Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell said about ending the filibuster: “Nobody serving in this chamber can even begin to imagine what a completely scorched earth Senate would look like.” A scorched Earth Senate looks like a Republican majority leader telling a Democratic President who was elected twice by a majority of voters that he can't nominate someone to SCOTUS 9 months before an election, and then confirming someone 9 days before who was nominated by a president who lost the popular vote.
