      2. Harry Reid opened the door to today by going nuclear on non-Supreme Court appointments in 2013.

          3. Reid (who assumed Hillary would win) urged Dems to go nuclear on Supreme Court appointments.http://talkingpointsmemo.com/dc/harry-reid-if-gop-blocks-scotus-in-2017-dems-should-go-nuclear-again …

          4. Dems are basically forcing this. If you can't get someone like Neil Gorsuch confirmed, who can you get confirmed???

          5. on top of all of that, Gorsuch is replacing Scalia. This won't change the balance of the court.

          No Reid didn't "open the door". And there's no such thing as the "Biden rule". You're avoiding putting responsibility on Repubs-big surprise

          Merrick Garland. Merrick Garland. Merrick Garland. Go to your corner, Matt, and think about Merrick Garland.

          If Merrick Garland had gotten a vote he wouldn't have received 60 votes

          Maybe. But the fact is Garland didn't get a hearing. Repubs broke the systems of trust & shirked duty. Now they play the victim. Falsely.

          It'd have been a waste of time, IMO, something both sides have been good at

          What a self-serving hypothetical. Garland had bi-partisan support, from Orrin Hatch, even, for goodness sake. He deserved a hearing.

          Not disagreeing with you, just saying he'd never get the 60 votes during election season, so why bother? 1/2

          So, then vote on Garland up/down, and if down, move on to the next candidate. That's why bother.
