This is hackish nonsense designed to pretend something the writer knows not to be true. (Did Biden & Senate Dems change the size of the Court in 1987-88? No.)https://twitter.com/AriMelber/status/1307828256679157762 …

I can't keep up with how quickly our media continues to plummet. Not a single mainstream outlet I've read can bother to note these basic facts. Even the
@538politics podcast, obviously a little left of center, just completely ignores these facts.Thanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo

Hey, tell it to brother French! He wrote the citations, not me. Andyou are careful here to note that the rationale oscillates between “not in a presidential year” or, with the additional justification “of the other party.” MM did what any good lawyer does—pile up rationales.

No, election year & opposing party are both conditions together. Opposing parties have never attempted a years-long roadblock. Your argument is that McConnell & Grassley never said the things they said.

Indeed. See paragraph three on page 1 of this Feb. 2016 letter from every Republican on the Senate Judiciary Committee, for example. https://www.grassley.senate.gov/sites/default/files/judiciary/upload/SCOTUS%2C%2002-23-16%2C%20member%20signed%20letter%2C%20no%20hearings.pdf …pic.twitter.com/h1ZcuI5t0c

Again, tell your trustworthy conservative brother, David French, not me. The quotes are his. Obviously GOP senators didn’t imagine they would sound like frauds just a few years later and were lazy with their rationales.
