Ah...movies. Thank you for the link. It’s a nice follow up to an altered reality article wherein “the narrative” is that both sides of the aisle and the television monitor have become “radicalized” as a result of the election of one Donald Trump.
“Thanks to the Kavanaugh fight and the Merrick Garland shenanigans before it, there are three new fair-game realities: 1) The parties feel free to delay nominations a year-plus if necessary. 2) High school actions are “fair game.” 3) Partisan-line votes for the Supreme Court are fine.”
Parties have always been able to stall a nominee, if they had the votes. There was no tradition of filibuster for the SC nominees either until the democrats started it, and then the democrats broke it.
