Simplicity: this guy broke longstanding Senate procedure and denied Barrack Obama two nominees on the #SupremeCourt.

#Joe doesn't need to change any laws. He simply nominates two justices to the court right now, and pushes them through the Senate.

It is within his purview, and totally legal – and, though it would break recent precedent again, it would do so less egregiously than #MitchMcConnel did in denying the 44th president his deserved nominees, creating our present chaos.

#NewRepublic excoriates #Johnson's "deeply unserious plan" to cleave #Ukraine out of aid package & give #Israel $14B in exchange for $26B gift to wealthy #US scofflaws.

Republicans #MitchMcConnel and #SusanCollins immediately joined #WH and #Democrats in going for his jugular.

With his "trollish ploy" exposed, Johnson "played dumb". What he described as "bifurcating", I'd describe with a similar-sounding word "bi-fckd" that means "shafted from both ends."
