Biden Lies …Again – Says SCOTUS Appointments Never Happen In Election Year

[Maxdeath]

Other than those 29 other times it’s never happened!

Well, they shouldn't. The American people should have a say in that by voting for the next President.....oh..wait..nevermind.
Uh..let's just change it to say..if a REPUBLICAN is in office, they can nominate a judge.

So under your misguided ideas the American people only vote for Republicans? Have you forgotten 44’s famous saying elections have consequences? The American people voted for a Republican senate during 44 terrible reign and they voted for Trump and for a Republican senate. So since they voted for all them that must mean they get to choose.
if you had been that upset about Ginsberg‘s replacement you should have had her retire while 44 was in power and the dems had the senate. Then the election would have had other consequences.

You don't get to make a rule and then walk it back just because it's your guy in the White House. A SC justice is appointed for life. If you want to bark about retirement, why no such recommendations for Clarence Thomas?
Yes, elections have consequences. You ready for the ones coming up for Republicans?

A rule? Did they write something into the constitution or amendments that I am unaware of? I know it might have missed your understanding but justices are allowed to retire when they want. she could have retired but chose not to.
yes we all suffered under 44 and the dems that were the majority.
we have suffered under dems when They got the majority in the house last election cycle.

Still not getting it. McConnell made the rule. He set the standard. It goes no matter who is in the White House...or so it should be. Sorry. Fail.

Actually you lie there is NO RULE, or perhaps you can link us to it in the Senate rules book? Further what Mitch said was No nominee by a President that was of a different party then the majority of the Senate at the time.

BORED. Mitch said the next elected President should choose. And the American people should have a voice in that choice. Very patriotic. Very self-righteous. Because the black guy was in the WH. DENIED!!
But, now that the just and righteous white guy is in there, he's our guy. He can do whatever he wants.

And if Hillary had been elected president she would have had the chance to nominate someone. But she wasn’t.
The senate was held by the Republicans because the people elected them. Not only at that time but again in 2016 and again in 2018. So obviously they were not that upset that the senate did not take up their time formally rejecting a judge.

The American people already had a say in it. They elected Trump -- and as Ginsberg herself said, Presidents serve for 4 years, not three.

There is nothing you can do about this appointment. Your butthurt does not override Constitutional mandates.

 

[hadit]

Well, they shouldn't. The American people should have a say in that by voting for the next President

Pretty sure they had that say when they voted for the current president. I also missed the part of the constitution that says a presidents term is 3 1/2 years and not four

Sure. But the rules were altered. Obama was President. He had the right to have his nominee put through the process. And was denied. And Republicans will pay for that. Sorry, she's illegitimate. Deal with it.

1. Yes, Obama's nominee should have had a vote. He didn't and it's kind of late now to be whining about it.
2. Rules are not laws and can be (often are) changed quickly.
3. Barrett is as legit as any other justice on the court and her opinion carries as much weight as any of theirs does. Your pretending to the contrary does nothing other than maybe make you feel better about the reality that TRUMP! gets to put ANOTHER justice on the court. You know, sour grapes and all.

"The American people should have a say in that by voting for the next President....."

See.....The thing is, the American people DID have a say. They elected Donald J Trump to be President ( Yes, he is President so get over it already) for 4 years until January 2021, not for 3 years and 8 months. Donald J Trump IS President and he should AND DID nominate a new justice. Now the Senate, which the American people ALSO had a say in electing for a term ending December 31, 2020, will do their job and advise and consent to the President's, that would be Donald J Trump because the American people had their say and elected him, Supreme Court pick and confirm his pick as the next Justice of the Supreme Court.

No. They didn't. Barack Obama was President in 2016. There was a vacant SC seat. He had the right to fill it. Period. End of story. And Mitch McConnell took that away from him.
Even though the seat was Obama's to fill, I didn't have a problem with Gorsuch. A solid judge and jurist. Kavanaugh was a scumbag. Like Clarence Thomas 30 years prior, not worthy to sit on the SC.
Barrett is an illegitimate pick. She will always have that label. Don't care one way or the other how she rules, who her children are, or whether or not she worships corn.
This will come back (and already is) to bite Republicans in the ass.

No, it won't. The Senate acts as it will. Your approval is neither sought nor required.

Joe better quit guessing wrongful information based on what he wishes rather than solid fact that proves that
he lied to the public about the times Congress installed scotus justices right before an election.

Interesting bind the pro-joe crowd is in. They don't like when the old guy's mental acuity is called into question, but in order to avoid that in this case, they would have to admit he's cynically lying, hoping his sycophants will unquestioningly run with it.

There has never been a Supreme Court nomination after the election season has begun. This is a first and a new low for Moscow Mitch, and the minority Republican Party. There is nothing you can say or do to normalize this new level of corruption.

Aren't you Canadian? Why do you think you have a say in the United States' affairs?

Doesn't matter who is president. The senate decides if a nominee will be voted on. The president and senate were opposite parties thus Obama got nowhere.

Get over it, you lost. In 2018 the American people EXPANDED the Republican majority in the senate.

He didn't set any standard. That's happened a dozen times in the past. Where a president of one party nominates a SCOTUS justice and the opposite party senate told him to basically fuck off.

Quit watching CNN they make you look like an idiot.

Perhaps you'd prefer "little bitch"? Makes no nevermind to me.

Meanwhile, Trump has his SCOTUS nominee, and she will be confirmed. You don't have to like it. It's going to happen.
