Nominees are rarely voted for unanimously.Yeah, they in fact said they would. It was half a year btw, not a year.Yeah. Waiting a year for Merrick Garland was extreme too.Whoa whoa, waiting 4 years after an election to appoint a nominee isn’t extreme for you?No. But that’s that country we have now.Do you really want a country that only appoints judges when the senate and whitehouse are controlled by the same party.
If Clinton had won in 2016, do you think a Republican Senate would have voted on her nominee?
From Wiki:
After a period of 293 days, Garland's nomination expired on January 3, 2017 at the end of the 114th Congress.[95] On January 31, 2017, President Donald Trump nominated Neil Gorsuch to fill the Court vacancy.[96] On April 7, 2017, the Senate confirmed Gorsuch's nomination to the Supreme Court.
Neither of us are completely correct but it was longer than 6 months.
Did McConnell ever say they’d vote on a Clinton nominee? Cruz, Burr and a few others said they had no intention.
