MITCH is the asshole who refused to give Garland a hearing. Now you have the SAME GOP going back on the standard they set.
What should anyone expect?
I don't see what choice Dems have? If "play by the rules" is their standard, and they don't follow the rules they set, then what kind of reaction should they expect?
If you hope no one wants that, then it will Most certainly come By the hands of the other side because they certainly don’t mind having it and using it.
You better want it and take it in your hands and prepare to use it.
"Turn the other cheek" is utopian. It is a good goal for sure. But at some points in history, when the other side isn't going to play by the rules, it is hard to refrain.
I would love nothing more than for Mitch and the GOP to hold off on appointing a SCOTUS now, based on their own standards. But they are not going to do that.
All I am asking, is how do we respond? Because they have proven they are not going to play by the rules.
