confirmation of RBG. Only 42 days from submission of nomination to floor vote. PLENTY OF TIME. RBG had 14 years of D.C. Circuit opinions and prior ACLU litigation career. — Ed Whelan (@EdWhelanEPPC) September 19, 2020
Kamala sits on the Senate Judiciary Committee and should recuse herself now. Not only is she a vice-presidential candidate but the way she conducted herself during the Brett Kavanaugh hearing tells us how she will act now. It’s unacceptable to allow that to happen.
“Tonight we mourn, we honor, and we pray for Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg and her family. But we also recommit to fight for her legacy,” Harris wrote on Friday night. “In some of her final moments with her family, she shared her fervent wish to ‘not be replaced until a new President is installed.’ We will honor that wish,” Harris said.
This morning Kamala posted a new tweet that speaks to the importance of the election, including the SCOTUS nomination.
Justice Ginsburg was a titan—a relentless defender of justice and a legal mind for the ages. The stakes of this election couldn’t be higher. Millions of Americans are counting on us to win and protect the Supreme Court—for their health, for their families, and for their rights. pic.twitter.com/RjlQ6ZwPET — Kamala Harris (@KamalaHarris) September 19, 2020
Democrats are inciting violence on social media. While ironic, some point to the fact that riots will break out if Trump and McConnell go forward. Have they not seen the news lately and the riots already going on? Take, for example, a tweet from a former CNN host:
If they even TRY to replace RBG we burn the entire fucking thing down. — Dr. Reza Aslan (@rezaaslan) September 19, 2020
Crazy leftist Cher says Trump is a cancerous growth that must be excised “at all costs”.

MUST BE EXCISED AT ALL COSTS — Cher (@cher) September 19, 2020
Barack Obama said her last wish must be respected, as Kamala did. Ginsburg may have “left instructions” but that doesn’t hold water with the other side of the aisle. You remember how often Obama liked to say, “Elections have consequences. I won”, right?
Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg fought to the end, through her cancer, with unwavering faith in our democracy and its ideals. That’s how we remember her. But she also left instructions for how she wanted her legacy to be honored. My statement: https://t.co/Wa6YcT5gDi — Barack Obama (@BarackObama) September 19, 2020

Back in 2016, Hillary Clinton said Republicans calling on Scalia’s seat to remain vacant until after the election were “dishonoring our Constitution”. Now, of course, she feels differently.

President Trump released a nice statement after his initial reaction to her death, which was also well done. Neither time did he touch on the politics of her death. He was speaking at a campaign rally when her death was announced. When he was told by reporters as he left he respectfully said he had not heard about her death. (You hear Elton John’s “Tiny Dancer” in the background. It’s played at the end of all the Trump rallies according to reports.)
WATCH: Trump hears from a reporter that Justice Ginsburg has died. "She just died? Wow. I didn't know that, you're telling me now for the first time." "She led an amazing life. What else can you say? She was an amazing woman…I'm sad to hear that." pic.twitter.com/5Na3vHzP7f — Yahoo News (@YahooNews) September 19, 2020

I’ll end with one observation – Trump respectfully kept politics out of his remarks. Biden had to read his initial remarks to reporters and included politics. Then he left without taking questions because he was tired after “a long plane ride.” Remember that next time Biden’s alleged capacity for empathy is used against Trump.

FLASHBACK: Biden Said Senate Had ‘Constitutional Responsibility’ To Give Merrick Garland A Hearing Before 2016 Election

While not all hypocrites are politicians , all politicians are hypocrites at some point in their careers , but Democrats have turned the trait into an art form .
In fact , we suspect that being a hypocrite is actually a party requirement – one of those unwritten rules no one is supposed to find out about .

Only , the Republican Party led by Majority Leader Mitch McConnell of Kentucky controlled the Senate – and McConnell wasn ’ t having any third Supreme Court nominee of Obama ’ s on a lifetime appointment after the two judicial activists he put on the bench previously ( Justices Kagan and Sotomayor ) .
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ lays out how justices are seated – presidents nominate , the Senate provides advice and consent…or not .
There are no time requirements .
And what ’ s more , there is no mandate that the Senate even has to take up the nomination of a Supreme Court justice .
The Senate can , or it can pass .
And McConnell chose to pass ; he wanted to wait the roughly 10 months until the presidential election .
Why ?
Because , he said he believes that if the Senate and the White @ @ @ @ @ @ @ political parties , as it was in 2016 , the chamber ought to wait .
At the time , then-Vice President Joe Biden called such thinking , and McConnell ’ s hesitation , a “ constitutional crisis ” though now he says the Senate ‘ must wait ’ until after November 3 .
During a speech at Georgetown University , Biden claimed Obama ’ s third nominee , U.S. District Chief Judge Merrick Garland , was imminently qualified and that the then-president did his “ constitutional duty ” when submitting his name to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ all the more perplexing , ” he said .
“ Chief Judge Garland deserves a hearing just as a simple matter of fairness before we talk about the Constitution .
But it ’ s also a matter of the Senate fulfilling its constitutional responsibility ” ( notice how a then more lucid Biden didn ’ t say ‘ constitutional duty ’ – because the Senate has no “ duty ” to provide advice and consent , especially since many previous judicial nominations were never acted upon and allowed to expire ) .
“ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ – and they are my friends – the Republican senators announced that whomever the nominee might be , they intended to abdicate their responsibility completely.
” He said by not acting , the GOP majority will create “ a constitutional crisis.
” That ’ s a silly , even stupid , thing to say .
Again , there is no constitutional requirement that the Senate “ shall take up ” nominations to the high court ; in fact , the language of the Constitution is clear that no nominee ‘ shall be appointed @ @ @ @ @ @ @ and consent – and Biden knows this because he spent about century years in the Senate .
