Everything in life has Consequences
Those consequences could be adding judges to the court or ending the filibuster
Another consequence will be an end of cooperation with Republicans
Why not win the Senate and the White House and do it like Republicans did?
It can happen.
Then what about all those new precedents you lot set?
Like the judicial filibuster? No wait, that was you.
Ending the judicial filibuster? Oh, you again.
Why do you deliberately omit stuff?
Who ended the SCOTUS filibuster?
WHO blocked want was normally a pretty routine Presidential right to
fill judicial vacancies in order to "save them" for their team (and no, I don't mean voting DOWN applicants).
WHO made up a new rule to prevent a president from filling a vacancy before an election?
and WHO reversed that rule 2 weeks before an election?
Those are MAJOR precedents and don't deny it. You know. If they weren't that made up rule would have held for 2020 instead of creating yet another precedent.
SO why shouldn't the Dems pack the court given YOUR behavior?
It's very simple. Win the Senate and the White House. Duh!
So you'll be fine with it if they win it and do that? There has already been a lot of whining from you guys about the possibility.
Bad ideas are still bad ideas.
You can't name anything they did out of order or against the constitutional process.
Yet, the Rs did something wrong.
You not liking it doesn't make it wrong.
Coyote also can't list a single time Democrats didn't confirm a Democrat scotus pick and waited for an election as she demands the Republicans do
Dems never refused to fill a seat in an election year (10 months away) and then filled a seat days before the election when it favored them
Exactly...Kaz seems to miss that. The Dems didn’t invent and disinvent new rules.
Coyote: "The Dems didn’t invent and disinvent new rules."
