RUSH: In her New York Times op-ed, the columnist Michelle Goldberg accused Republicans of “bad faith.” She mocked Republicans for being shocked at Democrat plans to “play constitutional hardball” by packing the Supreme Court. She says constitutional hardball is how Republicans play, so they have no right to complain.<\/p>\n
Now, in her mind, Democrats are victims. President Obama\u2019s lower court nominees, and Merrick Garland, were blocked. She says Democrats are champions of equality, while Republicans are racists who have opposed pro-civil-rights judges since Reconstruction.<\/p>\n
I mean, it\u2019s ridiculous drivel.<\/p>\n

Let\u2019s talk about equality. The Republican Party was born to counter Democrats. They were the party of slave owners and the KKK. If it weren\u2019t for Republicans, the civil rights legislation of the \u201960s would not have passed. Democrats were blocking it, including segregationist Democrats Joe Biden buddied around with.<\/p>\n
Now, let\u2019s talk about “hardball” history. Judge Bork. He was smeared — he was Borked — by Ted Kennedy. Justice Thomas was smeared by Joe Biden\u2019s judiciary committee. Justice Alito, smeared. Justice Kavanaugh was subjected to the most despicable smear campaign in judicial history.<\/p>\n
Now, Republicans have never played that kind of hardball. Not with Justice Sotomayor, Kagan, or even their liberal icon Ruth “Buzzi” Ginsburg. No matter how far left their nominees are.<\/p>\n
And no, we\u2019re not shocked when Democrats play “hardball” and descend into the sewer. That\u2019s where you\u2019ve gotta go meet \u2019em. We expect it.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
