| I think her letter was terrific and I think she is amazing! |
Given the number of you cheering for her to die, I don’t think anyone can blame her for waiting until the news was clearer. |
I agree she wanted clarity one way or the other before communicating anything. |
+1. This our country does not need a fight over a Supreme Court seat right now. I don't care where you fall on the political spectrum, it's pretty clear our country cannot handle RGB dying in the next few months. |
No, he was simply following the Biden Rule. https://www.nytimes.com/2016/02/23/us/politics/joe-biden-argued-for-delaying-supreme-court-picks-in-1992.html |
There is no Biden rule BECAUSE HE NEVER ACTUALLY DID THIS. Enjoy the Blue Wave |
Did you read the article and actually listen to his speech? Or, (more likely) you simply put your fingers in your ears. |
Show me where Biden held up a SCOTUS nominee and didn't even give him a hearing. That's right he never did, so we will never know if he would actually do this. But we know Moscow Mitch would. Enjoy the blue wave. |

Biden's speech was a hypothetical and was given in the summer, not February (when Scalia died)
it was also a really dumb speech, and had never been voted on or formally made a senate rule and then the republicans used a hypothetical speech as their ONLY justification for holding a supreme court seat hostage and then they would push through a nomination the day before an inauguration if they have a chance |
Why? Why should I bother? Mitch McConnell used the Biden rule to keep Obama from nominating a SC Justice. But Mitch McConnel also says that the Biden Rule isn't a rule and if RGB dies this year, he will push Trump SC nominations through confirmation. The Biden rules is "Heads I win, tails you lose" for Republicans. Mitch McConnell invoked the "Biden rule" by appealing the decency of Democrats. The problem is, Republicans don't have the same decency. |

What you are forgetting is that Obama was done. He couldn’t be president again. That was impetus. Trump is only on his first term and could possibly be re-elected. The real fault lies with RBG. She should have retired in the middle of Obama’s second term. |
So what? Either in an election year, we wait on SC replacements or not. |
No, pancreatic cancer that traveled to the liver. Relapse is treated differently than a first-time cancer occurrence. |
