by NoahKarma? Irony? Both? If Trump henchman Mitch McConnell had permitted the nomination of Merrick Garland to go forward when President Obama nominated him, Garland would probably be on the Supreme Court and his space on the D.C. Court of Appeals would have been most likely filled with a pro-Trump far right conservative. So, the fact that Merrick Garland might be hearing Herr Trump's appeal of the House Oversight and Reform Committee's subpoena of his financial records can be seen as McConnell's fault, or, at least a case of be careful what you wish for and a demonstration of the law of unintended consequences.What happens if it is Garland who hears the case and ends up ruling against Trump? Maybe we'll even know by the time you read this. Will a tidal wave of bitterly insane anti-McConnell 4:00am tweets issue forth from the White House golden toilet as Trump pokes his stubby little orange fingers at his phone in a rage? I hope so! I hope he loses it enough to do that, but, there's a lot of ways this could go and, meanwhile, we should expect lots of bitching and whining from the Repug Party "luminaries" before, during, and, if things go correctly, certainly after.
