      Dan McLaughlin Retweeted Daniel W. Drezner

      Legal is the first step. It's also supported by historical precedent. Of course you can have legal things that are also dangerous to the rule of law (Trump has done some of them). Confirming Barrett is the opposite of that, which is why you're going after Trump instead.https://twitter.com/dandrezner/status/1316112908292706304 …

      Daniel W. DreznerVerified account @dandrezner
      Republicans want to say that the Barrett confirmation is legal and therefore proper and how dare it be questioned. So it’s gonna be wild if Dems get a sweep this November and start doing lots of legal things and GOP critics will be all “BUT TEH NORMS!”

      There is a strong & decisive precedent from 1937 of rejecting the proposal, which would also destroy the rule of written law in this country. Go read what House & Senate of FDR's own party wrote at the time, or what Biden said in 1987 & 2005 about its fundamental corruption.

          Why when you seem so bent on ignoring what this senate majority leader and judiciary chair had to say about SCOTUS appointments in the final year. If we’re applying rules the same what you said in the past against it isn’t enough so long as it is legal and there is president.

          Plessy v Ferguson was a strong and decisive precedent too. Until it wasn't. Things change. Get used to it

          It’s political precedent, which isn’t actually precedent at all so much as a snapshot of who stood where on an issue at a certain time.
