This is hilarious. After four years of Trump trashing constitutional and political norms, we now learn that the mere prospects of a Democratic majority pushing back on Republican radicalism will destroy the republic. What rank horseshit. https://twitter.com/baseballcrank/status/1315738326050263043

The Republicans have the constitutional right to do what they want so long as it is constitutional. McConnell, Graham and GOP leaders lying through their teeth about the Garland Rule is wrong but not unconstitutional. Neither is following Lincoln’s example of expanding the Court.

From Bork to Estrada to Reid to Garland to McConnell trashing the filibuster, there are no political norms or guardrails regarding the Senate’s Supreme Court process. McConnell’s radical “Might Makes Right” approach has opened the door to any constitutional act.

Mitch made this bed. Republicans will sleep in it for years.
