Because, respectfully, your post wasn't worded in a way that easily drew one to that conclusion. Hence my request for clarification.
Quote:Is changing the rules wrong? Especially when your job involves making and changing the rules? No.
It isn't intrinsically wrong, no. But, as I stated above, there are numerous changes that would be. IMO stacking the SCOTUS would absolutely be one of them.
Quote:Is changing the rules more shady than the shady stuff you admit the Republicans did? No. Not if they follow the rules that allow them to change the rules.
Again, it can be. Manipulating the rules or finding loopholes is literally part of the job description for lawyers and politicians.
Quote:I don’t see this “far cry” difference.
I honestly think it's because you have no desire to.
