Charles P. Pierce: We Are Dealing with Toxic Levels of Smarm - Enough with Neil Gorsuch.

[kpete]

I have a modest proposal for the members of the Republican majority in the United States Senate. I offer it in all Christian love and charity: Shut up about Neil Gorsuch.


..............


Neil Gorsuch was granted the courtesy and respect of private meetings with the senators who would pass on his nomination, including the Democratic ones. Merrick Garland was not.

Neil Gorsuch was granted the courtesy and respect of a hearing before the Senate Judiciary Committee. Merrick Garland was not.

Neil Gorsuch will be granted the courtesy and respect of having his name placed in nomination before the full Senate. Merrick Garland never will.

C'mon, boys and girls. You know what you did and you know why you did it and you know that the strategy is only one small step from having worked magnificently. Take quiet pride in that and do what you have to, if you have the stomach for it. But please, for the love of god, stop talking about Neil Gorsuch.
