McConnell and the republicans know they are doomed demographically so to keep control
they have to rig elections, gerrymander, use the electoral college, and pack the courts.

The Judicial Crisis Network is a cancer on America and they spent millions getting Kavanaugh, Alito,
Roberts, and Barrett on to the SCOTUS and something like 20 millions on keeping Garland off.

Senator Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.), who blocked former President Obama's Supreme Court nominee Merrick Garland from ever having a hearing in 2016, told the New York Times Magazine that his "decision not to fill the [Justice Antonin] Scalia vacancy" was the "most consequential thing I've ever done."

BTW Mitch McConnell's blocking of the information from getting out to the American people that Russia was working to
elect Trump in 2016 was very consequential too.
