It may be salient, but still, the current situation smacks of opportunism. Consider the left stymies Conservative judges when they can’t appoint (Shumer being one of the worst offenders) and push thru communists when they can. It’s the marxist ratchet effect. They invented the concept of Borking.

“They invented the concept of Borking.”


I know that. But Robert Bork lost on a party line vote. He wasn’t filibustered. Point is, the ‘rats did us (and the Constitution) a favor by trimming the filibuster, though they probably don’t realize it.
