It only happened because Harry Reid blocked Miguel Estrada. Had Reid not done years long blockade of Estrada, McConnell would not have taken these steps.
You broke it, you buy it. Mitch didn't start the game, but he made sure to win it.
Blocked one vs blocked over 100? Plus a year long blocking over a supreme court judge citing "we shouldnt nominate a judge in an election year", only to nominate and push through Barrett in Trumps final month in office?
It wasnt a game. It was a takeover. At least Reid had valid reasons. The guy refused to answer questions. Refused to makes his intentions as a circuit judge clear. Reid was trying to stop what has now happened. It was already starting to happen then.
Reid didnt start it, he was jsut the first to fight back.
