"Editors of the conservative RedState blog are warning that since Donald Trump is now the GOPs presumptive nominee for president, Senate Republicans should move to confirm Supreme Court nominee Merrick Garland before it is too late.
Redstate Managing Editor Leon H. Wolf, who has said that he will never vote for Trump, wrote in a May 4 post that Garland is not a great choice, but is not a terrible one, either. He continued that Senate Republicans should thus confirm Garland rather than allowing Hillary Clinton to name her own nominee after what he depicted as Trumps almost certain defeat in November. Fellow editors Ben Howe and Dan McLaughlin have also expressed support for the position."

(25,111 posts)My understanding of a DEMOCRACY includes all. RWers just want Rwer beliefs. LWers just want LWer beliefs. Both want purity. No such thing as compromise.
The lack of respect has left the building.
