Course he was.  I never had sex with that girl.  Course he did.  I never asked for a quid pro quo from that Ukrainian president.  Actually, yes, right there on the phone transcripts.  We are not partisan hacks.  Okay, then why make a speech introduced by Mitch McConnell at the McConnell Center in Louisville, Kentucky?  Same partisan hack who kept Obama from filling an empty Supreme Court vacancy, that McConnell.  <\/p>\n<p>Somehow, methinks she doth protest too much.  The Supremes, she cites as evidence for convincing us they\u2019re not political hacks, have underlying judicial philosophies.  Ah, bet you forgot that, didn\u2019t you?  They\u2019re not ruling about abortion from some religious, partisan bias, they\u2019re working under Originalism.  Can\u2019t find it in the Constitution, can\u2019t okay it in 2021.

Maybe you didn\u2019t read the part in the Constitution that mentions a sitting President making nominations for your job.  Before your time, I know.  <\/p>\n<p>So I guess we\u2019re in good hands with you and Clarence and the rest of the gang, no hidden biases there, just thorough and impartial reading of a few centuries old document, interpreted by \u2026  Wait, not interpreted, really, just scrutinized factually.
