Steve Benen has a rant about the Republicans’ hypocrisy with regards to SCOTUS appointments and ends with this:
And when GOP senators howl about Democratic indifference toward norms, traditions, and values, and demand to know why the new majority is governing in such a maximalist way, it will fall to Democratic officials to say, “Because we can.”
But, really, it should have been this:
And when GOP senators howl about Democratic indifference toward norms, traditions, and values, and demand to know why the new majority is governing in such a maximalist way, it will fall to Democratic officials to say, “Because you told us to.”
Benen’s version shuts down the conversation. Mine continues it, and that works against the Republicans because they can’t run their mouths without stumbling over hypocrisy and lies.
