White House press secretary Josh Earnest raised eyebrows during today's press briefing by suggesting that Democrats would be “justified” to take revenge on the GOP blockade against Supreme Court nominee Merrick Garland by blocking a possible GOP president’s nomination for the president's full term.

"What's to stop Democrats who are in charge of the Senate when a Republican is in office, from saying, 'Well, we're just going to wait the four years to fill the vacancy.'  There is no material difference in that argument.  That would represent a breakdown of the process," Earnest said.

The nomination is being held up "only" because it's a presidential election year -- as I understood it.

By calling it a "break down of the process", he clearly is not advocating it. It's one of those "how would you like it if..." scenarios we all heard from our mothers to teach us to have consideration for others.
