RE: To Change the Future, Children Need History
Mike,
There is obviously a difference in rank between Chief Justice and Associate Justice, but I would add that at this point that is a distinction without a difference. A vacancy is a vacancy is a vacancy. I honestly don't think Harris was intentionally lying about Lincoln, but rather used it like Lincoln has been used for centuries by BOTH parties. The GOP is using a non-existent "tradition" as an excuse when it is nothing but rank hypocrisy. However, that's the thing about power. Only a fool would have it and not use it. The Democrats problem is that they still think the GOP is a rational party with rational leaders. It's far from that.
Best
Rob
