      IOW, you're bringing nothing to the table in terms of fact, history, or principle, just feelings & ad hominem & mistrust of historical expertise.

      I've put my case on the record at length, based on my research & expertise on the topic. If you had more than feelings behind your case, you'd offer it.

      (I just happen to think you're full of crap, and that if a Democratic president were defeated by a Republican in November, even with a Dem senate - you'd figure out how to make it a principle in the name of God and country that no one could fill that seat until the next year.)

      So Dan is 100% right on the history and the facts but you THINK he would say otherwise if the situation were reversed that gets used a pretext to say he's wrong.pic.twitter.com/awORCC3VYd

      I was never contesting the history, I was saying it's not some principle that exists as a rule that Senators have to follow - which was very much Ernst's implication here. Look, guys, I get it: You want GOP judges at all costs. Just say it and spare us all the theater.

      I'm going to quote from an underrated movie called 'Family Business' where Matthew Broderick's maternal grandfather says to Dustin Hoffman after a lame joke, "Your material is getting stale." Meaning your defensive posture of, "You just want ___" is tedious and lazy.

      Okay, Jay. If I were you, I'd stop reading me, because "I think you and other Clean Hands Trump-Lite Guys are unprincipled and will say whatever serves the interest of getting the judges you want" is pretty much going to be a standard feature of my TL for a bit longer.

      If you actually looked at the record, I was skeptical of the Garland decision at the time. When I went back and looked at the historical record, I changed my mind. You might want to try it sometime.

          The bottom line, though, is that no one ever interpreted this history like this before 2016. And in 1968, 18 Republicans said election year mid-summer = no confirmation. And it was contested, and Johnson might even have gotten an October nominee if he was smart. But, for better

          Or worse, that became the custom. Breyer's circuit nomination, for example, only passed because he was a Judiciary Committee staffer & Strom Thurmond blessed it. Then Republicans made it the entire election year in 2016. Now they’ve clarified they only meant w/divided government.

          Perish the thought Tom would rather be “right” in his mind (and in front of all his Twitter followers) than admit he might have been wrong
