That's what I keep asking
@Dionysus444. Who got rid of the judicial filibuster that could have stopped this? It wasn't the republicans. They keep avoiding this and hanging on to words that McConnell said. So words are now above the actual change of laws and legislation in their view...as long as its to the will they want. The constitution clearly states how to proceed right here...are we not going thru with that bc of past words? If thats the case, then they can say nothing if they embrace packing the court and then the Republicans hold the senate....pack away. Words matter more than law, supposedly.
Also dion, you're a smart guy...Gang of 14 was a group of bi-partisan Senators who in 2005 negotiated a compromise that said Democrats would only filibuster judicial nominations in "all but extraordinary circumstances." Dems broke that promise immediately. You don't care about that tho.
Democrats do not care about anything but what they think will help them for the interim...with no regard that the things they change won't always be in their favor. It blows my mind their constituents buy into this feelings, caring, Fairness propaganda they put out and don't pay attention to what they are really trying to do. These ppl have zero civility.
