Reid did it in 2013, which last time I checked, was before Gorsuch got confirmed.

I don’t expect roe to get overturned. I do expect a shift away from liberal activism, and damn right that has me giddy. I remember exactly how I felt whan I heard Scalia died, I can’t believe how much better things are than I feared, all because McConnell finally grew a pair and held off obama.

Reid specifically said it wasn't allowed for SCOTUS. The Republicans changed that rule to push Gorsuch through which they likely would have done regardless of what Reid did in 2013.

Ahh. So since you speculate that they might have done it anyway, that means Reid didn’t open the can of worms.

He opened it for everything else, excluding this.

Better Hope RBG hangs on for 6 more years

(FWIW I want to see a fairly balanced SCOTUS without Kook Left and Kook right)
