Democrats will whine, cry, cheat, and threaten to get what they want.

Just days after the death of Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg, Democrats are reeling with fear from the idea of President Donald Trump appointing a new Supreme Court Justice before the election.

Rep Jerry Nadler has just layed down a warning to Republicans on Twitter.

Nadler tweeted: “If Sen. McConnell and @SenateGOP were to force through a nominee during the lame duck session—before a new Senate and President can take office—then the incoming Senate should immediately move to expand the Supreme Court,

The tweet continues: “Filling the SCOTUS vacancy during a lame duck session, after the American people have voted for new leadership, is undemocratic and a clear violation of the public trust in elected officials. Congress would have to act and expanding the court would be the right place to start.”

Wow, that’s quite a threat.

Will Nadler feel the same way when Trump wins re-election, and Republicans keep the Senate?
