When it comes to politics, maybe Bryan Cranston’s best course would be to tread lightly:
Re: Supreme Court Judge. Sen McConnell: "@POTUS believes 11 months is almost 1 year. I believe it is almost 0 years." Oh, Mitch. It's time

My last tweet was satirical. But Senator McConnell, citizens DO have a voice in selecting Justices. It's called a presidential election.

That’s all well and good, but see, we also have these things called senatorial elections. And senators are kind of in charge of approving the president’s SCOTUS nominations.

Saul may be shady, but even he could tell you that the Senate has to sign off on the president’s pick.

@BryanCranston what about senate elections, do they count too?

So… Senate elections don't count? https://t.co/EkHfbZiGyA

@BryanCranston what about the more recent 2014 mid-terms? Don't they count.?

@BryanCranston Retake civics Bryan. There's this thing call Congress, within which is the Senate whose members are also elected.

Yes…because voters don't choose Senators.

@BryanCranston Citizens also have a voice in selecting Senators. Obama can nominate a justice, Senate can reject.

@BryanCranston sorry Bryan, people elect Senators too. #SeparationofPowers

@BryanCranston There's also the other half of that equation–the consenting part–which is the Senate. Election in 2014, remember that?

Cranston may be wrong here, but “Breaking Bad” was so awesome, we can forgive him.
