McConnell blasts Democrats' efforts to 'smear and defame' conservative justices

Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) defended Supreme Court Justices Neil Gorsuch and Clarence Thomas by name, adding that they and the rest of the justices exhibit "high ethical standards" amid Democratic scrutiny of the court's ethical standards.

McConnell said that a three-page statement signed by all nine justices vowing to follow "foundational ethics principles and practices," while suggesting there's no need for a formal code of conduct sought by Democrats, is sufficient. That statement was tied to a Tuesday letter from Chief Justice John Roberts, who refused a call by Sen. Dick Durbin (D-IL) to testify on court ethics before the Senate Judiciary Committee.

I suppose he feels obligated to defend conservatives every now and again whether he wants to or not.

I wonder how much  the RNC had to pay him to get him to do that?

If a blow to the head makes him come around a little imagine what ten or twelve more could do .

I think that's is what's known as a hard cognitive reset.... I wonder if it would work for Joe,  probably not to much corrupted data in his hard drive.
