Zax,
The Republicans play by very different rules
No, actually they play by the same damn rules that the Democrats do. And it's all about making it up as they go along.

Remember when the "Gang of Eight," led by Sen. McCain, headed off the nuclear option when Democrats were obstructing Bush's judicial nominees? When Reid became majority leader, he had no qualms about invoking the nuclear option.

Because this time, it's "different."

Remember when Obama himself obstructed the nomination of Supreme Court Justice Samuel Alito? Remember when Biden said that Supreme Court nominees shouldn't be appointed on an election year? It's even called "The Biden Rule." Now the Democrats are complaining because the Republicans are doing the exact same thing.

Only this time, "It's different."

The truth is that there is nothing new under the sun.
