An awful lot of “millenial” and “hipster” slang is just black slang that just crossed over to the broader culture thanks to social media. And older journalists just happened to notice this week.
Unlikely. Democrats have traditionally appointed non-partisan, independant judges with respectable, usually main stream academic and legal histories. Even when appointing decided leftists. There have been repeated historic and legal academic studies demonstrating that.
And I don’t recall any of them facing multiple credible accusations of sexual assault.
They may have acted like a pick was just as odeous. But that’s been the GOP’s default reaction to Obama. Every action is radical left wing over reach. You can tell it’s disengenous because none of those same concerns are aired over Trump’s actual over reach and misdeeds.
But more telling is their reaction to Garland. Obama appointed him. And the complaint wasn’t how dangerous and wrong and unacceptablr he was. It was a fiction about voters having a voice. And just how close (100 days, 100 fucking days is not close) the election was. They pulled completely unprecidented procedural nonsense to avoid even discussing the guy. Their complaints were not about his suitability for the job, or legal positions, or his history. Their claimed opposition was all about timing and process (a process they altered, something they’ve also done here).
That’s a bullshit arguement. Obama made 3 appointments. 2 passed without controversy with bipartisan support. The 3rd was prevented from even getting hearings. Because he would have passed without controversy with bipartisan support.
