. But back in 2005 he was recommending that GOP Senate majority Republicans under GWB do exactly what Reid and Obama did last year, that he went nuts over.
Levin :"The problem today is a systemic one, i.e., the misuse of a Senate rule to block judicial nominees from receiving the consent (or rejection) of the full Senate. Each of these candidates reportedly has enough votes for confirmation, but for the unprecedented use or threat of filibusters. The majority has every right and reason to change the rule
Will On Filibusters Considering a column and a battle to come. By Mark R. Levin (NRO March 21, 2005)
On another level, one might note that one rarely agrees with anybody else on everything. I know I don't. But that doesn't keep me from respecting the body of another's work.
I'm aware of Levin's dichotomy toward the filibuster. I don't necessarily agree with him, but I also recognize that his argument is directed more toward the Republicans consistently fumbling their approach to the device.
On balance, I appreciate his thinking. And his actions.
You evidently don't. You're welcome to your opinion.
I can’t speak for Mark Levine on your wanting example of hypocrisy. But the grounds for the filibuster on each side of the isle was different BY A LOT.
The Republicans were filibustering based on qualifications and radical political activism pasts. The democrats were filibustering because the judges were strict constitutionalists. The dems did not even make a case. They just said it was their right. The republicans were, in rare form, making cases for their objections to closing debate about the nominees appointments.
