An open letter to the Republican members of the United States Senate:
Dear honorable senators,
You’re all idiots.
Do you honestly believe President Hillary Clinton is going to nominate someone more conservative than Merrick Garland? Oh, some of you think Ted Cruz will be the next president and will make the nomination … or Donald Trump. Do you really want to see what sort of poo-flinging monkeys Donald Trump will nominate?
Ted Cruz is not going to be president. He’s not going to win your nomination — and if he did, he would need the votes of women and minorities. And trust me: Nobody of color is going to vote for Ted Cruz. You managed to find a Hispanic that Hispanic people don’t like, but to be fair, most people don’t like Ted. And unless there’s a large Oompa Loompa demographic out there, I don’t see Donald Trump winning the election.
So you’re stuck with President Hillary Clinton. If you don’t approve Garland to the Court, you’ll be facing a nomination from Clinton. You might want to go with the straight white guy while you can.
I know you’re sticking with this argument that the people need to decide. They did. They decided in 2008 and again in 2012. By the way, every poll says you need to have a vote on confirmation. You also say you want a strict Constitutionalist on the Court, which is ironic since you’re ignoring the Constitution in regards to this nominee. Can you show me where it’s written in the Constitution that the president doesn’t nominate Supreme Court justices in his last year in office? How about the part of the document that says you can avoid doing your job? I can show you where presidential terms are four years, not three.
It’s really hard to buy that your fight isn’t just partisan horse dookey. You have stated that your job is to make Obama a one-term president (which you failed), you shut down the government over trifle issues, you’ve attempted to defund Obamacare over 50 times while never passing a jobs bill, and you’ve literally passed more snowballs in the Senate than any bills that are constructive.
The really big part of this issue that certifies your idiocracy is that you’re not just facing the prospect of another Democratic administration. You’re facing the very real possibility that this entire stupid, partisan ordeal will cost you the Senate. I’m sure the Democrat-controlled Senate will love Hillary’s Sister Souljah.
Happy legislating.
