But having the GOP raise that much hell over an opportunity to take it to the Democrats in terms of diversity and inclusion; not to mention an opportunity to make history by naming another female to...

Sort of a bait and switch like Bush did with Harriet Miers and Sam Alito. I still can’t believe he nominated her. What a hypocrite! First [...]
