A few weeks ago I read where Mitch McConnell said he would not consider Obama's pick for the Supreme Court because Obama "started it."  I thought, "This is the argument of a five-year-old."  The other night Anderson Cooper bawled out Donald Trump for using the same excuse regarding Ted Cruz.

Both parties have done this endlessly in my observation, and quite frankly I'm sick of it.  I'm reminded of when my own children were toddlers and would get in a fight.  Each would claim the other started it, with immediate lists of infractions by the other going back well before the current dust-up.  I would always respond with, "I don't care who started it, I want you both to stop it."

I feel the same way about our politicians.  I'm sick of both sides.  If the Senate majority wishes to deny Garland the seat, they have the power.  Their childish political game does not serve our nation, however, it just perpetuates the mess our country has become.

Grow up, both of you.
