Oh, yeah?

"Sen. Blumenthal Says ‘There Will Be Consequences’ if Judge Barrett is Confirmed".

What's he going to do, lead his old Toys for Tots squad in a special ops raid through Lafayette Park and storm the White House using Super-Soakers?

C'mon, you remember Devil Dog Dick, don't you? The guy who lied for years about serving in Vietnam?

Blumenthal's own credibility has been called into question since he entered public life. When Blumenthal first ran for the Senate in 2010, the New York Times revealed that he had lied for years about fighting in the Vietnam War. Blumenthal repeatedly touted his supposed combat experience in speeches to veterans groups and civic organizations, saying he had "served in Vietnam." However, a review of his military records revealed that he procured five deferments from the military before joining the Marine Reserve. During the war he traveled as far west as Washington, where he helped the Toys for Tots program, but never saw actual combat.

Dick Blumenthal: "Say, you think that wasn't rough? Those kids were animals!"

Fortunately, he's a Dimocrat, so they aren't lies about military service, they're 'life enhancements'.

And, I'd remind Dick of what his favorite ex-President once said: Elections have consequences.

Yeah, the left is furious about this process. They won't listen to McConnell's excellent schooling about their antics, which is their loss.

Me, I'm just enjoying the taste of their salty, salty tears.

Yeah, there will be consequences, they wont be able use their "ace in the hole" John Roberts anymore.

Yeah, he sure is, isn't he.

Oh, wait...you said "ace in the hole". Heh. I must have misread it the first time.
