People who have taken a public hard line rarely change their minds. I'm not begrudging anyone their honestly held views, and if he would rather sit this one out, not my place to denounce it.
I would have thought that the point of my question was obvious. If the Dems try to pack the court for political purposes that's BAD. When the GOP erases the separation between politics and the Supreme Court by eliminating the judicial filibuster that's GOOD. If you want to preserve the value of the court then you don't play political games with its makeup whether it benefits you or not. It's called principle in contrast to partisanship. Now, can you answer my question?
Peter, I sure hope GF6 reads this!

I'll take it.
Were you opposed to Reid and McConnell getting rid of the filibuster for federa judicial nominees?
Could you discuss your opinion as to my points here, instead of playing gotcha or "whataboutism" games?
Do that and I'll answer your question.
