Let's face it, the hyper-partisanship in this country is turning the government into a dysfunctional body, incapable of even the simplest of tasks...like confirming a Supreme Court justice.
The Republicans are crying foul about this Cavanagh situation, which is particularly galling because they literally stole a Supreme Court seat from Obama.
How can we get past this? I have a solution that will bring this country together, or at the very least, end the inevitable payback loop we are now engaged in.
Trump should withdraw Cavanagh. Nominate the rightful Justice Merrick Garland. Consider Neil Gorsuch your newest Supreme Court justice. This is his rightful seat now. He would no longer have an asterisk next to his name, would no longer be considered an illegitate justice installed unconstitutionally. Democrats could no longer bring up the stolen seat. Republicans could reclaim a moral high ground--something they haven't been able to do in more than a decade.
Done.
