I love Moscow Mitch's argument. Democrats trample the Senate rules and precedents. Republicans with integrity vote against these changes on principle.
What's the logical next step for these noble Republicans? Restore integrity to the Senate?
No. The logical step is to trample the rules and precedents further!
The most obstructionist Senate majority leader ever claims he blocked "a handful" of Obama nominations.
He claims that the beauty of the Senate lies in that it is a deliberative body while blocking bills from being debated.
He claims to oppose increases in his own power, while relishing in the fact that he gets to decide what the Senate votes on.
"Republicans will not vandalize tradition" while blocking votes on Supreme Court nominations.
Hypocrisy at its finest.
