QOTD: The Good Doctor
by digby
Sometimes I wonder what’s in the cocktails they’re serving in the wingnut bubble these days:
Dr. Ben Carson says Republican presidential candidates wouldn’t be calling on deceased Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia’s replacement to be nominated by the next president if a member of their party currently held the White House.
Asked on WRNN 99.5 FM in South Carolina if his fellow candidates would say the same thing about waiting to nominate a new justice if there was a Republican president, Carson replied, “No, they wouldn’t.”
“But then again, recognize that the two picks that the president has selected are ideologues, so there’s really no reason to believe that his next pick wouldn’t be an ideologue also,” Carson said.
Republicans don’t appoint ideologues in case you were wondering.
Hey, whatever works, amirite?
