You didn't think it as necessary to make an issue of the things the different parties say when things change sides. And you have wondered, as we all have, about the lack of civility. My point was, and is, there wasn't a very public lack of civility when parties changed sides. There wasn't such a lack for the 40 years the Dems were in complete control of everything. The Repubs were much more "gentlemanly and courteous" about their disagreements with the Dems in public. As a rule, anyway. I mean really! Just as a for instance, do you remember such vileness when Ruth Bader Ginsburg was nominated for the court by a Democratic President...? And how about Breyer? Did any of the Repubs say such terrible things about either one of them? It is the place of the team out of power to criticize the team in power.
