Messaging SCOTUS as "GOP hypocrisy" is utter failure. Suggests we stand for nothing - there isn't a higher order value here. Has us quoting 2016 GOP talking points (note they're quoting 2016 Dems to charge us with hypocrisy too.) Say what you're for. Claim moral high ground.

What if I’m for not being a total fucking hypocrite though?
That's a totally valid thing that you are *not* for - ie. you oppose. It doesn't say what you're for. And, it's a hard position to argue in this case cause in 2016 Dems declared it fine to select new justice in an election year.

I could argue that February and September are not the same thing, but I’d be dodging your point. There’s a reason why nobody pays for my advice.

I would pay for your advice Amy!

Also I think framing it as *the election is already underway, with voting happening now* helps make clear that it’s not hypocrisy in that R’s are doing now what they wouldn’t let D’s do with Garland, but that this is actually a totally different beast. AND still hypocritical

Like, the idea that a Supreme Court nominee should not be pushed through at the last minute by a president possibly motivated by protecting himself and stealing the election, while the election is already underway - seems like something most folks would understand and agree with
