We didn't create any of these rules. Republicans pulled them out of their ass to HOARD court seats for themselves, so they could bring an imbalance to the court system, and rig it so it would have high number of partisans that would rule in their favor, and shred judicial precedent they didn't agree with.He was denied a vote because McConnell was the Senate majority leader and controlled the votes. He did exactly what Schumer was saying he would do for decades if he were in the same position. Democrats can't rig the rules and then complain when the other party follows them.
Was the rule unfair? Yes! That is why the Democrats created it. And now they are fainting outrage when their playbook is used against them. When you publish your playbook for the world to see you shouldn't be surprised.
No matter. Republicans have thrown their gloves off and are looking for a culture war, and they're going to get just that for what they're about to do.
Democrats have options if they win the majority.
