Hi Jonathan! The NYT wrote a entire standalone story on the Biden rule, dedicating a whole story to a 25-year old speech and legitimizing it as a GOP counterargument. I remember reading this piece. It bestowed legitimacy and others followed the NYT’s lead.https://www.nytimes.com/2016/02/23/us/politics/joe-biden-argued-for-delaying-supreme-court-picks-in-1992.html …
Protests from @ajentleson aside, this surprises no Hill reporter nor did we report his position on Merrick Garland credulously. We all understood his blockade was partisan, not principled. https://www.nytimes.com/2019/05/29/us/politics/mitch-mcconnell-supreme-court.html?smid=nytcore-ios-share … via @nytimes

Of course you can find a single story chronicling an episode in the Merrick Garland saga. As you know full well as a former Senate press guy, the Biden speech was a moment in that saga and we report moments. Read the totality of the coverage.https://www.nytimes.com/news-event/supreme-court-nomination-2016 …

Hence the Dems’ weak fight was even more pathetic looking back. There are no politicians on our side who are cunning enough to fight this duel. Sigh.

MCCONNELL IS NOTHING MORE THAN A POLITICAL PROFITEER. REPUBLICANS PROVE EVERY DAY THEY WOULD LOVE A DICTATORSHIP AS LONG AS IT'S THEM! SADLY, TRUMP SUPPORTERS PROVE EACH DAY THEY WANT A DICTATOR, AS WELL!
