I well remember years ago during the McCarthy hearings, the chief counsel for the U.S. Army, Joseph N. Welch, asking Sen. Joseph McCarthy, “Have you no sense of decency, sir?" Ruth Bader Ginsburg’s body was not even in the ground before President Donald Trump presented his nominee to the Supreme Court (“Trump predicts election ‘will end up in the Supreme Court,’ says he wants replacement for RBG confirmed ahead of Election Day,” Sept. 24).

I have lost my respect for just about all of those serving in the House of Representatives and Senate as well as Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell and certainly Mr. Trump. The nomination could have waited another week. I now ask Mr. Tump and Senator McConnell, have you no decency, sirs?
