I’m sure I’m preaching to the coir but “unprecedented”? No it’s not unprecedented, not voting a a supreme court pick during an election is called the “Biden Rule” because Biden did it during the Bush administration. Schumer even said that he wouldn’t vote for a supreme court appointment during an election when there was no appointment pending and basically no one was even asking him. Biden is not usually right, but he was right about this. There is no reason or excuse for a lame duck president to be making supreme court picks. Elections have consequences and one of the BIG things that was at stake this election was who got to make this supreme court pick.

You're right - AND it needs to be said. Why? Because the press runs the Ministry of Truth and they're pumping out lies to the contrary...
