I understand the Senate Republicans refused to allow President Obama a Supreme Court nominee. Now they are going to try to rush through a Trump nominee. I suppose they will be paid back for that.

Elections have consequences.

Here’s What Democrats Said About Filling A Supreme Court Vacancy In 2016. “Elections have consequences,” then-Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton said, according to Politico. “The president has a responsibility to nominate a new justice and the Senate has a responsibility to vote.”

2016: VP Joe Biden slammed Senate Republicans for citing the "Biden Rule" as reasoning for why they won't hold a hearing for Merrick Garland, Obama's Supreme Court pick. Biden said the so-called rule that supposedly prevents Supreme Court nominations in an election year "doesn't exist."

So what you are saying is the there will be a payback for whatever the Republicans do? I find that very wise & insightful.

Payback for the Democrats own ideas?

Regarding fellow Americans as the enemy is the way we lose our republic.
