“It’s called precedent,” the Senate Judiciary Committee chair said of violating the same rule that Republicans ignored to move forward with judicial nominees.
Big “of COURSE two wrongs make a right” energy in this article and comment section 🤦
Well…a wrong is a negative thing. Two wrongs would be a double negative. A double negative is a positive and a positive thing is a right. Therefore two wrongs do in fact make a right. (Please note: I don’t believe this and an just using words recreationally)
Careful about using words recreationally, that shit can be habit-forming!
Sincerely, wordplay addict and loving it 😁
Why should Dems follow all the rules when repubs don’t? If anyone cares about the rule, they should have punished the previous committee leaders even though they have an R by their name.
The same reason Dems should do a SHITLOAD of things differently than the Republicans: because they’re better and more honest or at least pretending to be.
That’s exactly what Republicans have become adept at manipulating.
So do you want Dems to be like Republicans or are you just a massive hypocrite?
I want Dems to stop being taken advantage of. Inaction has gotten us where we are.
They’re not being taken advantage of. They’re CHOOSING to not use powers they legitimately have in order to protect their owner donors from what they, the Dem leadership, say in public that they want to do.
Like back when they “had to” take the minimum wage increase that the vast majority of the population wants out of the infrastructure bill because one unelected bureaucrat didn’t think it was a budget item 🙄
Bringing a gun to a gun fight isn’t wrong.
Nobody’s shooting them for allowing debate. It’s not a binary where they have to either allow Republicans to obstruct endlessly or eliminate debate completely.
They all had two prior opportunities to debate, though!
after Chairman Dick Durbin (D-Ill.) held votes on two of President Joe Biden’s judicial nominees without allowing debate on them
Were these two opportunities for other nominees? You know that different people aren’t interchangeable, right? 🤦
