Date: April 1st, 2019 12:15 PM Author: Odious infuriating pistol You don't know whether it was unprecedented because senators have not always stated their reasons for holding up or rejecting Art III nominations.
As for the status quo, that is preserved by filling Scalia's seat with another conservative. Dems foolishly underestimated republicans on this. They thought they would just roll over an accept a "moderate" appointment to the seat formerly occupied by the most beloved conservative Justice in living memory. More than anything they were just fucking stupid. |

Date: April 1st, 2019 11:13 AM Author: clear startling parlor depressive "republican" and "democrat" of 1945 are unrelated to the parties who use those terms today. Trying to point to some systemic history of one party vs the other by tracing back themes to this era is ridiculous. Truman vs Dewey exemplifies how much things have changed.
the "system" of the 1940s was completely rigged beyond ways one can even understand today, and it was completely accepted as such. Trying to learn life lessons from FDR, Truman, Dewey era as "Republican bad, democrat good" is absurdity.

The amendment wasn't retroactive: Truman. the POTUS at the time, would have been eligible to run as often as he wanted as per the text of the amendment.
Even if FDR *HAD* been in office when it was passed it wouldn't have done anything to prevent him from running again. |
