Well, I have to give the reader some credit. Based upon my comments, it is
clear that I would not be screaming if Trump were in the position that
President Obama is now concerning the selection of a Supreme Court Justice.
If I don't think this type of decision is of the type that would preclude a
lame duck President from making, then I clearly have to believe this to be
true whether a Democrat or a Republican is in the White House.
Would "the left" so scream? Probably, but they would be wrong. The
question of whether the left would scream is not serious or particularly
relevant to anything of importance, it's just a weak feint at trying to get
a "gotcha" for hypocrisy. Meh, so what?
So is the corollary question of whether the left would demand an autopsy and
full investigation. Those things are called for when there is some evidence
that would lead a rational person to suspect foul play. Here, there is
none. Guys like my friend paul popinjay seem to assume that powerful
government men live forever and that the mere fact that one of them died is
part of a grand conspiracy of murder and intrigue. In reality, a
79-year-old, overweight, white male with a sedentary job had a heart attack
and died in his sleep. Upon what do you base your suspicions?
