You might have missed it, but Sen. Mitch McConnell wrote an op-ed Tuesday asking, “Will Democrats work with us, or simply put partisan politics ahead of the country.”
My latest Op-Ed: Will Dems work with us, or simply put partisan politics ahead of the country? https://t.co/X4IwYUedTE

The answer is B, put partisan politics first. But it’s not just his party that has Democrats steamed with McConnell — they’re still furious with him for not allowing Judge Merrick Garland his proper place on the Supreme Court seat stolen by Neil Gorsuch.
Check out ThinkProgress’ justice editor, Ian Millhiser:
no wonder the nomination never moved forward — we can't have a supreme court justice with a middle name like that! https://t.co/kdGzxgGAfP

Aww

Poor Merrick…I knew him well.

May God rest his soul, I know Merrick's in a better place now.

He’s looking down on us and urging us to find a way to work together. #DoItForMerrick ❤️

Some people deal with losing a loved one differently than others. What Ian needs to know is he has our thoughts and prayers in his time of grief and need. https://t.co/VaAAflBCl1

So sorry for your loss, Ian.

Merrick, if he were with us today, would want Democrats to work in bi-partisan fashion with the Republicans.
— Robert Henriques (@RHenriquesUSA) November 13, 2018
He was sweet. He was kind. A good man. He will be missed. Only hope Special K can carry the fire in his stead

If he were still with us today, he'd want us all to come together and reach across the aisle to confirm more judges.

Amen.
