Do we ever get to be at a point where we can say "Hey, no more" or "Hey, this isn't cool" and stop with the partisan stuff of "But so and so did it in the past!"? Or are we forever doomed to dance this way just because so and so did or theoretically did it on the other team first?

The courts said it is legal. This has nothing to do with what you are saying BUT, this goes back as it often does to a long standing argument of mine......you can NOT expect others to do what you refused to do.

There was a question asked. I found the answer. The courts ruled.

Now, as I said in my first post......if you want to argue their competency, that is something else.

I am not necessarily arguing legality, perhaps more morality. More of a broad question as to partisanship itself, really, which is an annoyance of mine. Just all this deflection back and forth to "Hillary Did it!" "Bush did!" etc.

When one refuses to condemn something, they have little ground in condemning others. (For the record, I did condemn Hillary's involvement and taking the proceedings behind closed doors).

Neither in question here have the background to do what they are doing. They are doing what they are doing because we refused to hold politicians accountable in the past.

It's still happening. (yes a biased source but the clip is here).

Debbie did a lot of harm to the party. She's doing a ton more here but where are the calls for her to give it up and go away already?

I would assume you were equally upset when Hillary Clinton got all involved in health care reform while she was FLOTUS.

*Shrug* so let's start doing it. I don't belong to either party, so I don't hold one or the other in special accord.

Hillary ran in part on a ticket proclaiming Bill would be a sort of co-President running the economy.

Did you complain about that at the time?
