A SCOTUS Opening

Absolutely not.  McConnel is an absolute hypocrite.  If you disagreed with him in 2016 and agree with that position in 2020 then you are also a hypocrite.  This isn't even up for debate.

What integrity?  Cocaine Mitch is a savvy and cunning politician, but integrity is not a word I'd ever associate with him.  So, either join Mitch in his hypocrisy or stay true to your position.  Although you've already made your intentions in this regard clear.

You didn't trouble yourself to demonstrate you even understood my "position" and then explain what was hypocritical about it. 

 Just name-calling isn't "pointing out" anything. It is just name-calling.

Authoritarian pronouncements about what is or is not "up for debate" don't "point out" anything either. Especially from the guy who alternates between moral absolutism and "nuance" when it suits him.

This time it is moral absolutism--If wrong then, then wrong now!

But two wrongs wouldn't automatically make one hypocritical, just wrong twice. 

Wrong then and right now is only wrong once, and not necessarily hypocritical. 

Same for right then and wrong now. And one could be hypocritically right in both cases.

That's because hypocrisy generally isn't assessed separately from intentions and claimed ethical standards from which those intentions determinably diverge. You can't get anything like that from my post.
