Not if you apply the Thurmond rule

er I mean to say you are correct

what you are saying logically follows

and I agree there is some level of hypocrisy

Either way I am still fine with packing the court with one more liberal judge

Let the democrats destroy norms for once

but it doesn't bother me all that much for two reasons

1. McConnell had God literally come down from heaven and give him his revenge over the Democrats nixing the fillibuster for judicial nominees

"You will regret this" lol

his literal words

Ah yes the filibuster

2. in 2016, the republicans merely blocked a vote, which they would anyway have won

the fight was over a nothingburger

Yeah but they would be forced to give a good reason

They probably wasn’t one

no not really

Merick from what I understand was pretty non partisan

did the democrats have a good reason for voting against the latest nominee?

Hyper religious

that is

🤮

unconstitutional

Prob not

its not

So judges aren't allowed to be religious?

But they didn’t control the senate

I don’t want my judges hyper religious no

OK well that is not a "good" reason to me

Are you aware several current justices before justice barret were practicing Catholic?

They didn’t really need to give a reason

@james j, you just advanced to level 17!

neither would the republicans

They were the minority

this is a bs argument bro

last nominee was a nothing burger

they don't have to give a "reason" and if they did, they could make up some BS

Yeah but since they were the majority they would be responsible for actually blocking the judge where as if you as a democrat object it has no impact

Typically the reason you would not confirm a judge is due to something related to their work in law

No one is gonna be like “why did you let her through?”

She denied a woman to suit the department of correction because she said rape was not part of the correctional officers duty
