Do it.
What goes around comes around.
Republicans should have done this back in 1987 when the democrats were destroying (”Borking”) Supreme Court nominee, Judge Robert Bork, a staunch Constitutional “Originalist”.
A threat to change the filibuster rules would likely have ended the democrats attack and could have propelled Bork’s nomination through the senate.
Bork’s nomination was not approved and he was replaced by
fence sitter Judge Anthony Kennedy who was unanimously approved by the Senate.
If Bork had been confirmed as a Supreme Court justice much of the liberal onslaught of the past 25 years would not have taken place.
So, let the democrats change the rules and wait for the days when it comes back to bite them in their Obamas.
The Democrats controlled the Senate at the time of the Bork nomination, and he was never filibustered. His confirmation vote failed, 42-58.
I agree with you about Bork.
One interesting thing though.
If Bork had been on the court we would have won Planned Parenthood Vs. Casey 5-4 instead of losing 5-4.
But we also would have lost the Heller and McDonald Second Amendment cases.
I’m not comparing the two issues, just making an observation.
No doubt we would have won a ton more 5-4 cases though.
