“I want you to use my words against me. If there’s a Republican president ... and a vacancy occurs in the last year of the first term, you can say Lindsey Graham said let the next president, whoever it might be, make that nomination,”
- Graham
It’s time for Republicans to show if they give a damn about their values.
The problem is we all know the Republicans DO NOT live by their words.
“It has been 80 years since a Supreme Court vacancy was nominated and confirmed in an election year. There is a long tradition that you don't do this in an election year. There is certainly long historical precedent for a Supreme Court with fewer justices. I would note, just recently, that Justice [Stephen] Breyer observed that the vacancy is not impacting the ability of the court to do its job."
-- Ted Cruz

Besides, Joe "it's not an option" Biden is all for it....
He could also read a teleprompter 4 short years ago.
Love all the leftists pretending their guys would act any different.

Sure is compelling.
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.

This was all said and believed before the democrats turned into deeply corrupted crazy Marxist anti-American anarchists .
Democrats have put this country through so much crap these last four years it should be criminal to vote for them anymore.....
“ 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
You don't appear to understand the rule but have the democrat talking point & propaganda down nicely with the out of context blubbering !!!
I am waiting for someone to post quotes from Schumer circa 2016 regarding Garland and why he should have had a vote in the Senate. I’m sure he has had a lot to say about this time around to compare it to.
