The level of cognitive dissonance to say that this requires is amazing. When Republicans violate their own set rules and standards it's just following the constitution. When the Democrats fire back using the same instruments of the constitution, it's 'breaking the institutions for power'.

Sure. The Republicans today are trotting out that Obama couldn't name Garland because the President and the Senate were controlled by different parties but today the President and Senate are controlled by the same party so it's ok.
