    The Senate is free to confirm, or not to confirm, whomever it wants whenever it wants. Instead of making that argument in 2016, McConnell made up something about presidents, elections, the people, and parties.https://www.nytimes.com/2019/05/29/us/politics/mitch-mcconnell-supreme-court.html …

        McConnell’s justification for not acting on Garland also put the Senate in a secondary role to that of the president in the confirmation process for Supreme Court judges.

        In reality, the Senate and the president are equals with different jobs. President gets to pick the candidate eligible to be interviewed. The Senate gets to decide whether to interview and if to hire. The president signs final papers only after Senate decides to act.

        In McConnell’s defense, he isn’t being hypocritical. His statements suggest that he sees the Senate as a means to an end, not an important institution in its own right. According to this view, Democrats can’t do what Republicans do because they have different ends.

        But a means/ends view of politics is more harmful to politics in a free society than is a hypocritical view of politics.

        McConnell: “It is a President’s constitutional right to nominate a Supreme Court justice and it is the Senate’s constitutional right to act as a check on a President and withhold consent." — That sounds EXACTLY like the FIRST thing you wrote. So . . . WHO’S the hypocrite? 🤔
