Hypocrisy is the tribute vice pays to virtue, and there used to be a lot more gestures toward respect and collegiality. I mean, Obama's nomination of Merrick Garland was "let's all cooperate and be friends!" tantamount to bringing a plastic butter spreader to a gunfight. With somebody who hunts rabbits with an assault rifle. And the Republicans didn't even come up with some bogus reason for not confirming him, they wouldn't even vote.
