Please no second impeachment. Do what you can but don’t do silly things just because you can.
I would say rushing through a Supreme Court nomination just before an election on a party-line vote when the body is still warm is silly, when most of that party is on record as saying it would be wrong just 4 years ago.
I've heard them floating the justification that it's different now, because the presidency and the Senate is controlled by the same party.
That's no sort of justification; that just happens to be the situation they're taking advantage of, just because they can. I think it's entirely fair in that case for the House to take advantage of what they are allowed to do under the constitution.
Not the way I want politics to go, but the Dems didn't start this.
