In your utter fantasy hypothetical, did the liberal party refuse to appoint a previous conservative president’s SCOTUS pick based on a completely made-up rationale, and then as soon as it was applicable to them, threw that rationale in the garbage along with their solemn oaths to not do that?
Also, “What’s cool for a Democrat to do is illegal when done by Republicans” is just goofy.
Ah, the whole, “I imagine that you are hypocrites, therefore you are”, argument.
AKA when Republicans do shitty things, I’ll pretend that Democrats would do the same thing, rather than have the guts to call them out for their behavior.
Feel free to point out what horrible things the Democrats did when they had the Presidency and the Senate. I know they tried to fix our health care system, the devils.
Yeah, I always like the accusations of bothsidesism, because it is an explicit admission that what you have done is wrong.
Isn’t this pretty close to what fdr did? I thought that was the example he was bringing up.
Did you stop at the first paragraph, or just not read the last?
Your comment was that this something imaginary. I think it actually happened.
If a conservative attempted to bully the supreme court the was fdr did, I think democrats would be just as outraged as republicans were back then. but it’s not an imaginary thing,.
So, you didn’t read the last paragraph.
I dunno, why don’t I ask my dad? Wait, he was only a month old when that happened, and he died when he was 79.
OTOH, we can talk about what the Republicans are doing right now, and whether it’s appropriate right now.
Tit for Tat has likely already in process, and I dont like the forecast, regardless of the winner.
