I guess I don't get the "law and order" framing here but maybe that's just semantics. This seems totally within the law to do. It's just that it's (a) norm-breaking and (b) explicitly defended as a power grab whereas usually there is some (often dubious) rationale for why the move is fair.
I'd just like to take a moment to say Mitch McConnell is terrible. He's adjourned the senate following the confirmation for 2 weeks.
Well, the GOP has confirmed they are no longer the party of law and order. I'm truly saddened by how far they have fallen. The only thing they respect is whatever power they can take to benefit themselves.
