   Hello Chuck,

   Cancer kills. That is why a cure is needed.

   Moscow Mitch's lie for refusing to allow a hearing or a vote   
   for a president's nomination for a justice on the USSC has been   
   exposed. What was the lie? In 2016 he said no president should   
   be allowed to have a justice who has been nominated during an   
   election year confirmed by the Senate. Well, guess what? This is   
   an election year. And Moscow Mitch says it is perfectly fine for   
   the president to nominate a justice and for the Senate to confirm   
   that nominee during an election year. What a fucking hypocrite.   
   And all who go along with him.   
      
   >>Well, guess what? This is 2020. Another election year. Do you think   
   >>Moscow Mitch is going to invoke his own made-up rule in order to   
   >>deny his own president the right to nominate a justice to the USSC?

   >There was an article I read the other day that talked about this.   
      
   Would you like me to quote Moscow Mitch's own words?   
      
   >I wish I could find it now.   
      
   Nobody can change the words Moscow Mitch spoke.   
      
   >It showed a while lot of inconsistency from both parties on how this sort of   
   > situation has been handled in the past.   
      
   There is no inconsistency. Moscow Mitch said what he said.
