The President makes his choice for Supreme Court, but she doesn't deserve either the haterizing or exploitation

President Donald Trump kept his word Saturday, and nominated Amy Coney Barrett, a district court judge, as a successor to the late Ruth Bader Ginsburg. Upon Mrs. Barrett's confirmation, which the GOP wants to rush before the election, the GOP will have a 6-3 advantage on the Supreme Court.

That, in effect, is really enough. No, really, it is.

But try telling that to a Senate fundraising committee that is thumbing its nose at Ginsburg, nicknamed, "The Notorious RBG" as a play on the late rapper, The Notorious B. I. G. (Christopher Wallace, aka Biggie Smalls), by having some merch already prepared.

Like, seriously?

These shirts were ready to hit the market before Trump made his announcement. That's how sure they were. Naturally, the critics had a collective cow, accusing the Republicans of exploiting Ginsburg's passing to make a few bucks. At the same time, these idiots are also disrespecting the incoming justice.

Mrs. Barrett has 7 children, two of whom were adopted from Haiti, is a practicing Catholic, just like Democratic candidate Joe Biden, and is also involved with a Christian organization. Solid citizen, you know. She doesn't deserve to be exploited like this.

Nor does she deserve to have someone like Grammy winning songwriter Diane Warren coming up with an analogy just as idiotic as the shirt. Warren suggested via Twitter that Mrs. Barrett was a mash-up of a character from Margaret Atwood's The Handmaid's Tale and one of the Stepford Wives.

Speaking of morons, that brings us to Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, who is the brains behind the bull rush to confirm Mrs. Barrett for no other reason than to tarnish the legacy of Ginsburg. It is McConnell, more than Trump, who should take the heat. You know the Democrats will use the best weapon available to them, filibustering, to delay the confirmation as long as they can, perhaps well past election day, to turn the heat on Trump & McConnell. Coincidentally, four years ago, with much more lead time to election day than there is now, then-President Obama had nominated Merrick Garland for the supreme court, but guess who torpedoed that? Yep, McConnell, the real-life Pruneface for you Dick Tracy fans. Hypocrisy, anyone?

We wish Mrs. Barrett a long and productive career. She just doesn't need the unnecessary drama.
