McConnell also stated "we shouldn't legislate as if we will be in power forever" when he took office then he went and did exactly that raising the stakes.

I would support a return to 60 vote rule but if you look at the history the last 20 years it was definitely abused. This hyper partisanship in the courts is bad for the country, we are starting to look like a banana republic.

Just great and I usually don't agree with you. I don't even totally agree here but I look for reasons to rep "opponent's" posts. I think some adults must gather, on both sides of the aisle, and ensure that every judicial opening does not become a barn-burner.

Do you need a link or source for the obvious?

I called one of my friends and told him that in 1972 we smashed up and burned a chemistry lab in revenge for the 1972 Olympic massacre. He took that as seriously as I take your query.
