The Senate wasn't setting a precedent, they were simply blocking the nomination from the opposite political party....as is their right.
Would have played out the exact same way if political tables were turned.
- Aeolun 6y agoI think the political tables have been turned that way quite a few times, but it never happened until that time.

- Aeolun 6y agoNot really, just an inference from there being some 150 years of election. If there was an instance where the other party did this the GOP would be slapping them around the ears with it. So since they’re not doing that, I assume there’s no instance they can use.
