If they were being reasonable and honest they would have held a hearing for him, because he's a candidate they could agree with. They were forced to make a choice to admit playing a cheap game or elect him and give up their possible future of absolute control of the SCOTUS. Sadly making them admit this seemed to not actually sway many peoples opinions, and they only went further if anything. permalink fedilink source parent
