In her New York Times iPad, the columnist, Michelle Goldberg, accused Republicans of bad faith.

She mocked Republicans for being shocked at Democrat plans to play constitutional hardball

by packing the Supreme Court. She says constitutional hardball is how Republicans play,

so they have no right to complain. Now, in her mind, Democrats are victims.

President Obama's lower court nominees in Merrick Garland, they were blocked. She says

Democrats are champions of equality while Republicans are a bunch of racists who have

opposed pro civil rights judges since reconstruction. Let's talk about equality.

The Republican Party was born to counter Democrats. They were the party slave owners,

the KKK. If it weren't for Republicans, the civil rights legislation of the 60s would not have

passed. Democrats were blocking it. Now, let's talk about hardball history. Judge Bork,

he was smeared. He was borced by Ted Kennedy. Justice Thomas smeared by Joe Biden's Judiciary

Committee. Justice Alito smeared. Justice Kavanaugh was subjected to the most despicable smear

campaign judicial history. Now, Republicans have never played that kind of hardball, not with

justice, so to my or justice, Kagan, or even their liberal icon Ruth Busy Ginsburg, no matter

how far left their nominees are. And no, we're not shocked when Democrats play hardball and descend

into the sewer. That's where you have to go to meet them. We expect it.
