Democrats fiddle while USA burns

From Carl Jarvis.

Need more proof that the Democratic Party is a toothless old Tiger?
Here's the latest from Robert Reich:

Dear MoveOn member,

I flipped on CNN the other day, and I almost spit out my coffee.

There, on TV, was a Democratic U.S. senator arguing that we shouldn't
really try to block Trump's stolen Supreme Court pick.1

Then I flipped the channel, and there was another one saying the same thing.2

Never mind that this is a stolen seat that by all rights belongs to
President Obama's nominee, Merrick Garland. Or that this is a judge
who by many counts
is "more conservative than Scalia" and a reliable friend of big
corporations. Or that Trump's entire presidency may be illegitimate
given the unprecedented
interference of Russian agents and FBI Director James Comey.

Senate Democrats should shut down the work of the Senate while the
immoral and unconstitutional Muslim ban stands.

They have the votes to stop this pick. But to do it, they need to show
some spine.
