      Which reminds us that Barrett is here because voters gave Republicans an expanded Senate majority in 2018.https://twitter.com/McCormackJohn/status/1315668382612684802 …

      Sasse wanted Trump to fill Kennedy's seat with Barrett, but with Murkowski and Collins having the ability to sink a nominee Barrett was seen as too risky of a pick inside the White House in 2018. https://www.nationalreview.com/2020/09/ben-sasse-everybody-loves-amy/ … pic.twitter.com/xZjo4WBoMx

      It was not, until very recently, controversial to observe that the actions of the U.S. Senate are affected - and properly so! - by who wins elections to the U.S. Senate. Progressives have the strangest hangups.

          Apparently, some guy named Lincoln had “hang ups” as well.

          Dan, you're playing games about what underlying principle you're articulating here. If you're going to do that, at least spare us the phony sanctimony.

          I'm literally arguing that the decision who to nominate was affected by elections, which were decided by voters. That did not used to be such a rage-inducing thing to say.

          No hangup. Just a realization that one election in a body that only elects a third of its members every two years does not necessarily reflect the opinion of an entire county at that time.

          Elections have consequences.

          So if the Dems win the senate, house, and presidency, and pass a law that adds justices to the Supreme Court and use this exact argument your response would be what?

          I’m just saying it’s a lot more gray than “they have the power and law on their side.” There’s also just common sense and precedent and those things do matter, and it’s exactly what the GOP will be screaming if the Dems gain power and add justices.

          Gotcha. So if Dems win the Presidency and the Senate, it's totally fine for them to change the court size then. Because they would have received votes to take the Senate and actions are affected by who wins elections. Good to know you will have no objections
