Manchin on Dems’ Plan to Filibuster Gorsuch: ‘Two Wrongs Don’t Make a Right’

EXCERPT:

MANCHIN: "Let me just put it in perspective. First of all, I understand the Democrats, my fellow Democrats, the caucus is upset, and they're basically saying what was done to them with Mitch McConnell not even giving them a vote, not even having the decency to sit down and talk with Merrick Garland, a lot of the members, that was wrong. That was disgraceful. And I think Republicans had enough votes to basically block Merrick Garland, but they should have at least given him a vote. That didn't happen. So now they think, OK, that's how we were treating, so we're going to treat them the same. That's not what we were sent here today. That's not what I'm going to do. I'm anxious to sit down with the new nominee to find out more about him, to find out, basically look at his judicial rulings and have more of an idea of what's going on. If you want the third branch of government to work, then you've got to have a nine-member Supreme Court. So if Republicans did something and now Democrats are going to do something, two wrongs don't make a right."
