Sooooo... are you saying that being a hypocrite justifies Reid’s action?
Because Reid’s position in 2008 that exercising the nuclear option would be a grotesque overreach of power that would run against every last wish and intention for freedom from tyranny as it was expressed by the Founders of this country.
The difference between Reid and Levin is that the former is the head of the most powerful legislative body on the planet, and the latter is a radio talk show host. Tell me which one is the bigger gutless criminal when it comes to being a hypocrite.
That question is not well phrased.
Reid's action justified as long as he is a hypocrite?
I know I did say that.
RE :”The difference between Reid and Levin is that the former is the head of the most powerful legislative body on the planet, and the latter is a radio talk show host. “
His past position on this was repeated here by more than a few as if he is Moses coming down from the Mount with the US constitution on stone tablets. And his new one will be too.
And so those opinions that the GOP should have done what Reid just did except first were and are still popular here with more than a few.
Nothing says we have to like what Reid did, unless we said it was a good idea before.
