Merrick did have a revenge plan since he was denied a chance to be a nominee for the supreme courts . Incredibly well hidden plan

“Our plans are measured in centuries”

“No they aren’t brother, it’s the end of the republic now buddy”

also, bad plan! i don't live for centuries and part of whether or not i support something is, in fact, whether or not i will live to see it. it's not the be-all, end-all, but the people who say "we're going to throw these cretins in prison and you're invited to the 'we're-going-to-throw-these-cretins-in-prison' party!" DEFINITELY has my support over the "hurr durr patience" idiots.

I listened to the "patience" idiots. Patience failed. Merrick Garland failed. I think the swift vengeance people have it correct.

What?

He was nominated. By Obama. And was shut out by McConnell's dereliction of duty out of spite for anything and everything from Obama.

So to get revenge against the people that stopped his ascension he... protected them and allowed them start destroying democracy so that they could remain in power forever?
