Good speech. This week may convince some people that as Republicans in Congress went to unprecedented lengths to grant Trump as much power to achieve his aims as possible, Jeff Flake, John McCain, and Bob Corker simply would not go along with it. I suspect it won’t convince Merrick Garland, though.
convince Merrick Garland of what?
Convince him Jeff Flake, John McCain, and Bob Corker didn’t go to unprecendented lengths to grant Trump as much power to achieve his aims as possible. Considering they went to extraordinary lengths to throw him an extra Supreme Court nomination, in addition to the ones he’d normally get by being President. You know, John “we can get by just fine with eight justices for the rest of the Obama presidency and the entire hypothetical Clinton presidency but jeeze now that Trump’s nominating let’s hurry this process right up” McCain and his opposing-Trump-with-the-awesome-power-of-press-releases pals.
