[EL] J. Gorsuch Will Be Awful on #SCOTUS for Progressives. Democrats Should Not Filibuster Him

[Gabriel Gopen]

Mitch McConnell declared that he wouldn't consider the president's nominee before Garland was nominated.  He refused to allow the Senate advise or consent.  

To me, this is the alpha and the omega of the thing.  No one knew who would be nominated.  But everyone knew he or she wouldn't be considered.    

McConnell announced his decision so soon after Scalia's death that it reminded me of Hamlet complaining how soon his mother married his uncle after his father's death.  

Thrift, thrift, Horatio! The funeral baked meats
Did coldly furnish forth the marriage tables.

Act 1 scene 2
