This is the same bull$hit argument that The Turtle uses in the Senate for not changing the rules there to facilitate approval of appointees and other things. There is NOTHING in the Constitution that demands that the Senate operate as it does, and with the direction of things today, you can bet that when and if the RATS get control of either the Senate or the Presidency, you can kiss these “rules” goodbye!
And as a corollary here, Trump needs to do everything in his power to remake our Judiciary, because that’s been the Left’s “trump card” in controlling the other two branches of government to achieve their Socialist/Marxist goals.
The rules on appointees were good ones in a sane world, but were diminished first to disallow opposition, and then to get around misbehavior. Unfortunately, changing them didn’t diminish misbehavior, but rather simply changed the bar as to how much was required in order to affect things.
We keep breaking things, and once broken, it is very difficult to re-form them again. While there have been many issues over the long years, Bill Clinton introduced many tactics and behaviors into politics and Presidential processes that once the barriers were breached are now part of the common discourse and executions of power.
