re: Clarence Thomas Issues Warning About The Supreme Court

So you have admitted the hypocrisy. In first instance, the official Senate position conveyed by McConnell was that the Senate should not take up a nomination so close (8 months) to an election, because it could go against what the people might want.

Ok. We agree that McConnell is an idiot who should have simply said "we don't have to do that, and we won't."

That does not mean the Senate had to take up the nomination, and he could have used literally any reasoning he wanted for not doing so.

It wasn't unprecedented. It wasn't unique. It wasn't unusual. It wasn't hypocrisy.

It's just how our system works. You're fooling yourself if you don't think the Dems would have done the exact same thing. I mean, they're talking about blowing up the entire system of government to stack the court.
