Stewart: Dems Complain About the Norms Over and Over and Over and It Has Ghastly Consequences

EXCERPT:

STEWART: “Republicans exploit the loopholes. Democrats complain about the norms, over and over and over. And it has ghastly consequences. Remember when President Obama nominated Merrick Garland to the Supreme Court? Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell refused to give that a vote, saying it’s only one full year before the election. It’s too close! Now, you could make a case that Obama could violate the norm, say the Senate failed their advice and consent, and appoint him anyway, and see whatever the [bleep] happens. Fight! But they just went, 'Well, we’ve never heard of that rule, but okay!' Smash cut: two months before a presidential election, Trump nominates Amy Coney Barrett to the Supreme Court after the completely unforeseeable death of Ruth Bader-Ginsburg.

(Laughter)

And as you can imagine, the Democrats went right to the nearby Kinko’s!"
