@Purple Haize You make it sound nice but your logic doesn’t really follow. When you talk about McConnell’s about-face from Garland to ACB, it’s “themz the rules,” but when Dems want to use their current majority to try to pass legislation through legitimate channels, themz are also the rules, you just don’t like what they are using the rules for.
If you want to plead precedent, it’s not like the Supreme Court has always had 9 justices.
One of the revealing things of the recent hyper-partisan shift in politics is how many of the “rules” are just precedents that were only upheld by the integrity of the elected officials.
Since integrity has become scarce, it’s open season on anything that isn’t written into law. If I wanted to go further, this is absolutely a result of boiling down politicians to a checklist of policies and dismissing the importance of character.
