"Remember when everyone was civil and allowed Mitch McConnell to steal a Supreme Court seat?

Critics on Tuesday blasted Republicans for tipping the scales of justice.

“Remember when everyone was civil and allowed Mitch McConnell to steal a Supreme Court seat? How’d that work out?” tweeted television producer Bill Prady.

Paul Musgrave, an assistant professor at University of Massachusetts-Amherst, folded in recent conversations about civility into his critique.

“If I ran a restaurant and Mitch McConnell asked to be seated, I’d tell him to wait until after the next presidential election,” he wrote.

“As one after another 5-4 rulings of this SCOTUS on voting rights, abortion rights, the travel ban and more are announced, the full meaning of @SenMajLdr’s unconscionable, nearly yearlong blockade against the nomination of Judge Merrick Garland is manifest,” former Obama adviser David Axelrod tweeted.
