Gardner’s knee jerk

After the announcement of Brett Kavanaugh for the vacant Supreme Court seat, Sen. Cory Gardner stated that “I hope my colleagues on both sides of the aisle will thoughtfully and thoroughly review ... rather than making a knee-jerk decision based on politics and nothing else.” Here is his statement about Obama’s selection of Merrick Garland who was denied a hearing: “The Obama administration continues to use the judicial and regulatory systems to push through its legislative agenda, shifting the balance of power the founders established.”

We are not braindead yet. Enough with the hypocrisy! There are no checks or balances in our government. There are just the Republicans who are in total control and I fear are remaking our democratic republic into a theocratic oligarchy.
