rules”. Stewart is right on point, for too long Dems have been so concerned about playing fair that they have allowed Rs to walk over them. He points to Garland not getting a hearing saying Obama should have just appointed him to a SCOTUS seat, the Senate abdicated their responsibility. Garland should have show led up at the SC and see Rs try stop him. Another example was the Border Bill as part of the Infrastructure Act that the parliamentarian said violated rules and Biden just accepted it. We know what Rs would have done, Barrett is an example of how they play chess while we play checkers. Seems like I, and many others, were saying this during 8 years of Bush and 4 years of Trump yet Dems have learned nothing. I’m gonna be watching Netflix for the foreseeable future.
