Hi, Germany 🇩🇪 here again.

In the 1970's West Germany suffered from severe series domestic terrorism.
The Rote Armee Fraktion.
Their attackes on capitalism, such as Bankers, Politicians, Embassies. To finance, they are committing robbery, killing police. /1

@HouseJudiciary October 20, 1977, former chancellor Helmut Schmidt held a speech on the responsibility of the democracy to protect his citizens, as outlined by the Supreme Court.
He said :

@HouseJudiciary Looking at my German history, I must say to my friends overseas:

He must be hold fully accountable.

We must protect OUR democracy.

The GOP got rid of the SCOTUS filibuster so they could jam through three fringy right-wing Alito clones, including one right before the election, but sure thing, bud.

“Uh, actually, they got rid of the SCOTUS filibuster because Harry Reid did it first for something totally different! I am very smart!”

No. Knock it off.

Here’s the thing about the “But Harry Reid...” excuse:

1. McConnell was holding up Obama nominees, some *for literal years* without a vote.

2. Had he *not* done that, Trump would have inherited *even more* vacant seats.
