.@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?

@lisamurkowski OK, if this is a tradition, what is ANY example of it occurring before? -
@JamesFallows@lisamurkowski obviously she's referring to her party's tradition of making things up. Am I right Senator? - 1 more reply

There is no such tradition, and there never was. This tweet is a lie. RT

@lisamurkowski there has never been time where a president didn't nominate a SCOTUS judge for a vacancy. How on earth is this a tradition? -
@lisamurkowski can you name a single example of this happening in the last 100 years? Or ever? - 1 more reply

@lisamurkowski that tradition is not based on reality. This cognitive dissonance isn't what you were known for when you were a AK legislatorThanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo
