STEWART: DEMS COMPLAIN ABOUT THE NORMS OVER AND OVER AND OVER AND IT HAS GHASTLY CONSEQUENCES

EWART: “Yeah, you can do it and it is legal, but... Whatever, guy. We are going to think you are a dick. 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 what 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. And as you can imagine, the Democrats went right to the nearby Kinko's!”
