Republicans, Hypocricitally Breaking their Own Rules

 WHEN REPUBLICANS denied president Obama the nomination of Merrick Garland to the Supreme Court, Obama had about one year left in office, making the argument that his limited time left disqualified him from the nomination totally false and contrived. Now the same Republicans insist that it is proper and indeed imperative for Trump to nominate a justice, and the election has already begun. Only their determination to make the high courts and the entire judicial system into an extreme right wing institution motivates them, and their states reasons, which sound less political, are false, dishonest, and devoid of logic. they would have more integrity by merely admitting that their motives are purely political, but they haven't.'.  Obviously, the election should be completed first, and the winning candidate make the nomination. Any judge whose personal political ideology is widely know to be either left or right should automatically be disqualified. Only moderates, or people whose politics are unknown or indiscernible should be given consideration for the Supreme court. The true motive of the conservative movement in trying to pack the court is to eliminate women's abortion rights, establish a theocracy in America, and to eliminate Obamacare. Even a unanimously conservative court might disappoint; often conservative justices render liberal rulings. Gay marriage is an example of this.If the court ever tries ot overrule Roe versus Wade, or to invalidate Obamacare, grab your popcorn popper and settle in; the America public will rise up and put on quite a show. A majority of Americans support abortion rights and Obamacare, strongly. to quote Casey Stengel; you could look it up.. A country full of fetuses in dumpsters, women's bodies bleeding in back alleys, and millions of sick people unable to afford medical attention does not appeal even to the most devoted right winger. A favorable unintended consequence of these nightmares would be the voting of conservatives out of office. Every day teh perfidious, nefarious designs of the conservative Republican agenda are more fully exposed, in al its hatred and inhumanity. Reasonable, honorable people want to honor justice Ginsburg's desire that her replacement be named by the next president. Often, reason loses out, but, as Goethe said, one does not always lose if one has to do without. It may be that if Trump and his gangster minions force a right wing justice upon us, the result will be the societal discrediting of modern conservatism, already in decline. That would be a good thing, and, in that sense, Ruth Bader Ginsburg would not have passed away too soon.
