      That's not how being a federal judge works. You don't declare "positions" & run on them.https://twitter.com/ElieNYC/status/1314303813440937992 …

      Does it boggle your mind that the Republicans are trying to push through a lifetime appointment on the Supreme court after the election has started and WON'T tell us her position on abortion rights, health care, or VOTING RIGHTS? Or nah?

      Yeah you also don't demand litmus tests of your federal judges LIKE TRUMP HAS DONE REPEATEDLY AND SO HAS JOSH HAWLEY, so maybe you can take your old rules and shove them up your ass.

      Again, the concept of Democrats doing what the Republicans do seems to bother you. Can't imagine why. Probably for the same reason white people get REAL QUIET about gun rights when Black people talk about the second amendment.

      "Democrats doing what the Republicans do" yeah, Bill Clinton in 1992 was definitely responding to Josh Hawley. Suuure. It's bad when either side does it. Democrats have been doing it much longer. You're the one arguing it is *good*

      Dems have not been doing it for much longer. The Republicans started making this their only test for any judge after they got pissy at SDO and AMK after Planned Parenthood in 92. Which is what Clinton was responding to in 93. Learn your own history.

      Literally that quote is from April 1992, before Casey was decided, so you have your chronology backward.

          Seeing as you didn't cite an article, a speech, or anything that would have allowed me to contextualize the quote, I could only assume that you were referring to Clinton's *actions* on the court, which were not taken until 93 I'm sorry if your lack of specificity led me to error

          I regret that you did not click the link above https://www.baltimoresun.com/news/bs-xpm-1992-07-09-1992191089-story.html … In any event, express litmus tests have been a standard thing in Democratic presidential politics for at least 3 decades. Not so in Republican presidential politics. We both know this.
