(82,849 posts)I always like it when the shameless Republicans quote or invoke Dr. King as if he was a raging Republican, but everyone has gotten it wrong over the years.
Ever notice how liberals and progressives don't feel the need to appropriate conservative heroes, except for the occasional quote from a time long gone when some conservatives still believed in a common good.

(82,849 posts)You mean, like holding a Supreme Court seat open for a year or more because of some made-up nonsense about a President not getting to appoint a Justice in the last year of his term? Or ram-rodding another Supreme Court nomination through in a matter of days during the last year of a president's term? Is he talking about that kind of change to Senate procedure?
Because if it's about anything else, he should be gaveled down by the president pro tem as out of order.
