        .@lisamurkowski Ma'am. This has never happened. I get why you want it to happen now, but I'm a historian. You need to stop claiming this.

        I think it is a historically fine argument to make: The meaning of SCOTUS and partisanship is changed and we're not gonna vote.

        But to claim history is on the side of this new iteration of SCOTUS/Senate partisanship is simply inaccurate.

        Would a single vote be swayed if the GOP stopped claiming "tradition" and admitted it's simply they don't want another liberal justice?

        Is there a single swing voter who might be tempted to vote GOP for "tradition," but not for simply admitting SCOTUS is partisan?

        @JamesFallows @lisamurkowski obviously she's referring to her party's tradition of making things up. Am I right Senator?

        @lisamurkowski that tradition is not based on reality. This cognitive dissonance isn't what you were known for when you were a AK legislator
