Regarding Mitch McConnell's statement that Trump "has the right" to flood the courts

with election challenges :

I "have the right" to file for a divorce from Sarah Palin;

I "have the right" to declare myself Grand Poobah of Middle Earth;

I "have the right" to handle poisonous snakes as proof of my religious faith;

but, the exercise of any of those "rights" would not be any more transparently ridiculous or less willfully ignorant than what Mitch just encouraged Trump to pursue.

My stupid exercise of the above "rights" would not endanger America. Trump's stupid exercise of the "right" Mitch defended does just that.
