John McCain Says GOP Will Block Any Clinton SCOTUS Nominee

I see that John McCain has confirmed fears that I voiced way back when Republicans decided they would not even give Merrick Garland a hearing and that is that the GOP will do the same to any Supreme Court nominee Hillary Clinton would make. Said McCain, “I promise you that we will be united against any Supreme Court nominee that Hillary Clinton, if she were president, would put up. I promise you. This is where we need the majority.” He later walked back that remark but it certainly reflects the feelings of many within his party.

Republicans have stopped being a national party and are now essentially a party that is actively supporting revolution. Their nominee claims the electoral system is “rigged” and calls for extra-judicial jailings of political opponents, their leaders are actively ignoring court orders regarding voting rights, and, in all levels of government, they refuse to refuse to fulfill their elected roles under the constitution. In any other democracy in any other country, the GOP would be considered an “outlaw” party. But somehow the media still treats the party as a respectable alternative for Americans.
