Unfortunately, what currently passes for republican leadership has shown itself, blatantly, to have no regard for our constitution, democracy or rule of law. From usurping almost a year of a sitting president’s term by refusing to do their duty to advise and consent on Merritt Garland’s nomination to, essentially, only using the power of the Senate to approve partisan judges whose very seats they stonewalled during the last administration. McConnell openly brags about this. Whatever happened to the integrity, restraint, intellectual honesty and decency I used to be able to turn to republican’s for? Is the pursuit of power the be-all-end-all? Republican’s need to clean house, drain their own swamp, if they ever want my vote again. I hope the decent, moderate, rank-and-file will re-emerge and cast these buggers out.
