Can we PLEASE quit referring to Mitch as a "strict Constitutionalist" ??

That jackass would not know the Constitution if it bit him on the ass.

Mitch has always been and will always be nothing but an opportunist. He's for sale to the highest bidder. That's all he is. He gives no fucks for you, me, the US of A generally or gawd ferbid the US Constitution. Hell, wiggle a Holy Bible under his nose and he would still give no fucks unless it was stuffed with $100 bills.

The man does not give a single solitary fuck about whether or not Scalia's seat is filled or not, or when. Political posturing brings in a money flow. That is all.

Sorry for the rant but it's driving me batty.
