Mitch McConnell compares proposed Supreme Court reforms to violent treason

Along the way, he's reminded everyone that while he may be a better human being than Cheeto (to be fair, who isn't?), he's still pretty vile.

And will not be missed when he's no longer in the Senate.

From The Hill -

McConnell compares Biden Supreme Court reforms to Jan. 6

Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) in an interview with Punchbowl News compared President Biden’s proposed Supreme Court reforms to the Jan. 6, 2021, attacks on the U.S. Capitol.

“That’s what some people were trying to do Jan. 6 — to break the system of handing an administration from one to the next,” McConnell said in the interview, referring to the proposed reforms. “We can have our arguments, but we ought to not try to break the rules.”

The reforms that Biden has backed include 18-year term limits, which would allow a president to appoint a new justice every two years, alongside a binding code of conduct. 


FWIW - I'm not a fan of term limits.  We have them here in AZ, and they haven't worked.

One thing I am a fan of?

Having decent human beings in high office, whether that office is an appointed or elected one.
