We have a sham democracy because of the gutless, leaderless Democrats and the spineless Republicans.
The Democrats should never have appeared at the hearings on the nomination of Brett Kavanaugh to the U.S. Supreme Court. The Republicans disregarded the Democrats’ request to review 100,000 files and instead received 40,000 files just a few hours before the scheduled hearing.
The Democrats should have demanded ample time to review all 100,000 files before the hearing. If denied, they should have gone to the streets and let the public know of this injustice.
Why the rush? Why not wait until the midterm elections are over? The Republicans did not even bother to have a hearing on President Barack Obama’s nominee. That’s why the Democrats are gutless and lack leadership. They should have gone to the streets to protest the lack of a hearing and let the public decide the fate.
The Republicans are spineless because they support a president who is an unindicted co-conspirator and a habitual liar, and they know it.
