    The original point was about what McConnell said in 2016. We all know that whatever Democrats can do in this area, they will, w/o question of "should" My argument is simply that Republicans should do what has been done in this situation whenever it has arisen in American history.https://twitter.com/stuartpstevens/status/1307798812677648384 …

    The entire premise of civil society is based on restraint. Just because you can do something is not an excuse that makes it the right thing to do. https://twitter.com/baseballcrank/status/1307789169809330178 …

        Somehow its never the Democrats who are supposed to make compromises for the so-called greater good.

        Don't complain when the democratic Senate constitutionally removes the filibuster rule, and then constitutionally adds 2 seats, and then constitutionally sets the justices terms to 10 years. The article 3 justices can keep their lifetime appointments just not on the SC.

        Your argument is nonsense given what happened in 2016.

        Why not just admit that you will advocate for whatever is in your party’s political interest? Knock off the historical b.s. Nobody is falling for it.

        Here's a rule: "The Senate shall not confirm a SCOTUS pick in an election year when *mid either of the following conditions are met: (1) POTUS and Senate majority are of different parties *or* (2) the House and Senate majority parties differ." Why prefer your rule to mine?

        Oh, if only this were the actual reason, as opposed to some throw away line McConnell threw in.

        "This situation" has never arisen in American history. Please tell me when a SCOTUS justice was confirmed just days or weeks before an election.

        Your argument is that Republicans should do the exact opposite of what they did 4 YEARS AGO.
