    Here's the story right here. (The fact no one voted against Scalia is really something).https://twitter.com/jtlevy/status/1012825424072671232 …

    Jeet Heer added,

    Jacob T. Levy @jtlevy
    In my lifetime, Democratic Senates have confirmed six Republican Supreme Court nominees. Republican Senates have confirmed zero Democratic nominees. Five Republican nominees-- including Scalia-- have been confirmed unanimously, no Democratic votes against. No Democrats have been.

        That's the civility argument. If we keep playing fair eventually they'll get tired of cheating, even though it works really well.

        Republicans talk about New Rules all the time, maybe we need to stop worrying about being civil and join them. Talking about needing to energize the base of the Resistance. Keep things peaceful, of course.

        Come on, Jacob, Ginsburg was 96-3, Breyer was 87-9, GOP compromised by naming Souter and Kennedy instead of more prominent judges, and no Republican nominee with equivalent valence to RBG has won a majority of Dems in last 30 years.

        no it isn't. it's called censoring & endogeneity: thomas and alito both have less than 60 votes which meams they were too rightwing for dems but they didnt fillibuster. breyer and ginsbutg had such high votes because both are complete corporate shills only socially liberal.

        Almost as if after borking Bork, the Dems felt guilty for playing rough and bent over—whether backward or forward, each can decide for him/herself.

        The fact that Kennedy was confirmed in election year by Democratic majority instead of waiting after the election McConnel like is really something.
