McConnell overreach of power

Sen. Mitch McConnell shows his true degree of greatness at this hour of constitutional crisis by again disrespecting the office of the president and President Barack Obama’s constitutional right and duty to appoint a replacement to the Supreme Court.

McConnell is a disgrace to Kentucky and our nation with his ongoing shameful overreach of power.

McConnell’s arrogance gives a paramount reason to remove him from his leadership position in the Senate and to also end fanatical Republicans’ paralyzing control of the U.S. Congress.
