    McConnell did exactly what Biden said was OK to do based on the parameters Biden named when he opposed it happening in an election year.

    Why would Biden say the appointment should wait in an election year with one instance then support it happening in an election year in another?

    purely politics


    Now can you explain why you and the democrat party said only a few years ago that the Senate should do its job even though it was an election year? It didn't stop Obama from nominating Garland did it?

    Also, can you say that the democrat party would not fill this seat if they were in the same exact position say to fill Clarence Thomas' seat? Be honest now.

    Don't worry, I fully expect a deflection and non sequitur answer.

    Wallow in your despair. We are filling this seat. And if the democrats take control and expand the judiciary, then so be it. They will expose themselves as the fascist marxists that they are

    I'm accustomed to the failures of pieces of shit like you when a superior MAN like me has made you look like a fool.

    You regularly mention incels. You must know a lot about that being one.

    People should not get overconfident.

    These fuckers are slime balls. I won't celebrate until the pick is actually confirmed.

    No, that is what you just recently heard on Fox, and Sean Hannity ordered you to believe it.

    In 2016 Republicans said we cannot permit an appointment in an election year because we should let the people, aka voters, decide.

    Your lying to me is bad enough, but even worse you are lying to yourself

    Explain why you and Joe Biden opposed a supreme court appointment in an election year then supported it the next time a vacancy occurred in an election year.

    Because of the hypocrisy of the Trumpublicans.

    The Republicans had nothing to do with Biden being a hypocrite. He did that all by himself.

    Biden, a DEMOCRAT, said it shouldn't happen then Biden, a DEMOCRAT said it was OK.

    For having held Democrats to the standard Biden set the prior time a vacancy occurred during an election year? Interesting how you think Mitch is the hypocrite when Biden was the one that opposed something then supported something in the same situation.

    If the Democrats method were consistently followed it would be an equal trade- a liberal justice for a conservative one, and then a conservative justice for a liberal one.

    Fair.
    Consistent.
    Ethically defensible.

    Republicans have flip flopped for the pure reason of reshaping the Scotus in a partisan way

    If the Democrats followed the standard set by the idiot they nominated in 2020, Obama would not have nominated someone in an election year.

    The Constitution says:

    1. The President nominates
    2. The Senate confirms

    Where does it say anything about equal trade?
