[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What is wrong with just following the Biden rule?

He was chairman of the Judiciary committee and is now the VP........ he has credibility and strives for bipartisanship.[/quote]

Because it's a dumb rule.[/quote]

I get it that it is a "dumb rule" because when Biden proposed it we had a Republican president in office. How about the "Schumer rule" which he offered almost 18 months before GWB's term ended?

Of course, it is politics and in an ideal world politics should not enter into Supreme Court nominations and confirmations.

It really is quite simple: if what the Republicans are doing is so wrong, argue the case before the American people and try and get the Republican senators who are running for reelection defeated because they will not hold a hearing. If the American people agree with you then some or all of these senators will be defeated and the people will have affirmed that Garland should have been given a hearing.

In the meantime, the Supreme Court will continue to function and the country will survive a vacancy on the court.

BTW, I support giving Garland a hearing ....... but I know the Democrats as evidenced by Biden and Schumer's comments would do the very same thing if roles had been reversed because both parties indulge in political opportunism and nonsense.[/quote]
