Whatever.

We were robbed during the Trump years. They were able to stall out Garland for the last year of Obama's Presidency using a made up "rule" that we shouldn't fill a seat during an Election year, then Trump won and got to fill Scalia's vacancy with Gorsuch right off the bat, somebody somehow engineered a Kennedy resignation in the middle of Trump's term, and we got Kavanaugh on the Court (which has a whole host of issues in and of itself), and the final insult was RGB dying right before Election 2020 and Republicans rushing to fill her seat with Barrett in complete reversal of their earlier "rule" about filling a seat during an Election year-right before Trump lost the election no less.

And I'm mad all over again.
