re: Hypocrisy of Both Sides- Own It

They have the votes

It’s done

We’ll have a new Justice before the election

That said, if (and it's a big if) both Biden wins in November and the Democrats take control of the Senate, the same logic will apply if they want to pack the court or admit new states to swing the Senate.

Democrats will have the votes, and as you say, dems will be the rules. They won't be 'stealing' anything.

This is stupid. There is following the rules and changing the rules.

First off, this is historically what happens.

Secondly, mitch is not hypocritical, he is following the rule of history that he followed last time.

Third, democrats place people in the court who change the law, Republicans place people in who follow the constitution. The latter is better.

Fourth, no one has packed the courts. That is findings changing the rules for temporary short gain. What will happen is Republicans will do the dame thing soon and we will swing dramatically back and forth with court decisions till theSupreme Court numbers 500 people.

Democrats changed the rules for needing just a simple majority. They did that so they could place very liberal judges on the Supreme Court.

What he should have done was placed someone like garland on the court before placing Kagan or Sotomayor. But instead they changed the rules.

I'm done with them. I hope the rest of the country is as well.
