Democrats, try not to be so rude this time around

Dallas Morning News | Mark Davis:

"I would hope for hearings that reveal the kind of bipartisan courtesy shown to Mr. Clinton's nominees. My expectation of that is precisely zero."

Is that a typo in the headline? Did Mark Davis instead mean to ask Republicans not to be so rude this time? Unlike the pillorying they gave to Harriet Miers? The Democrats mostly sat that one out as Republicans themselves tore apart the nominee of this Republican President, denying her even hearings, to say nothing of an up-or-down vote in the Senate. For them to now ask Democrats to act nice to this next nominee matches any perceived Democratic hypocrisy. Keywords: Supreme Court nomination, Alito
