It's strange how often 'bipartisanship' and 'compromise' mean 'let the Democrats have it their own way.'
Turnabout is fair play. Joe Biden proposed the Biden Rule. Do you think that he wouldn't have pushed to use it against a Republican? For that matter, where does it say that making a suggestion means that the suggestion is final if the other side agrees?
He heard back from his constituents, and they were Not Happy with the suggestion, so he pulled it. If being wishy-washy is some sort of horrible offense, then both parties are equally guilty here, not just the Republicans.
Then we get to Kavanaugh. So an utterly unsubstantiated accusation of rape where the accuser can't buy a single supporting witness (and, yes, I meant buy), can't remember when the supposed crime was committed, and can't remember where it was committed at means that someone is automatically guilty? Wow! Amazing! I didn't realize we were suddenly operating under an even stricter version of the Napoleonic Code!
In that case, how about I accuse you of a crime, and you have to prove you're innocent. Oh, but I can't remember where or when the crime occurred, but I'm suuuuuuuuuuuure it was you. I'll even talk in a little girl voice to make myself seem more vulnerable! Oh, but let me scrub my social media presence first before I do, so that hopefully people won't remember that I'm an activist with an axe to grind. What the Democrats tried to do to Kavanaugh was an abomination, and it isn't their first offense, either.
If you want to talk about 'shady,' lets talk shady practices. This shit was pulled against Bork and Thomas as well. Anita Hill might as well be the original for CBF. She also had no credibility and made a rape accusation. Democrats try this crap all the time.
This has gotten rant-y, which I apologize for. I'll stop here so as not to totally derail the thread.
Edit: And ninja'd too.
