quote:

Schumer announced on Monday that he is sending McConnell a copy of a letter the Republican wrote in 2009 outlining “standards” for President Obama’s Cabinet nominees. In a speech on the Senate floor and a tweet in which he shared a handwritten version of the letter with McConnell’s signature crossed out, Schumer suggested he is trying to show his requests are “reasonable.”

I seem to recall many, many complaints about "ramming things through..." in 08. I'm sure those same people will make the same principled stances now.

McConnell learned the error of his ways and is now using the sound and traditional dem standards. He probably appreciates Shumer and Co. for the education on proper procedure.

You also forgot these....

it was sent further along in the presidential transition process, when many of Obama’s nominees had already been confirmed.


quote:

I was in Sen. Schumer’s position eight years ago,” McConnell said. “I know how it feels when you are coming into a new situation that the other guys won the election. What did we do? We confirmed seven cabinet appointments the day President Obama was sworn in. We didn’t like most of them either. But he won the election.

McConnell should point out Schumers comments in 2013 about the use of "nuclear option" and his apparent flip flop regarding it.

Schumer is your classic Lib hypocrite complaining about the 4v4 USSC and now saying he wants to keep Scalia's seat open indefinitely.
