Chief Justice Roberts in the hot seat, asked to launch inquiry into McConnell's court packing scheme

[calimary]

13. And we SHOULD use McConnell's rules.

SICK AND TIRED of "fighting fair."

"Fighting Fair" demands a level playing field. Where both sides are evenly matched and have legitimately equal chances to win.

When one side refuses to play fair, in other words - demanding the right to cheat, to tilt the playing field, rig the game, to put a thumb on the scale, then there's no longer such a thing as "fighting fair." That's GONE. Then it's not a mere game anymore. And there is no "playing". If no rules apply, then no rules apply to OUR side either.

If that's the way the game is played now, and we say we want to play to win, THIS is how you win, because if you want to play to win, these days? THIS is how you have to play. unfortunately. If you play it straight and the other side cheats and wins, then there's a different "game" to play now, and it requires different rules. Basically, seems to me, if we have to play nasty because the other guys play nasty, and we have to re-tilt the playing field, what's actually happening is, ironically, leveling the playing field once again. On their level, yes. But it's no longer tilted in one side's favor.

Seems to me, anyway.
