WEBVTT - Rush Limbaugh Feb 12, 2021

0:00:00.120 --> 0:00:02.600
<v Speaker 1>In her New York Times op ed, the columnist Michelle

0:00:02.600 --> 0:00:07.080
<v Speaker 1>Goldberg accused Republicans of bad faith. She mocked Republicans for

0:00:07.200 --> 0:00:11.360
<v Speaker 1>being shocked at Democrat plans to play constitutional hardball by

0:00:11.440 --> 0:00:15.520
<v Speaker 1>packing the Supreme Court. She says constitutional hardball is how

0:00:15.600 --> 0:00:19.239
<v Speaker 1>Republicans play, so they have no right to complain. Now,

0:00:19.280 --> 0:00:24.040
<v Speaker 1>in her mind, Democrats are victims President Obama's lower court

0:00:24.120 --> 0:00:27.240
<v Speaker 1>nominees in Merrick Garland, they were blocked. She says that

0:00:27.320 --> 0:00:31.200
<v Speaker 1>Democrats are champions of equality, while Republicans are a bunch

0:00:31.240 --> 0:00:35.839
<v Speaker 1>of racists who have opposed pro civil rights judges since reconstruction.

0:00:36.240 --> 0:00:39.800
<v Speaker 1>Let's talk about equality. The Republican Party was born to

0:00:39.920 --> 0:00:43.280
<v Speaker 1>counter Democrats. They were the party of slave owners the KKK.

0:00:43.920 --> 0:00:47.199
<v Speaker 1>If it weren't for Republicans, the civil rights legislation of

0:00:47.240 --> 0:00:51.080
<v Speaker 1>the sixties would not have passed. Democrats were blocking it. Now,

0:00:51.159 --> 0:00:55.680
<v Speaker 1>let's talk about hardball history. Judge bork he was smeared.

0:00:55.720 --> 0:01:00.320
<v Speaker 1>He was borked by Ted Kennedy. Justice Thomas smeared by

0:01:00.400 --> 0:01:06.440
<v Speaker 1>Joe Biden's Judiciary Committee. Justice Alito smeared. Justice Kavanovis objected

0:01:06.480 --> 0:01:10.720
<v Speaker 1>to the most despicable smear campaign judicial history. Republicans have

0:01:10.840 --> 0:01:14.199
<v Speaker 1>never played that kind of hardball, not with Justice Soto,

0:01:14.280 --> 0:01:19.480
<v Speaker 1>mayor Justice Kagan, or even their liberal icon Ruth Buzzy Ginsburg,

0:01:19.720 --> 0:01:22.280
<v Speaker 1>no matter how far left their nominees are. And no,

0:01:22.440 --> 0:01:25.800
<v Speaker 1>we're not shocked when Democrats play hardball and descend into

0:01:25.840 --> 0:01:28.280
<v Speaker 1>the sewer. That's where you have to go to meet him.

0:01:28.520 --> 0:01:29.200
<v Speaker 1>We expected
