The 'McConnell Rule' is law (2018)
- 60secz 6y agoPolitics is calvinball. Whatever 5 supreme court justices agree on is constitutional. 51 senators get to decide who that justice is. RBG was brilliant, and fierce and her hubris will be historical.
- anonu 6y agoHad to look it up - thanks for that: Calvinball is a game invented by Calvin and Hobbes. Calvinball has no rules; the players make up their own rules as they go along, making it so that no Calvinball game is like another. Rules cannot be used twice (except for the rule that rules cannot be used twice), and any plays made in one game may not be made again in any future games. The game may involve wickets, mallets, volleyballs, and additional sports-related equipment. There is only one permanent rule in Calvinball: players cannot play it the same way twice. For example, in one game of Calvinball, the goal was to capture the opponent's flag, whereas in a different game of Calvinball, the goal was to score points by hitting badminton shuttlecocks against trees using a croquet mallet. Masks must be worn at all times in Calvinball; these are not allowed to be questioned. https://calvinandhobbes.fandom.com/wiki/Calvinball https://calvinandhobbes.fandom.com/wiki/Calvinball
- mrkeen 6y ago> The issue — whether the McConnell Rule is now binding precedent The rule might be law. > Whether McConnell likes it or not, the McConnell Rule is law. The rule is law. > if McConnell still were to maintain that the McConnell Rule is not law, The rule might not be law. > McConnell’s claim on March 16, 2016, to be bound by it [...] was a lie Yep. > This is obviously too great a cost for McConnell to risk. Nope.
