Idaho’s US senators abdicate duties

There are two qualities a voter should never tolerate in their elected representatives: hypocrisy and actions that show no respect for the intelligence of their constituents. Idaho’s two U.S. senators, Mike Crapo and Jim Risch, possess both qualities in abundance. Idaho’s two senators joined with their fellow Republican senators in announcing under no circumstances would they hold a hearing or even meet with any nominee President Barack Obama will submit to take the seat held for many years with distinction by the late U.S. Supreme Court Associate Justice Antonin Scalia. They have wrapped this dereliction of duty in flowery language about letting the people decide in the November elections whether a Scalia replacement and several other expected vacancies in a new presidential term will be nominated by another Democrat or by a Republican/ Chris Carlson , Carlson Chronicles.
