| Inviso 09/22/20 12:26:27 PM #27: | Corrik, stop making up hypotheticals that never happened. There is absolutely ZERO reason to think, based on the Democrats' actions for at LEAST the past twenty years, that they would have held a seat open for a year in the hopes of winning the next election and getting to fill the seat themselves. Keep in mind that this is a party that allowed Clarence Thomas to be installed on the Court without a filibuster, despite his confirmation being WELL below the 60-vote threshold. Hell, there's even discussion (that I agree with) that the Dems, if they take power in the Senate, should abolish the filibuster and just force through as much legislation as possible with a simple majority, which would be fair play since the Republicans already did that with the Supreme Court nominations. But again, there is zero reason to think the Democrats would actually do this since, as has been mentioned, they play by the rules far more than their Republican counterparts, to their own detriment more often than not. By your own logic of "well they WOULD have done it if they could!", I could point out your argument from the last topic about how its the Dems' own fault that Ginsburg's replacement is being fast tracked, because they filibustered Gorsuch. Like the Republicans WOULDN'T have just abolished the filibuster now if they hadn't already done it before. --- Touch fuzzy. Get fuzzier. Inviso ... Copied to Clipboard! |
