RBD would have had to retire before the 2014 elections. For 2 years after that, McConnell refused to have any confirmation hearings. He kept the seat that would have been Merrick Garland’s, and over 150 other federal benches, empty. Who could have foreseen that he would be such an @$$? The only alternative in the end was to survive past Jan 15. She tried valiantly, but didn’t make it.
Then why is it always the MAGAts who freely send death threats to anyone who dares differ from them? eg, an email to a judge saying “if tRump isn’t elected, we’ll kill you”.
