Selective Memory

At least it seems that way when Dumocrats talk about how the Republican leadership “broke the Senate.” They seem to forget all the times THEY “broke the Senate” in the past—or they fervently hope YOU will forget all their LIES in the past, present, and future. The former aide to former Senate Majority leader (at the time) Harry Reid wrote an Op-Ed saying current Majority Leader Mitch McConnell “broke the Senate and hurt the country.” Which completely ignores what Reid did when we tried to get a latino judge confirmed: “Somehow, Manley was not so upset when Reid (and/or Kennedy) broke or changed all sorts of Senate rules and traditions, without showing any remorse for doing so. Reid and Kennedy broke 215 years of Senate practice in 2001-03 by using a minority filibuster to permanently kill a judicial nomination, that of brilliant lawyer Miguel Estrada, for the first time in history. (The real reason they did it was “because …he [was] Latino,” and they didn’t want Republicans to get credit for appointing a Latino.)” They forget their many actions that actually DID “break the Senate.” (Liberty Headlines)
