Just going to drop this here before shutting things down for the night.
I wonder who the chief judge is in the circuit where all of the fights between Congress and Trump will play out and whether he cares about partisan norm-busting. Oh that's right…it's some guy named Merrick Garland.

I didn’t want anyone to miss this tasty morsel.

Dayum. Will motions for his recusal be a serious issue?

Thanks for that little morsel before bedtime. Very satisfying. Might be that this bit of cosmic revenge will be served chilled to perfection.

Cue the screams for recusal in 3…2…1…

Thank you Tamara. It was a very delicious surprise!
I shall especially savor Turtle’s stupid face and his even stupider look when he gets hoisted on this particular petard of his. Wouldn’t that be epic justice?

@danielx: Why should he recuse himself? Democrats shouldn’t ask, and Republicans won’t (can’t) admit his nomination was handled unfairly. And specifically, Trump never had the opportunity to do anything adverse to him, as the nomination expired with the end.of President Obama’s term.

@Repatriated:
And how will any of that be of any importance to the GOP?
They will do as republicans always do, whatever they think they can get away with.

@Ruckus: They can try to IOKIYAR it. Whether they succeed is a separate matter.

“Merrick Garland sends his regards.”
(A particularly topical reference, given the show that just concluded its run on Sunday:)

Nice; but, so what.
