The asymmetry has always been the point, and not just in the media. It's legislative.

Merrick Garland was shunted out and Amy Coney Barrett was shifted in, right in front of us. When questioned, the Republicans turned themselves into rhetorical pretzels to make the case.

We should expect more of this. Republicans are sitting on one end of the seesaw and leaving us high and dry.

Then Merrick Garland returned in a role he was entirely unsuited for. His measured judicial temperament is not what we needed. And it could not have happened at a worse time.
