Not making it great

A Southern senator, Mitch McConnell, denies a Supreme Court appointment to a Black president offering an excuse. He subsequently offers a Supreme Court appointment to a white president ignoring the original excuse, which is even more applicable.

We have some great documents underpinning the politics of this country. However, this is the way we have operated from the beginning. We must be the laughingstock of every literate nation. Is this type of behavior making this country great again?
