"I want you to use my words against me. If there's a Republican president in 2020 and a vacancy occurs in the last year of the first term, you can say Lindsey Graham said let's let the next president, whoever it might be, make that nomination."
@ponderablesaid "[Mr. Obama] could let the people decide and make this an actual legacy-building moment, rather than just another campaign roadshow."
Mitch McConnell in Feb. 2016
That’s what does my nut in about this. The republicants let the seat sit empty for a whole year under Obama but now with six weeks to go they cannot wait long enough to “let the people decide”.
There was no vacant seat when Biden said that. That was merely a hypothetical.
Even so, Democrats didn't BLOCK a president from choosing a Justice; Republicans did . Biden is just one person; the entire Republican party engaged in stunning hypocrisy.
@suziannesaid No, they wouldn't, because your BS "rule" was stupid on the face of it. You shouldn't have created such a nonsense "rule" in the first place.
you can thank harry reid for the "nuclear" option.
