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.

Of course each party filibustered the others judges because they disagree with them. That's not breaking news.

‘Its OK for me but not for thee’ is pretty lame.
