President Obama in a Tuesday press conference made his first effort to explain away his attempted 2006 filibuster of President Bush’s nomination of Samuel Alito to the Supreme Court, which has garnered renewed attention given the political battle over replacing deceased Justice Antonin Scalia.

First, Obama said that in effect, he was just playing politics when he tried to deny Alito an up or down vote. Second, he argued that Alito was confirmed in spite of his attempted obstruction. Both are absurd defenses. Let’s take them one by one.
