Why they should? They were following Biden's rule.
I personally think Biden is a flake - but when was the so-called "Biden Rule" ever adopted or used by the Senate on Supreme Court nominations?
In Context: The 'Biden Rule' on Supreme Court nominations in an election year
Leftists demanded that Bush leave SCOTUS seat vacant during the election year, so he did. Now tell me, if there wasn't rule, why leftists made such demand?
Second, if such rule doesn't exist, why Schumer demanded it's enforcement during mid election year?
Third, you lefties you can make up rules as you go, just not to respect them when they're not going in your favor. Since you used "nuclear option", now sit back and enjoy the show.
LYING FUCK
You assholes do NOTHING but lie.
What Joe Biden said was a vacancy late in the election year should not be filled until AFTER THE ELECTION OR nominate a judge the Democrats could support.
My God you Trumpettes are lying fucks. Or maybe you really are that fucking stupid
Which is it?
This is what was said:
arguing that if a Supreme Court seat became vacant during the summer, President Bush should wait until after the election to appoint a replacement, or else appoint a moderate acceptable to the then-Democratic Senate.
Note the words SUMMER and the words AFTER.
You lied & claimed it was for the entire election year and you lied when you claimed he said to wait until the following years.
Then there is that big "OR"
You Trump & the bawling crybaby drunk Kavanaugh do NOTHING biu lie.
You're trying to be funny. That is actually part of what he said. The full quote is:
"Is my view that if a Supreme Court Justice resigns tomorrow, or within the next several weeks, or resigns at the end of the summer, President Bush should consider following the practice of a majority of his predecessors and not—and not—name a nominee until after the November election is completed.
The Senate, too, Mr. President,
must consider how it would respond to a Supreme Court vacancy that would occur in the full throes of an election year. It is my view that if the President goes the way of Presidents Fillmore and Johnson and presses an election-year nomination, the Senate Judiciary Committee should seriously consider
not scheduling confirmation hearings on the nomination until after the political campaign season is over."
In the context, he was referring to election year.
Now, if is not enough, let's play the video.
And you shitstain are calling me a liar?
Second, if Biden rule doesn't exist, why Schumer was demanding it's enforcement?
