Great title, pointed words, hard to fathom the rush to replace her other than a political power play. I liked the allusion to the Wizard of Oz. Pay no attention to that man behind the curtain!

I wish I could send him to a land far, far away! And yes, it is a blatant power play, for four years ago when Justice Scalia died, they waited months, until after Trump was elected, before they even brought a vote to replace him! And her bones are not even cold!! Sorry but I get so frustrated when I think about it!
