The Washington Post’s latest article on the ongoing Democratic responses to Republican obstruction in the Senate included quotes from Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) on potential changes to the filibuster — but it didn’t include anything about McConnell’s own role in both holding up Senate procedures and changing the filibuster once the Republicans had full control. The article ignored two important points: McConnell’s history of deliberate political obstruction for its own sake — as well as the fact that he had also changed Senate rules on the filibuster, when Republicans were in control of the government, to confirm President Donald Trump’s Supreme Court appointments. (Which had followed McConnell’s unprecedented blocking of President Barack Obama’s Supreme Court nominee from getting even a Senate hearing.)
