Thank you Tampa, for this gem of a find. Hilariously, Obama now says the opposite because it works against his political cause, and he is a liberal to the core (The rules are for thee, but not me).
If Dems burn and riot, arrest and incarcerate them for as long as legally allowed. Never appease them. Prepare to stand your ground.
They threaten violence.
They threaten to “stack the SCOTUS”.
They threaten to eliminate the Electoral College.
They threaten as a way to get things. It’s what bullies do. You don’t appease bullies, you stand up to them, and if attacked, you punch them back in the nose.

You are such a hypocrite! And i believe you can't see it.
conor, Mitch McConnell followed a completely legal option, and it was one that you yoursleves would have done in a heartbeat as you then would argue the other side.
There will be a nominee before the election. Who would Joe's be?
...that the potus is obliged to nominate when there is a vacancy and the senate has a duty to vote on that nominee.
agree.
the sc nomination process should not be held hostage by political motivation.
But, fair play matters over the long game.
Merrick Garland deserved a good faith hearing. Mitch decided otherwise.
60 vote minimum is a good check ‘n balance. Mitch decided otherwise.
A polarized Court diminishes the Court’s legitimacy, especially when a party steals a seat (Garland) or goes “no huddle” on the brink of an election.
The pendulum will swing back ‘n forth in an unhealthy way for the country.
Definitely nicer than "elections have consequences."
The Garland case and this case are different. In the Garland case, the President and Senate were not in control of the same party. Trump's election changed that. This is a different scenario than before. One that is not unprecedented.
Now, what would be unprecedented is if the Democrats changed the size of SCOTUS next year to make up for the fact that they lost elections in previous years.
