Anyone comparing GOP stance on rules change to former D stance w/o explaining unprecedented GOP abuse of rules is misleading people

@ByronYork Not close to what GOP did in 2009-2012, both in terms of scope (# of filibusters) and nature (obstructing routine matters) -
@theplumlinegs That's a he-said-she-said eye-of-beholder argument. If Dems change rules with 51 votes, bad things will happen in future. -
@ByronYork Thats possible. Also could be that if we keep filibuster/ending debate no one will ever junk that & risk being in minority later

@ByronYork I'd add GOP had party-wide political strategy of rendering govt dysfunctional. Unprecedended, according to Mann/Ornstein book -
@ThePlumLineGS@byronyork Example: refusal to ratify **any** director of CFBP (not just Warren). Nullification of duly enacted law.
