Facts are not Bouie's strong suit...he picks a narrative, and then uses his extensive talents to lie about it.

Bouie acts as if installing left wing judges hasn't been critical to the liberal agenda since Franklin Delano Roosevelt's first election...
...in 1932.
We are talking almost NINE DECADES.

He also brings up the gambit about the DC circuit court, which never, ever had any chance of happening.
Instead, Dems are bringing up court packing and the filibuster...which both could EASILY happen. Who is the bigger threat then?

Bouie: "my final point is that this isn’t actually a question of principle, it is a question of power. if your view is “the only constraint on our ability to wield power is the text of the constitution” then you have no grounds to challenge your opponents when they say the same."
This coming from the man who defended Obama for 8 years...
...Mr. President "I have a pen and a phone".

In short, Bouie undermines HIS OWN ARGUMENT when he says that if you have abused your power, we need not worry about your complaints.
By his own rationale...McConnell was right with Garland, because Obama abused his power regularly.
He is making the case to block Garland.

In short, these stupid arguments never work in one direction...and Democrats are shocked when the other side uses its own arguments against them.
This is going to keep getting worse. Biden has no inclination to maintain political norms.

I've been saying this for a long time:
Obama was worse than Bush. Trump is worse than Obama. And whoever comes after Trump (apparently Biden) will be even worse.
Biden is living up to that promise.
