“ Our Republican colleagues in the Senate should follow the rule they set in 2016: Not to consider a Supreme Court justice in an election year," Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer said on the Senate floor, calling for McConnell to wait until voters have spoken. "Anything but that would be the absolute height of hypocrisy."
The American people should have a voice in the selection of their next Supreme Court Justice. Therefore, this vacancy should not be filled until we have a new president," McConnell
But understand that is only to apply when a Democrat is president and the Senate is Republican controlled.
Who cares what Ted Cruz has to say. I have zero respect for him. Trump humiliated him and degraded his wife. And Cruz cowered and said nothing. A man is no man if he doesn't stand up and defend his wife.
TF? The right-wing did this unprecedented unethical move to steal the Supreme Court seat, and then four years later they expect the Democrats to be angels and keep to their higher moral ground?
Kids, this is not how life works.
Once you play dirty, you can't be shocked when the other side returns the favor. When the right-wing does that, it scream weak. I'd have more respect if the dirty player just own up to it and say, "Yeah, that's how I roll. Give me your best shot." Instead of this crying, "Hey! Why did you do what I do!"
The right-wing has no moral ground to hold the Democrats. If the right-wing hadn't done what they done four years ago, then they can hold the Democrats to their words.
Democrats have principles, but we're not stupid.
And to top it off, Scalia died in Feb. RBG died 45 days before an election. There is a much stronger case that you let the next administration decide on this matter when it's this close.

Her physical body may have died just a few days ago but her mind was shot years ago. There's a reason she couldn't stay awake at any function. I doubt any vote she made in the past few years was actually hers.

Faulty memory or lying?
Ted Cruz: "It's not easy to tick me off. I don't get angry often, but if you mess with my wife, if you mess with my kids, that will do it every time. Donald, you're a sniveling coward and leave Heidi the hell alone."
"Donald, real men don't attack women. Your wife is lovely and Heidi is the love of my life"

No seat was stolen, as you know. How do you think he would have been confirmed.
No one expects the Dems to hold any moral ground. But as you know, Barrack and Joe agree with Trump.

You haven't followed some of her questioning and decisions for the last few years.
^^^ This. It's a little scary that so many people are already figuring that therer will be legal issues with the election.
I can't think of a single election in my lifetime where the legal issues involved in the election were at issue 6 weeks before the election was even held.
And regardless, that even MORE reason NOT to fill it now when there is so mucb at risk politically. As I learned from day 1 in law school, bad facts lead to bad law.
They had to come up with some lame excuse in 2016 to block Garland and they need some excuse to change the rules once again. I haven't seen McConnell make the excuse that they need 9 judges for November just some of the right wing pundits, I trust in the courts to make the right decision regarding the election if necessary as was the case in 2016.
