Give me one good reason I shouldn't believe Mitch McConnell [View all]
By Dana Milbank
Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell has raised the possibility of a nationwide abortion ban if his Republicans gain control of government, but he promises that pinky swear! I will never support smashing the legislative filibuster on this issue or any other.
And I totally believe him! Ive always believed Mitch McConnell.
I believed the Kentucky Republican when he said in 2016 that an election-year Supreme Court vacancy should not be filled until we have a new president before he filled a Supreme Court vacancy eight days before the 2020 presidential election.
I believed him when he excoriated Democrats in 2013 for breaking the rules and using the nuclear option to eliminate the filibuster for lower-court nominees before he broke the rules and used the nuclear option to eliminate the filibuster for Supreme Court nominees in 2017.
