As Mitch McConnell takes a victory lap, the Twitterverse is reminding itself that today's hideous Supreme Court decision on the Muslim ban (and all the other awful decisions we've been hit with this month) wouldn't be happening without Neil Gorsuch on the court.
We still don't understand why President Obama didn't go nuclear on the Merrick Garland nomination. But since he's a Constitutional law professor, maybe someday he'll explain that. One thing you can say about us Democrats: We believe in government and in following the rules, which means the Republicans will get us on that every time.
Meanwhile, the graphic above is a little reminder of how absurd this whole thing is. Add the fact that none of the countries listed under the ban are places Donald Trump does business in, and you find yourself rooting mighty hard for the state attorneys general who are suing him for violating the Emoluments Clause.
As for the other awful decision handed down today, here's a question. If SCOTUS says that "crisis pregnancy centers" don't have to inform women of their abortion options, does that mean we can stand outside and scream the information at them? With civility, of course. We cats HISS.
